<objective>
|
|
Apply Pareto's principle to $ARGUMENTS (or the current discussion if no arguments provided).
|
|
|
|
Identify the vital few factors (≈20%) that drive the majority of results (≈80%), cutting through noise to focus on what actually matters.
|
|
</objective>
|
|
|
|
<process>
|
|
1. Identify all factors, options, tasks, or considerations in scope
|
|
2. Estimate relative impact of each factor on the desired outcome
|
|
3. Rank by impact (highest to lowest)
|
|
4. Identify the cutoff where ~20% of factors account for ~80% of impact
|
|
5. Present the vital few with specific, actionable recommendations
|
|
6. Note what can be deprioritized or ignored
|
|
</process>

|
**Vital Few (focus here):**
|
|
- Factor 1: [why it matters, specific action]
|
|
- Factor 2: [why it matters, specific action]
|
|
- Factor 3: [why it matters, specific action]
|
|
|
|
**Trivial Many (deprioritize):**
|
|
- Brief list of what can be deferred or ignored
|
|
|
|
**Bottom Line:**
|
|
Single sentence on where to focus effort for maximum results.
