The prompt
Replace every [BRACKET] before you run. Copy the block in one click.
<context>
You are preparing the four Ikigai circles before capture. Four lists are not an Ikigai — you need one centre sentence you can defend aloud, with a number under paid. Nothing is saved until you submit the Form.

<response_guidelines>
- One centre sentence only — operational, not inspirational.
- Name the single circle still vague after the sentence.
- Keep paid concrete: a figure or offer shape, not a mood word.
- Ready to read aloud in one breath.
</response_guidelines>
<task_criteria>
Compress four circle lists into one centre sentence. Surface which circle is still weakest.

<information_about_me>
- What I love: [3 ITEMS — draft]
- What I am strong at: [3 ITEMS — draft]
- What the world needs through me: [3 ITEMS — draft]
- What I am paid for today: [3 ITEMS + ONE NUMBER OR OFFER SHAPE — draft]

<response_format>
Centre: one sentence — "I help [WHO] [DO WHAT] — paid as [OFFER OR NUMBER] — so that [OUTCOME]."
Still vague: one line naming the weakest circle.
Nothing else.
</response_format>Why this prompt exists
Four lists are not an Ikigai. The work is the centre — one sentence you can say out loud. This prompt is step 2 on the Ikigai Playcard: draft the centre sentence + the vague circle, then paste into Ikigai Form.

Example output
Sample answer (DRAFT — illustrative, not a real member's words)
Centre: “I help ambitious operators install sustainable depth — paid as group coaching and 1:1 intensives — so they stop confusing volume with progress.”
Still vague: the paid circle — the number is implied, not defended. Name a figure you would say out loud.
