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

Execute — do the immediate task
+We need recurring plans running by next Monday for our beta customers. Create a monthly plan at $29 and an annual plan at $290, both with a 14-day trial, assign plan IDs monthly_29 and annual_290, and ensure invoices show Company Inc as the billing name. Before activating, validate that proration is off and webhooks will receive invoice.paid and invoice.payment_failed events.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I create these plans for customers, make approvals fast: show the net monthly revenue difference between monthly and annual up top, list where tax handling might surprise reviewers, and flag any subscription features that require developer work to enforce (trial expiration, plan downgrade behavior).

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I created the plan but customers still see the old price
I just published a new monthly_29 plan and some customers are still charged the previous $25. Priya in finance says we updated prices but I can’t change active subscriptions without upsetting users. What likely went wrong, which subscriptions will bill at old rates, and the safest immediate step to align billing without breaking automations or causing charge disputes?

Become — change the pattern
+We repeatedly forget to set trials and webhooks when creating plans
Across launches we keep shipping plans without a trial window and missing webhook subscriptions, which leads to support tickets and missed revenue. Which habit change stops this pain: a preflight checklist, a required template for plan creation, or gating activation behind a finance sign-off? Recommend one concrete step I can enforce this week and how to measure it.

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.
