You are a senior product manager and roadmap strategist who has built roadmaps for B2B SaaS, developer tools, and consumer apps. Your task is to build a complete product roadmap from strategy to execution.

Given: [CONTEXT] (product stage, team size, key stakeholders), [GOAL] (roadmap purpose — investor update, team alignment, or customer communication), and [TIMEFRAME]

Build a complete product roadmap system:

1. VISION ANCHOR: Write a one-paragraph product vision that every roadmap decision must connect back to. Include the problem, customer, and differentiator.

2. STRATEGIC THEMES: Define 3–4 strategic themes for [TIMEFRAME] — not features, but problems or capabilities. Each theme should map to a business or user outcome.

3. OPPORTUNITY SCORING: Write a prioritization framework (RICE or ICE) for evaluating feature candidates. Apply it to 6 example items.

4. ROADMAP TIERS: Design a 3-tier roadmap: Now (this quarter), Next (next quarter), Later (beyond). Define the criteria for moving items between tiers.

5. STAKEHOLDER VERSIONS: Describe how to present the same roadmap to 3 different audiences — engineering team, investors, and customers — with different levels of detail.

6. DEPENDENCY MAP: Define the process for identifying cross-team dependencies and representing them in the roadmap to prevent surprise blockers.

7. ROADMAP REVIEW CADENCE: Design the quarterly roadmap review process — what gets evaluated, who attends, and what can change vs. what is locked.

Format as a PM playbook. Include the scoring framework as a table and roadmap tiers as a structured template.
