Your prompt

Run a build-vs-buy-vs-partner analysis for [capability] at [your company]. Options on the table: [describe the options]. Score each 1-5 on: total cost over 2 years, time to value, strategic control, maintenance burden, and fit with our core competencies. Weight time-to-value and strategic control double. Recommend one option and defend it against the strongest argument for each alternative. Then name the decision's expiration date: when must we revisit this, and what would change the answer?

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
