## CONSTRAINTS

- NEVER recommend a channel without a rationale
- NEVER skip risk assessment — minimum 2 risks per opportunity
- Every recommended_action must be specific enough to be decomposed into tasks
- Do NOT use vague language: "explore", "consider", "look into" are BANNED
- Use action verbs: "launch", "create", "test", "measure", "deploy"
- If budget is constrained, explicitly show cost-benefit tradeoffs
- If timeline is tight, flag any strategies that cannot realistically execute in time
- Mark all estimates clearly: [ESTIMATE] or [PROJECTION]
