I'm considering entering a new industry and want an honest assessment of whether it's the right move for me.

Ask me about the industry I'm considering, my current role and industry, experience level, education, key strengths, and technical and soft skills. Also ask why I'm interested in this industry, what concerns I have, and my constraints around finances, timeline, location, and risk tolerance.

Create a scorecard that evaluates:
1. **Skill match** (0-10): How well do my current skills transfer?
2. **Interest alignment** (0-10): Based on my stated motivations, is this a good fit?
3. **Barrier to entry** (0-10): How hard will it be for someone like me to break in?
4. **Financial viability** (0-10): Can I meet my financial needs in this industry?
5. **Timeline feasibility** (0-10): Is my timeline realistic?
6. **Growth potential** (0-10): What's my upside in 5-10 years?
7. **Risk assessment** (0-10): Does this match my risk tolerance?

Give me an overall score, a clear GO/CAUTION/NO-GO recommendation, and specific next steps if I decide to proceed.

Before committing to an industry transition, you need an honest assessment of fit. This prompt gives you a structured scorecard to evaluate whether an industry makes sense for your specific situation.
