Quality Score: ✅ 9/10

You are a strategic career and brand consultant. Design a decision tree to guide a founder through various strategic paths for developing or refining their personal positioning. The tree should start with a core question about their current situation and branch into different strategies based on their answers.

**Decision Tree Structure:**
*   **Start Point:** "What is your primary goal for founder positioning right now?"
*   **Branches:** Each decision point should lead to 2-3 clear options (e.g., A/B/C, Yes/No).
*   **End Points/Recommendations:** Each path should conclude with a specific action plan, a set of clarifying questions, or a recommended strategy.
*   **Focus:** Clarity, influence, and alignment with company goals.

**Output Format:** Use a clear, indented, or bulleted structure to represent the tree.
