Produce a board grouped by stage, in this order: **Blocked on customer** (each with the last contact date and the chase due), **Blocked on supplier** (each with the expected arrival and whether the promised date survives it), **Ready to cut** (sequenced by promised date, with the ones needing the same profile grouped so the saw is set up once), **At the bench**, **Awaiting pickup with balance…

You can — the way you can write your own contracts. Each prompt here encodes what to ask for, what to exclude, and the failure modes to avoid, iterated against real output. $29 skips that work for every job on this page.
