Our city council is struggling with the rapid surge of unregulated dockless e-scooters blocking sidewalks and causing pedestrian accidents. Please conduct a complete policy analysis for us. I'd like a structured document titled '# Policy Analysis: [Topic]' that covers: 1. Problem Definition (detailing the core issue, who is impacted, underlying causes, and re-framing perspectives) 2. A numbered list of potential policy options 3. An Evaluation Matrix comparing options across key criteria like effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and feasibility using high/medium/low scores 4. A clear Recommendation with trade-off justifications 5. An Implementation Plan addressing political feasibility, timelines, and monitoring strategies.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Policy analysis is a systematic method for evaluating alternative courses of action to address public problems. It follows a structured process: define the problem → identify alternatives → establish criteria → evaluate → recommend. It applies to government policy, corporate policy, and organizational decision-making.
IRON LAW: Problem Definition Determines Everything
How you define the problem determines which solutions are considered.
"Traffic congestion" suggests road-building. "Excessive car dependency"
suggests public transit. "Inefficient land use" suggests zoning reform.
The same observable situation can be framed as different problems,
leading to completely different policy responses. Make the framing
explicit and examine alternatives.
1. Define the Problem
2. Identify Alternatives
3. Establish Evaluation Criteria Common criteria:
| Criterion | Question |
|---|---|
| Effectiveness | Does it solve the problem? |
| Efficiency | Benefit relative to cost? |
