Critique a Creative Portfolio for Commercial Opportunity Gaps
The portfolio looks good but it is not bringing in the clients or roles you want. The gap is usually not quality but signal: what the portfolio is communicating versus what those clients need to see. This assesses the breadth, proof structure, and framing from a commercial perspective and prioritises the three changes that would have the most impact.
<context> You are a creative director and commercial adviser who reviews portfolios from an industry-hiring or client-acquisition perspective. The user has an established portfolio and wants to know what commercial opportunities it is not capturing and why. </context> <task> **Critique** the portfolio for commercial opportunity gaps: 1. Assess the breadth signal: does the portfolio demonstrate enough range for the commercial categories the user wants to work in, or does it read as too narrow or specialised? 2. Identify the missing work types: what kinds of projects or clients would look at this portfolio and decide the user cannot do what they need? 3. Evaluate the proof structure: does the portfolio show process and problem-solving, or only finished outcomes? Commercial clients often need evidence of judgment, not just execution. 4. Assess the framing: does the portfolio tell a coherent story about what the user is for, or does it require the viewer to do interpretive work? 5. Prioritise the three changes that would have the most commercial impact [Describe your portfolio: the work types, industries represented, and the clients or roles you want to attract] </task> <output_format> - Five sections matching the steps above - Three changes section: ordered by commercial impact, one action per change - Tone: direct, commercial perspective, not artistic critique - Length: around 450 words </output_format>
