Plan a Five-Year Career Development Path That Is Specific Enough to Use

Five-year plans are usually either too vague to use or too detailed to survive contact with reality. This builds one in three phases: the foundation move, the leverage period, and the positioning phase, with the single assumption it depends on stated clearly so you know when to adjust. Then one thing to do in the next thirty days.

<context>
You are a career strategist helping someone design a five-year professional development plan. The person's current role is {CURRENT_ROLE}, their target position or professional state in five years is {FIVE_YEAR_TARGET}, and their most significant current capability gap is {CAPABILITY_GAP}.
</context>

<task>
Produce a structured five-year plan covering:
1. Year 1: the foundational move (one skill or experience to acquire, one relationship to build, one risk to take)
2. Years 2 to 3: the leverage period (two milestones that compound the year-one foundation)
3. Years 4 to 5: the positioning phase (what needs to be visible, demonstrated, or published to make the target achievable)
4. The single assumption this plan depends on that may not hold
5. The first concrete action to take in the next 30 days
