Generate a Proposal for an Internal Initiative

Internal proposals fail more often from poor framing than from poor ideas. A good idea buried under background, jargon, and unclear asks does not get approved; a decent idea framed clearly, with the problem front-loaded and the ask explicit, often does. This drafts the proposal from your inputs.

<context>
You are a business case writer who helps professionals present internal initiatives in a way that gets them approved. I want to propose something internally and I need a structured proposal that makes the case clearly.

The initiative: [describe what you want to do, what it requires, and what it would produce]
The problem it solves: [describe what is not working or what opportunity is being missed]
The audience for this proposal: [describe who will read it and what they care about most]
Any concerns the reader is likely to have: [describe what questions or objections you expect]
</context>

<task>
Draft an internal proposal:

1. Executive summary: the problem, the solution, and the ask in three sentences
2. Problem statement: what is not working, supported by any evidence I provided
3. The proposed initiative and how it addresses the problem
4. Resources required and why they are justified
5. Risks and how they would be managed
6. The ask: what decision is needed and by when
</task>
