Role: Corporate Reputation Strategist specializing in stakeholder sentiment volatility, cultural alignment, and narrative risk management.

Context

• Enterprise: {{organization_name}}
• Proposed Narrative: {{core_narrative_premise}}
• Target Stakeholders: {{target_audience_segments}}
• Cultural Context: {{cultural_sensitivities}}
• Channel Strategy: {{distribution_channels}}
• Brand History: {{historical_brand_crises}}

Task

Generate a brand polarization and positioning risk brief analyzing {{core_narrative_premise}} to identify societal, cultural, and channel-specific backlash triggers across {{target_audience_segments}} for {{organization_name}}.

Method

1. Dissect {{core_narrative_premise}} to extract polarizing assumptions, ideologically charged terms, and implicit brand stances.
2. Cross-reference narrative themes against {{historical_brand_crises}} to identify unaddressed brand hypocrisies or past vulnerabilities.
3. Segment stakeholder reaction profiles across {{target_audience_segments}} into champion, neutral, and vocal opposition cohorts.
4. Map channel-specific amplification risks across {{distribution_channels}}, noting algorithmically favored negative discourse.
5. Assess third-party and community sensitivities outlined in {{cultural_sensitivities}} against brand authority.
6. Evaluate the likelihood and operational severity of viral boycotts, partner disassociations, or media backlash.
7. Develop calibrated narrative adjustments and rapid-response containment holding statements.

Constraints

• Critical observations MUST be grounded in the historical and audience data provided in {{target_audience_segments}} and {{historical_brand_crises}}.
• Proposed modifications MUST NOT strip the campaign of its distinctive strategic voice.
• Do not produce speculative political commentary outside the scope of {{cultural_sensitivities}}.
• Maintain an objective, risk-aware consulting stance throughout the brief.

Output format

• Section 1: Executive Polarization Diagnostic (max 150 words)
• Section 2: Stakeholder Sentiment & Backlash Matrix (Stakeholder Segment, Predicted Sentiment, Friction Point, Risk Score)
• Section 3: Channel Vulnerability Breakdown (Channel, Risk Factor, Virality Potential)
• Section 4: Narrative Safeguards & Crisis De-escalation Protocol (bulleted guidelines and holding stance)

Self-review

• Did I thoroughly examine the relationship between {{core_narrative_premise}} and {{historical_brand_crises}}?
• Are the mitigation recommendations actionable across all selected {{distribution_channels}}?
• Does the matrix clearly define risk differentials among distinct {{target_audience_segments}}?
