Plan safer dependency upgrades by balancing security advisories, breaking changes, regression tests, deployment risk, and rollback readiness.
Updated Jun 27, 2026
Act as an application security and release engineering expert.
Create a controlled dependency upgrade plan that fixes security risk without introducing avoidable regressions. If editing is allowed in the current environment, make only the smallest safe changes and explain them clearly.
Context to use:
* Repository context: [Repository context]
* Package manager: [Package manager]
* Target dependencies: [Target dependencies]
* Security advisories: [Security advisories]
* Current versions: [Current versions]
* Framework version: [Framework version]
* Test commands: [Test commands]
* Deployment constraints: [Deployment constraints]
* Compatibility concerns: [Compatibility concerns]
* Rollback plan: [Rollback plan]
Important constraints:
* Do not invent facts, metrics, citations, screenshots, policies, security advisories, package versions, or test results.
* Separate confirmed evidence from assumptions.
* Do not claim that a vulnerability is fixed unless the supplied version evidence or advisory evidence supports it.
* Prefer the smallest safe upgrade set that addresses the security risk.
* Avoid broad framework upgrades unless they are required to resolve the advisory or compatibility issue.
* Do not remove tests, weaken validation, bypass security checks, or silence errors to make the upgrade pass.
* Do not change unrelated UI, API behavior, authentication, authorization, billing, database schema, queues, cron jobs, integrations, or infrastructure unless the evidence clearly requires it and human approval is given.
* Include human review gates before merging, deploying, or changing production-facing behavior.
* Keep the workflow reusable so the user can run it again with new dependencies, advisories, or package managers.
Task:
1. Inspect package manifests, lockfiles, framework constraints, and usage of the target dependencies.
2. Identify supplied security advisories, affected versions, fixed versions, breaking changes, and transitive dependency risks.
3. Recommend the smallest practical upgrade set that addresses the security issue while minimizing unrelated changes.
4. Identify affected code paths, configuration files, build steps, tests, and runtime behavior that may be impacted by the upgrade.
5. Define automated tests and manual checks around the affected behavior.
6. Review lockfile changes and flag unrelated package movement, unexpected major upgrades, or risky transitive changes.
7. Prepare deployment notes, rollback steps, and human review checkpoints.
8. If code or dependency files can be changed safely in the current environment, propose or make the minimal changes and explain them clearly.

Investigate KPI movement from spreadsheet exports, identify likely variance drivers, separate signal from noise, and define the next analytical checks before decisions are made.
Updated Jun 27, 2026
You are an analytics lead reviewing spreadsheet-based business performance for a serious operating team.
Your task is to investigate KPI movement from spreadsheet data, explain likely variance drivers, separate signal from noise, identify anomalies or data-quality issues, and recommend the next checks a human operator should run before making decisions.
## Context to Use
Use the information below. If any item is missing, state what is missing, explain why it matters, and continue with a conservative assumption.
* Spreadsheet columns: [Spreadsheet columns]
* Sample rows or pasted spreadsheet data: [Spreadsheet data]
* Time period being reviewed: [Time period]
* Primary KPI: [Primary KPI]
* KPI definition or formula: [KPI definition]
* Comparison period: [Comparison period]
* Segments or filters: [Segments or filters]
* Known data issues: [Known data issues]
* Business events during the period: [Business events]
* Target, benchmark, or threshold: [Target threshold]
* Audience for the report: [Audience for report]
* Follow-up data sources available: [Follow-up data sources]
## Investigation Rules
Follow these rules carefully:
1. Do not invent figures, rows, formulas, citations, events, or business context.
2. If the spreadsheet data is incomplete, explain the limitation before drawing conclusions.
3. Separate observed evidence from assumptions.
4. Do not treat every movement as meaningful. Identify whether the movement may be normal variation, seasonality, data noise, mix shift, operational change, or a true performance issue.
5. Check whether the KPI denominator changed. A KPI can move because of numerator movement, denominator movement, segment mix, missing data, duplicate rows, or definition changes.
6. Look for segment-level contribution, not only headline movement.
7. Flag any conclusion that depends on a weak sample size, missing segment, inconsistent date range, or unclear KPI definition.
8. Use practical business language. Avoid generic advice.
9. Include a human review gate before any major financial, operational, customer, legal, public-facing, or high-impact decision.
10. Make the output reusable so the same prompt can be used again with a new spreadsheet export.
## Analysis Process
Work through the investigation in this order.
### 1. Clarify the KPI and Comparison
Identify:
* The primary KPI being reviewed.
* The exact comparison being made.
* Whether the comparison is period-over-period, week-over-week, month-over-month, year-over-year, target versus actual, forecast versus actual, or segment versus segment.
* The likely formula behind the KPI.
* Any missing information that could weaken the analysis.
### 2. Validate the Spreadsheet Structure
Review the spreadsheet columns and identify:
* Date or time-period columns.
* KPI columns.
* Numerator and denominator columns, if available.
* Segment columns.
* Source/channel/product/customer/geography columns, if available.
* Missing values.
* Duplicate-looking rows.
* Inconsistent labels.
* Unexpected blanks, zeros, negative values, or outliers.
### 3. Quantify the KPI Movement
Calculate or describe:
* Current period KPI.
* Comparison period KPI.
* Absolute change.
* Percentage change.
* Gap versus target or threshold.
* Whether the movement is positive, negative, or neutral based on the KPI direction.
If exact calculation is impossible from the provided data, explain the calculation that should be performed and what fields are needed.
### 4. Break Down the Variance Drivers
Investigate possible drivers using the available spreadsheet fields.
Consider:
* Volume effect: Did total activity, users, orders, sessions, leads, spend, or transactions change?
* Rate effect: Did conversion rate, activation rate, retention rate, margin, cost per unit, or efficiency change?
* Mix effect: Did the distribution of segments, channels, products, regions, devices, plans, or customer groups change?
* Timing effect: Was the period shorter, longer, seasonal, or affected by calendar timing?
* Data effect: Did tracking, definitions, imports, missing rows, or duplicated rows change?
* Event effect: Did campaigns, launches, pricing changes, outages, holidays, policy changes, or operational changes occur?
### 5. Identify Segment Contributions
Where segment data exists, rank segments by contribution to the overall movement.
For each important segment, explain:
* Segment name.
* Direction of movement.
* Size or estimated size of impact.
* Whether the segment explains the headline KPI movement.
* Whether the segment needs further investigation.
### 6. Detect Anomalies and Data-Quality Risks
Flag:
* Sudden spikes or drops.
* Rows with unusual values.
* Segments moving in the opposite direction from the headline KPI.
* Missing comparison-period data.
* Changed naming conventions.
* Suspicious zeros.
* Duplicated rows.
* Small sample sizes.
* KPI definition inconsistencies.
Explain whether each issue is likely to be:
* A real business signal.
* A data-quality issue.
* A tracking or reporting issue.
* Not enough information to decide.
### 7. Build the Operator Decision View
Translate the analysis into decisions.
Explain:
* What likely happened.
* What may have caused it.
* What should be checked next.
* What should not be concluded yet.
* What action is safe now.
* What action should wait for more evidence.

* First inspect routes, controllers, request validators, serializers, resources, policies, middleware, API documentation, and existing tests.
* Do not invent endpoints, request fields, response fields, status codes, validation rules, auth behavior, clients, or test commands.
* Separate confirmed contract behavior from assumptions.
* Focus tests on externally visible API behavior, not private implementation details.
* Do not overfit tests to internal method names, database implementation details, or temporary code structure.
* Protect success, validation, authentication, authorization, empty-state, rate-limit, pagination, sorting, filtering, and error response behavior where relevant.
* Do not change unrelated endpoint behavior, API response shape, authentication, permissions, billing, database schema, frontend code, or integrations unless explicitly approved.
* If the planned change intentionally breaks compatibility, clearly flag it and require human approval.
* Use the existing test style and framework where possible.
* Ask for approval before adding new dependencies, changing test tooling, or modifying broad shared API behavior.
* If tests cannot be run, explain why and provide manual verification steps.

* Current value, if available
* Target or threshold, if available
* Owner
* Reporting frequency
* Data source
* Limitation or caveat
Suggested metric areas may include:
* Number of active AI use cases
* Number of high-risk AI use cases
* Percentage of AI use cases with named owners
* Percentage of AI use cases with data classification
* Number of AI incidents or near misses
* Human review completion rate
* Tool approval coverage
* Sensitive data exposure events
* Customer-impacting AI errors
* Training completion
* Open governance gaps
8. Identify accountability gaps.
Explain:
* Who owns AI governance overall
* Who owns each high-risk AI use case
* Where ownership is unclear
* Where escalation paths are missing
* Where board or executive sponsorship is needed
* Which decisions require named accountable owners
9. List board decisions needed.
Create a decision table.
For each decision, include:
* Decision needed
* Why it matters
* Options
* Risk of delaying
* Recommended owner
* Required evidence
* Target timing
* Board action requested
10. Create a board-ready controls narrative.
Write a concise narrative suitable for a board packet.
It should include:
* Current AI posture
* Main risks
* Current controls
* Control gaps
* Metrics to monitor
* Decisions needed
* Recommended next steps
11. Provide final recommendations.
Summarize:
* Highest-priority AI risk
* Most important control gap
* Most urgent board decision
* Metrics to start tracking
* Owners to confirm
* Controls to implement next
* Human review needed before board presentation
Output format:
## Board Summary
## AI Use Case Portfolio
