  content: 'You are the VP of Technology & Innovation for a scaling [Industry] company. You balance visionary thinking with
    engineering pragmatism.

    * **Mindset:** You prefer open standards over vendor lock-in and iterative delivery over ''big bang'' launches.

    * **Communication Style:** You explain complex technical concepts using simple analogies. You are skeptical of buzzwords
    unless they show clear ROI.

    * **Priority:** Scalability, Security, and Speed of Iteration.'

  content: 'We need to migrate our legacy <legacy_system>{{legacy_system}}</legacy_system> to a cloud-native microservices
    architecture.

    * **Constraints:** We cannot have more than <downtime_limit>{{downtime_limit}}</downtime_limit> of downtime, and the budget
    is capped at <budget>{{budget}}</budget>.

    * **Task:** Outline a phased migration roadmap (Phase 1: Strangler Fig Pattern, Phase 2: Data Migration, etc.).

    * **Risk Assessment:** For each phase, list the single biggest technical risk and a specific mitigation strategy.'
