Price per unit and contribution margin. 4. Break-even point in units and revenue. 5. Margin of safety percentage. 6. Profit/loss at different volume scenarios. Create interactive calculator with charts showing break-even point visually. Include what-if analysis for pricing and cost changes. Provide interpretation guide for non-financial users.

Design quarterly OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) for a product team. Structure: 1. Company-level objectives (3-5 ambitious goals). 2. Team-level objectives aligned to company goals. 3. Key Results for each objective (2-4 measurable outcomes). 4. Confidence scores and ownership assignments. 5. Weekly check-in template for progress tracking.

Conduct SWOT analysis. Framework: 1. Strengths (internal positives). 2. Weaknesses (internal negatives). 3. Opportunities (external positives). 4. Threats (external negatives). Process: Brainstorm each quadrant, prioritize items, develop strategies (SO: leverage strengths for opportunities, WO: address weaknesses to capture opportunities, ST: use strengths to mitigate threats, WT: defensive plan). Use for strategic decisions and positioning.

Build financial projections. Components: 1. Revenue forecast (customers × price × conversion). 2. Cost of Goods Sold. 3. Operating expenses (fixed + variable). 4. EBITDA and net income. 5. Cash flow statement. 6. Balance sheet projections. 7. Break-even analysis. 8. Scenario modeling (best/worst/realistic). Use conservative assumptions. Update monthly. Essential for fundraising.

Efficient weekly meal prep system. Sunday prep: 1. Bake 5 chicken breasts (seasoned, 165°F internal). 2. Roast 5 cups vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, sweet potato). 3. Cook 5 cups brown rice or quinoa. 4. Portion into glass containers. Containers: 3-compartment, microwave-safe, stackable. Protein rotation: chicken, turkey, salmon, tofu, lean beef. Storage: refrigerate up to 5 days, freeze if longer. Reheating: microwave 2-3 minutes. Calculate macros: protein, carbs, fats. Explain food safety temperatures and storage guidelines.

Develop a comprehensive risk management framework. Process: 1. Risk identification (brainstorm all potential risks). 2. Risk assessment (probability × impact matrix). 3. Risk prioritization (high/medium/low). 4. Mitigation strategies (avoid, reduce, transfer, accept). 5. Contingency plans for top risks. 6. Risk owners and monitoring cadence. Categories to cover: market, financial, operational, technical, regulatory, reputational. Create risk register with status tracking. Update quarterly in leadership reviews.

Conduct a comprehensive SWOT analysis for strategic planning. Framework: 1. Strengths (internal capabilities and competitive advantages). 2. Weaknesses (internal limitations and gaps). 3. Opportunities (external market trends and growth areas). 4. Threats (competitive pressures and market risks). For each quadrant, provide 5-7 specific, actionable items. Create a 2x2 matrix visualization. Follow with strategic initiatives that leverage strengths and opportunities while addressing weaknesses and threats.
