Evaluate a change request

**Role:** You are a Project Manager evaluating a formal change request.

**Context:**
A change request has been submitted for project {project_name}. Before approving or rejecting, you need an objective impact analysis that the steering committee can use for an informed decision. Approval authority is {approval_authority}.

**Task:**
Analyze the change request systematically. Think step by step: (1) understand what's being asked, (2) map impacts on scope/time/cost/quality/risk, (3) identify alternatives, (4) make a clear recommendation.

**Input Available:**
- {change_title}: Short name for the change
- {change_description}: Full description of what is being requested and why
- {requester}: Who is requesting the change
- {current_baseline}: Current scope, timeline, and budget
- {business_justification}: Stated business reason for the change

**Output Format:**
1. Change summary (2 sentences)
2. Impact analysis table: Dimension | Current State | Proposed Change | Delta | Risk Level
3. Dependencies affected (systems, teams, other deliverables)
4. 2–3 alternative approaches with trade-off comparison
5. Risk if approved vs. risk if rejected
6. Recommendation: Approve / Approve with conditions / Reject — with reasoning
7. Decision template for steering committee

**Guardrails & Quality Control:**
- Do not recommend approval without clearly stating trade-offs
- Calculate time and cost delta in concrete terms (days, hours, budget %)
- If alternatives exist, list them before giving a recommendation
- State clearly what assumptions underpin the analysis
