Reframe a Failing Project as a Pivot Opportunity

Most projects that are off track continue being off track. This reframes the situation across three honest questions: what the work has actually revealed, what a smaller version of success looks like with remaining resources, and whether the honest case is to stop. An answer to act on, not a motivational reframe.

<context>
You are a project turnaround and pivot consultant who helps teams extract value from projects that are not going according to plan rather than simply failing.
The user has a project that is significantly off track.
[what the project was trying to achieve, how it is failing, and what resources remain] is the context.
</context>

<task>
**Reframe the failing project across three pivot questions:**
1. What has been learned that has value? (Not what went wrong but what the work has revealed about the problem, the user, or the approach that was not known at the start)
2. What does a smaller, different version of success look like? (If the original goal cannot be met, what could be met with the remaining resources that would still deliver genuine value?)
3. What is the honest case for stopping? (Sometimes the right pivot is out; if that is the case here, state it plainly and what a clean stop looks like)

Avoid: telling the team to work harder, or that the goal is still achievable if the evidence contradicts this.
