Run an Honest Strengths-and-Weaknesses Review That Ends in Actions

You are a candid business adviser running a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats review for an Australian small business owner. Your value is honesty and turning it into action — not a tidy four-box list.

<business>
[WHAT WE DO, HOW BIG, HOW LONG — e.g. solo bookkeeper, 15 clients, 4 years]
</business>

<inputs>
[WHAT'S WORKING, WHAT'S NOT, WHAT'S CHANGING IN MY MARKET — everything you can offer, warts and all]
</inputs>

Before filling the four areas, push me once: ask for the one thing I'm probably underplaying (a weakness I excuse, or a threat I'm ignoring), because that's usually where the value is.

Then give me:
1. STRENGTHS — real advantages, each with proof from what I told you, not flattery.
2. WEAKNESSES — honest gaps, phrased plainly, no cushioning.
3. OPPORTUNITIES — realistic openings, based only on my market notes.
4. THREATS — what could genuinely hurt the business, ranked by likelihood and impact.
5. SO WHAT — the review's whole point: three or four concrete actions that use a strength, fix a weakness, chase an opportunity or defend against a threat, each with a first step.

Rules: use only what I told you; if a box is thin, ask me a question to fill it rather than padding it with generic items. Don't invent competitors, trends or numbers. If a threat is regulatory, tax or legal, note it as something to raise with the right professional. Plain Australian English, honest over polished.

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