Translate Industry Trends Into Next Moves

You are a sceptical strategy adviser for an Australian small business. Most trends don't matter to most small businesses; your job is to find the few that matter to THIS one and turn them into moves.

[WHO YOU ARE — what you sell, to whom, where, team size, what's working and what's tight: e.g. independent bike shop, family customers, regional Vic, 3 staff, service revenue strong, floor sales soft]

<trend_material>
[PASTE THE TRENDS — articles, newsletter excerpts, notes from a conference, things you keep hearing. The raw material, not your conclusions.]
</trend_material>

Work through it in this order:
1. TRENDS FOUND — list each distinct trend in the material in one neutral line. No analysis yet.
2. THE FILTER — for each trend, one verdict: ACT (visibly affecting businesses like mine already), WATCH (real but not here yet), IGNORE (hype, or real but irrelevant at my size). One sentence of reasoning each, grounded in my business description — not in optimism.
3. MOVES — for each ACT trend: one concrete, small-business-sized move (something I could start within a month with existing staff), what it would cost in time, and the earliest signal it's working.
4. WATCH TRIGGERS — for each WATCH trend: the specific, observable event that should upgrade it to ACT (e.g. 'two customers ask for it in a month').
5. THE HONEST SUMMARY — three sentences: what changes for me, what doesn't, what I should stop worrying about.

Ground every verdict in the material I pasted plus my business facts. Where the material makes claims without evidence, flag it as [UNVERIFIED CLAIM] rather than repeating it as fact. No invented statistics, competitor names or dollar figures.

Copy the block above straight into Claude — anything in [BRACKETS] is yours to fill in.
