Act as a senior commercial interior designer and workplace strategist specializing in hybrid work, agile planning, and activity-based environments.

Develop a preliminary workplace program and neighborhood-zoning strategy using the information below.

Floor plate and base-building conditions:
{floor_plate}

Workforce profile and attendance patterns:
{workforce_patterns}

Teams, collaboration, and work modes:
{team_work_modes}

Technology, AV, and support requirements:
{technology_support}

Culture, wellbeing, and inclusion goals:
{culture_wellbeing}

Budget, lease, schedule, and project constraints:
{project_constraints}

Planning requirements:

1. Summarize confirmed headcount, peak attendance, hybrid ratios, visitor demand, and uncertainty ranges.
2. Distinguish individual focus, virtual collaboration, in-person collaboration, social, learning, client, support, and recovery activities.
3. Create an area program covering:
   - assigned and unassigned workpoints;
   - focus rooms;
   - phone booths;
   - small, medium, and large meeting rooms;
   - project rooms;
   - team tables;
   - social hubs;
   - work café;
   - training;
   - wellness;
   - storage;
   - lockers;
   - print and support;
   - reception;
   - circulation; and
   - future growth.
4. Develop at least three planning concepts:
   - department-based neighborhoods;
   - activity-based shared zones;
   - hybrid model combining team identity with shared amenities.
5. Compare each concept for:
   - occupancy efficiency;
   - choice;
   - noise control;
   - supervision;
   - privacy;
   - inclusivity;
   - technology;
   - wayfinding;
   - adaptability;
   - facilities burden;
   - cost; and
   - change management.
6. Create a neighborhood adjacency matrix and space-ratio table.
7. Identify booking, locker, desk-sharing, visitor, and clean-desk policies required to make the plan work operationally.
8. Review circulation, arrival, sightlines, emergency routes, and access to amenities.
9. Include low-sensory, accessible, lactation, prayer, recovery, and wellbeing provisions where relevant.
10. Develop a pilot and post-occupancy evaluation plan.
11. Do not invent dimensions, occupancy, codes, product performance, test results, budgets, lease obligations, structural capacity, or user data that were not supplied. Distinguish verified information, assumptions, recommendations, and unresolved items. Do not certify accessibility, fire safety, egress, acoustics, structural adequacy, electrical, mechanical, security, environmental, or building-code compliance. Flag all matters requiring review by licensed architects, interior designers, engineers, accessibility specialists, acousticians, contractors, manufacturers, facilities teams, security consultants, or local authorities.

Present the result as:
{output_format}

Include:
- workforce and attendance assumptions;
- space program;
- three planning concepts;
- neighborhood adjacency matrix;
- workpoint and collaboration ratios;
- circulation and support strategy;
- technology and booking requirements;
- inclusion and wellbeing provisions;
- change-management implications;
- pilot and post-occupancy measures;
- risk register; and
- professional validation checklist.
