Hot-take response: old team in the news

What you need: Which old team or former employer (and your role + tenure there). What just happened — the trade, firing, draft, layoff, scandal, change in leadership. How you actually feel about it (one honest sentence — the AI will translate, not broadcast). Who is asking — reporters, fans in DMs, people on LinkedIn, nobody yet. Your relationship to current people still inside (close, cordial, cold). A recent post of yours so the AI can match your voice.

How to use: If you've already built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will use your profile and skip questions it already knows. Otherwise paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI walks you through 6 questions, then produces a stakes assessment, three ranked take options (safe → spicy) with risk profile per option, the ONE thing never to say, a platform-by-platform format map (LinkedIn / X / IG / your podcast), the 24-hour rule with its exception, and a close on authenticity-vs-candor — so you ship the take that sounds like you and doesn't burn the bridges you'll need in ten years.
