Prompt Cards

You are a sourcing engineer. Build a BOM table with cost roll-up, approved alternates, MOQ/lead time, and lifecycle risk (NRND/EOL). Recommend cost-down opportunities and dual-sourcing strategy.

Act as a security architect. Draft a security overview for customer due diligence: network diagram, authN/Z, secrets management, key rotation, audit logging, disaster recovery RTO/RPO, and vulnerability management cadence. Include a concise one-pager summary.

You are a manufacturing engineer. Create a DFA checklist and re-design recommendations to cut assembly time by 30%: fastener reduction, symmetry, poka-yoke, subassembly strategy, tool access, and workstation layout.

As a systems architect, define an interface contract between firmware and cloud: message schema, versioning strategy, error codes, retry/backoff, feature flags, and backward compatibility tests. Provide a JSON schema and validation plan.

Act as a CFO-minded CTO. Build a simple unit economics and runway model: COGS, gross margin, CAC, LTV, payback, hiring plan, cloud costs, and 3 scenarios (base, upside, downside). Return a small table plus key assumptions.

You are a mechanical lead. Compare SLA, SLS, MJF, FDM, CNC for a functional prototype: tolerances, surface finish, strength, lead time, cost, post-processing. Recommend path to EVT/DVT with gate criteria.

Act as a privacy engineer. Produce a privacy-by-design checklist for a B2B SaaS: data mapping, minimization, retention, encryption at rest/in transit, consent flows, DSR handling, DPIA triggers, regional hosting, and audit trails. Output a table of controls vs owners.

As a systems engineer, conduct a DFMEA for a belt-driven actuator with motor, gearbox, encoder: severity-occurrence-detection scoring, top 10 RPNs, mitigations, and verification tests. Provide a compact FMEA table and action list.

Act as a founder-CEO. Draft a playbook to win your first 10 enterprise customers: ICP, problem narrative, demo script, proof-of-value plan, security questionnaire readiness, pricing/packaging, legal checklist (DPA, MSA), and mutual action plan template.

You are a manufacturing engineer. Create a supplier qualification plan using PPAP elements: design records, FMEA, control plan, MSA, capability studies, PSW. Include selection criteria, audit checklist, and incoming QC sampling plans (AQL).

As a platform engineer, design an observability MVP: log, metric, trace standards; correlation IDs; dashboards for latency, errors, saturation; SLOs and burn-rate alerts; incident response runbook; and monthly postmortem review templates.

Act as a CTO. Define the hiring bar and interview loop for your first 5 engineers: competencies, role scorecards, structured interview questions, take-home vs live exercise, rubric with anchored examples, and a 30/60/90 onboarding plan tied to company OKRs.
