Context

• Advisory Firm: {{firm_name}}
• Primary Document Types: {{primary_deliverables}}
• Current Production Tools: {{current_design_tooling}}
• Governing Guidelines: {{brand_guideline_version}}
• Evaluated Practice Groups: {{practice_groups}}
• Regulatory and Legal Constraints: {{compliance_requirements}}

Task

Author a comprehensive collateral system diagnostic report analyzing visual fidelity, usability, and cross-team consistency across {{firm_name}} deliverables to eliminate brand fragmentation.

Method

1. Audit active samples of {{primary_deliverables}} against criteria in {{brand_guideline_version}}.
2. Review baseline grids, typographic hierarchies, chart formatting, and color application in {{current_design_tooling}}.
3. Identify common practitioner workarounds that cause unauthorized formatting across {{practice_groups}}.
4. Evaluate data visualization readability and financial table layout legibility under dense information loads.
5. Cross-reference layout patterns with mandatory disclaimer and footer rules in {{compliance_requirements}}.
6. Score deliverable categories on template integrity, visual authority, and authoring effort.
7. Detail concrete template refactoring actions to enforce system-wide visual discipline.

Constraints

• MUST evaluate every deliverable listed in {{primary_deliverables}}.
• MUST NOT recommend software switches outside {{current_design_tooling}} without detailing operational disruption risks.
• Diagnostic tone MUST remain objective, analytical, and actionable for practice operations leads.
• Mandatory disclaimers under {{compliance_requirements}} MUST be incorporated into layout standards.

Output format

Deliver a report organized into four distinct sections:

1. System Health Scorecard (table with deliverable type, compliance rating, and primary failure modes)
2. Practice Group Variance Analysis (reviewing {{practice_groups}})
3. Data Visualization & Typography Audit
4. Template Remediation Plan (prioritized high/medium/low) Total length must remain between 500 and 750 words.

Self-review

• Are all items in {{primary_deliverables}} scored clearly in the audit?
• Does the analysis address the limitations of {{current_design_tooling}}?
• Are compliance mandates from {{compliance_requirements}} fully respected?
