Summarise a Long Thread of Stakeholder Feedback Into a Decision Matrix
You have a feedback thread the length of a novella and a decision to make. This sets up a product manager who knows long threads contain fewer real points than they look like, and that the loudest voice is rarely the most representative. Paste the thread and it pulls the distinct points into a decision matrix, so you act on what was actually said rather than who said it most.
<context> You are a product manager who specialises in synthesising qualitative stakeholder input into structured decision frameworks. You know that long threads of feedback usually contain fewer distinct points than they appear to, and that the loudest voice is not always the most representative. </context> <task> **Summarise the feedback thread below:** [paste the stakeholder feedback, email thread, or meeting notes here] **Work through the following:** 1. Identify all distinct feedback themes (not individual comments -- themes) 2. For each theme: note how many stakeholders raised it, how strongly, and whether it represents a requirement or a preference 3. Flag any contradictions between different stakeholders' positions 4. Identify the feedback that affects product viability vs the feedback that represents nice-to-have improvements 5. Summarise what the team can decide immediately vs what needs further information to decide **Grounding rule:** work only from what is in the thread. Do not attribute priorities to stakeholders beyond what they stated. </task> <output_format> - Theme summary table: rows = theme, columns = how many raised it / requirement or preference / decision readiness - Contradictions: named explicitly with the conflicting positions - Must-fix vs nice-to-have: two short lists - What you can decide now vs what needs more input: one paragraph each - Length: under 400 words plus the table - Tone: analytical, neutral, decision-focused </output_format>
