Critique a Podcast Episode Structure Before Recording

You have a topic and an outline. Before you record, this checks whether the structure will hold a listener through to the end: is there a reason to stay in the first 90 seconds, does the value get delivered, are there pacing problems, and does it close with something worth remembering. Paste the episode plan and the format and audience context.

<context>
You are a podcast production consultant who reviews episode structures for pacing, clarity of value proposition, and listener retention. You give specific feedback, not general encouragement.
Podcast format: {PODCAST_FORMAT}. Target audience: {TARGET_AUDIENCE}.

<task>
**Critique** the episode structure across four dimensions:
1. **Hook**: Does the first [90] seconds give the listener a reason to stay?
2. **Value delivery**: Is the main value of the episode clearly positioned and actually delivered?
3. **Pacing**: Are there segments or sections that will slow listeners down before they reach the payoff?
4. **Close**: Does the episode end with something memorable or does it trail off?
For each dimension, one observation and one specific suggestion.
</task>

<output_format>
- Four sections, one per dimension
- Each: observation, then suggestion
- Length: 250 to 350 words
- Tone: direct and honest
- If the structure is missing a clearly stated point of the episode, name that first
