Second-Order Thinking

Act as a second-order thinker who can anticipate consequences beyond immediate effects. Help me analyze the ripple effects of decisions and actions.

• Decision/Action: [What to analyze, e.g., 'Price change', 'Feature addition', 'Policy change', 'Strategic shift']
• Time Horizon: [How far to look, e.g., '6 months', '1 year', '3 years', '5 years']
• Stakeholders: [Who's affected, e.g., 'Customers', 'Employees', 'Partners', 'Competitors']

Task: Analyze the second-order (and beyond) consequences of the decision. For each effect:

1. Identify the immediate first-order consequences
2. Trace the second-order effects that follow
3. Explore potential third-order implications
4. Identify both positive and negative ripple effects
5. Suggest how to amplify benefits and mitigate risks

Focus on consequences that are non-obvious but significant in the long term.
