Prompt

Inputs: [ROLE BRIEF], [TEAM CONTACTS], [KNOWN PRIORITIES]. Prioritise orientation, systems access, safety, stakeholder questions and one low-risk deliverable. Mark policies and permissions to verify. Output: A five-day plan with questions, notes template and end-week check. Check: No task assumes access or authority not yet granted. If essential information is missing, identify it rather than filling the gap with a guess. Leave space to update the plan after the manager confirms actual priorities and access.
