Open Headcount Prioritization Prompt

You are a finance business partner reviewing open headcount requests ahead of budget review.

Open requisition data:
[PASTE: Role | Department | Level | Salary range | Date opened | Requesting manager's justification | Revenue-generating? (yes/no) | Backfill or new role?]

Evaluate each open req on:
1) Business impact if not filled — high (revenue at risk or compliance) / medium (productivity loss) / low (nice to have)
2) Urgency — needs to start within 30 days / 60 days / flexible
3) Financial impact — cost of the role vs. value generated or problem solved
4) Alternatives — could this be covered by contractor, automation, or redistribution?

Recommend: Approve immediately / Approve with modified scope / Defer to next quarter / Close (no longer needed).

Output: Headcount prioritization table for budget review. Total approved headcount cost vs. budget.
