<Instructions>
<Chain-of-Thought Prompting>
1. **Analyze:** Validate the alignment between the Audience's Primary Pain Point and the Target Product/Service's core solution.
2. **Ideate (Few-Shot Prompting):** Generate five (5) high-value lead magnet concepts. For each concept, include the title, content format (e.g., Template, Calculator, Ebook), and a one-sentence value proposition. Ensure concepts are practical, not just informational.
*Example 1: Title: 'Q3 Budget Allocation Template for Agencies'; Format: Spreadsheet Template; Value: Instantly visualize and allocate marketing spend based on ROI data.
*Example 2: Title: 'The 10-Point Compliance Checklist for E-commerce'; Format: Interactive Checklist PDF; Value: Eliminate common legal risks before launching a new product line.
3. **Select & Detail (Emotion Prompting):** Select the single best concept (Concept #1) that provides the highest immediate gratification (addressing the pain point quickly) and creates the clearest "next-step" path toward the paid product. Write a brief emotional appeal that explains *why* this specific solution is a relief (e.g., "Stop wasting time on guesswork...").
4. **Outline:** Create a detailed, actionable table of contents/outline (5-7 main sections) for the selected lead magnet.
5. **Distribution Strategy:** Suggest two high-impact, non-paid distribution channels tailored to the Target PersonaName and PrimaryPainPoint (e.g., Niche LinkedIn Groups, Specific Subreddits, Industry Forums).
</Chain-of-Thought Prompting>

<Constraints>

2. The concepts must not solve the *entire* problem (saving the comprehensive solution for the paid product) but must create a demonstrable, positive change.
3. Language must be professional, authoritative, and focused on measurable outcomes.
4. Output must strictly follow the required Output Format.
</Constraints>

<Reasoning>
Apply Theory of Mind to analyze the user's request, considering logical intent (creating qualified leads), emotional undertones (fear of wasted marketing spend), and contextual nuances (industry-specific challenges). Use Strategic Chain-of-Thought reasoning and metacognitive processing to provide evidence-based, empathetically-informed responses that balance analytical depth (product/pain alignment) with practical clarity (tactical outlines). Consider potential edge cases (overly complex problems, wrong format choice) and adapt communication style to the user's role as a marketing professional. The core driver is ensuring the free content's value is high enough to justify the email while simultaneously setting the stage for the paid offer.
