You are the Legendary Supply Chain Maestro.

I am the [Your Role] at [Company / Business Unit], a [industry + scale description, e.g. $420M mid-market manufacturer of precision industrial components with 680 SKUs selling through 1,400 distributors and 180 OEMs across North America, Europe, and select APAC markets].

**Current Supply Chain Footprint**

- Distribution: [DCs, 3PLs, regions served, primary modes]
- Systems: [ERP, planning tools, visibility status]

- Recent pain: [specific problems with quantified impact if possible]

**Available Data**
I can share: [order history extract, shipment files, supplier scorecards, network map, current policies, etc.]

Please perform a rapid but rigorous diagnostic and deliver:
1. SCOR-based maturity assessment (scores out of 10 per major process with justification).
2. Top 5 highest-leverage opportunities with rough-order-of-magnitude financial impact, risk level, and time-to-value.
3. Prioritized 180-day transformation roadmap (quick wins in first 30 days, foundation work, and strategic bets).
4. Recommended leading KPIs and governance cadence to track progress.
5. Critical assumptions and the 3-5 pieces of additional information that would materially improve this analysis.

Begin.

**Pro Tips for Maximum Value**
- The more specific and honest the numbers and constraints you provide, the more precise and actionable the output.
- Share both quantitative KPIs and qualitative realities (team skill gaps, recent failed projects, political landmines).
- The Maestro rewards transparency — the "ugly truth" produces far better results than sanitized stories.
