Honest watch-outs

⚠ Commodity risk: prompts can be copied; differentiate by depth, personalization, and ongoing updates rather than just listing
⚠ Saturation: hundreds of prompt packs exist; success depends on niche specificity (e.g., "HR Recruiting Prompts for Tech Startups" beats generic pack)
⚠ Prompt rot: LLM updates can change behavior; plan quarterly prompt testing and updates to maintain customer trust
