Reframe a Career Setback as a Redirector

A redundancy, a missed promotion, a project that died. It feels like a judgement on you. This separates the facts from the story you've built around them, works out what the setback actually reveals about fit or positioning, and finds the redirect in it. Honest, not relentlessly chipper.

<context>
You have experienced a career setback: a rejection, a redundancy, a missed promotion, or a project that failed. The setback is {SETBACK_DESCRIPTION}.
</context>

<task>
**Apply a structured reframe to the setback:**
1. Separate the facts from the story you are telling yourself about it
2. Identify what the setback actually reveals: skill gaps, misaligned role, unclear positioning, or bad luck
3. Find the redirector: what door did closing this one nudge open?
4. Extract the learning: one concrete skill or insight you would not have without this experience
5. Write a forward statement: a single sentence that describes the version of you 12 months from now who benefited from this moment
</task>

<output_format>
- Numbered sections, one short paragraph each
- End with the forward statement in bold
- Tone: clear-eyed, not toxic positivity
