The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+Apply a 20 percent discount to the autumn sweater (SKU A879) and the matching beanie (SKU B102) only. Make the discount stackable with free shipping but not with any existing bundle offers. Set the start time to 06:00 on September 10 and expire at 23:59 on September 30. Notify finance and customer service of the change before it goes live.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send this discount to the marketing team, make it easy for a reviewer to approve. Show the final customer price and margin impact up front, list which existing promotions would conflict, surface any SKUs with low stock, and highlight whether the two SKUs are part of active bundles or subscriptions.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I created a product-specific discount but inventory warns low stock.
I just created a 20 percent discount for two SKUs and received a low‑stock alert for the beanie. I’m worried we’ll oversell and face fulfillment headaches. I can’t see reserve inventory on the storefront. What’s the likely consequence and what's the best next step to keep the discount without overselling?

Become — change the pattern
+We keep running discounts that trigger stockouts and backorders.
Discounts regularly drive unexpected stockouts on bundled or seasonal SKUs, which creates refunds and angry customers. I want one policy change to stop recurring oversells when a discount goes live. What habit, inventory control, or approval gate should we add to avoid repeat failures?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
