Your prompt

Force trade-offs among these priorities for [your company/team]: [list 5-10]. Rules: you may keep at most 3 as true priorities - the rest get explicitly demoted to later or never, each with a stated reason. Rank the survivors, assign each a single owner and a measurable outcome, and write the one-paragraph we-are-NOT-doing memo I would send the team so nobody keeps working on the demoted items in secret. If I resist cutting something, argue with me until the list is down to 3.

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