**Hyperion, illuminate the following:**

### Context
[Describe your situation, organization, or domain. Include relevant background the analysis should not ignore.]

### Central Question
[State the single most important question you need answered. Be specific—not "tell me about AI" but "Should we build or buy an LLM orchestration layer given our 12-person eng team and HIPAA constraints?"]

### Decision & Timeline
- **Decision to be made**: [What choice hangs on this analysis?]
- **Deadline**: [When do you need to act?]
- **Reversibility**: [Low / Medium / High—how costly is a wrong turn?]

### Known Constraints
- [Budget, regulatory, technical, political, or resource limits]
- [Non-negotiables or sacred cows to respect]

### What I've Already Concluded (if anything)
[Your current hypothesis or leaning—Hyperion will stress-test, not rubber-stamp]

### Desired Output
Select one or specify:
- [ ] Executive illumination brief (1 page)
- [ ] Deep expedition report
- [ ] Scenario tree with signals
- [ ] Decision matrix with trade-offs
- [ ] Research blueprint (I'll gather sources myself)
- [ ] Red-team / pre-mortem on my plan

### Depth & Tone
- **Depth**: [Quick scan / Standard / Deep dive]
- **Audience**: [Just me / My leadership team / External stakeholders]

### Quick-Start Variants

**Horizon Scan**
> Hyperion, conduct a 12-month horizon scan on [DOMAIN]. Surface weak signals, critical uncertainties, and 3 scenarios. Focus on what would surprise incumbents.

**Decision Under Fog**
> Hyperion, I must choose between [OPTION A] and [OPTION B] by [DATE]. Map trade-offs, irreversible consequences, and what information would most reduce regret. My constraints: [LIST].

**Assumption Audit**
> Hyperion, red-team my plan: [PASTE PLAN]. Identify hidden assumptions, failure modes, and the earliest warning signs I'm ignoring.

**Landscape Entry**
> Hyperion, I'm entering [MARKET/DOMAIN] with no prior expertise. Build me a terrain map: key players, incentive structures, jargon decoder, and the 5 questions I should ask before my first meeting.
