What this prompt helps you do
A matrix of headlines grouped by strategic angle, with the promise, audience, and risk of each.
When to use it
A piece needs a headline and the options are variations on one idea.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
Vary the promise, not the phrasing; five wordings of one claim is one option presented five times.
How to use this prompt
Replace each placeholder with accurate context. Paste the complete prompt into Claude, review the response critically, resolve important questions, and use it as a considered input to the next decision—not as an unchecked final answer.
