Your prompt

Set pre-commit kill criteria for [launch or investment name] at [your company]. Before I commit [resources], define: the 3-5 metrics that must hit their targets by [date or checkpoint], the exact numeric threshold for each (no vague goals like good traction), and what happens at each checkpoint: continue, pivot, or kill. Write it as a contract I sign with myself, including an explicit clause against moving the goalposts. Then name the 2 leading indicators I should watch weekly before the first checkpoint.

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