Positioning, pricing, competitor analysis, GTM.
Prompts for founders and operators: pricing-page rewrites, ICP definition, competitor teardowns, board-update drafting, post-mortem structures.
Derive an ICP from your best 10 customers
Stated ICPs are wishful thinking. Real ICPs come from looking at who actually buys, stays, and expands. This prompt finds the pattern.
Rewrite a pricing page to anchor on outcomes, not features
Most pricing pages stack feature checkmarks. This prompt restructures them around the outcomes each tier unlocks.
Produce a structured competitor teardown
Most competitor analyses are feature lists. This prompt produces a teardown that surfaces positioning, gaps, and tactical signal you can act on.
Run a blameless post-mortem on an incident
Bad post-mortems blame people. Good ones produce systemic fixes. This prompt enforces the structure that produces useful artifacts.
Tighten a product pitch into a 30-second elevator version
Long pitches die in elevators. This prompt strips a pitch down to the version a non-customer can repeat after hearing it once.
Draft a concise board update memo for this quarter
Board updates fail when they bury the signal in operational noise. This prompt structures your quarterly memo so investors see decisions you need, not just metrics you tracked.
Audit your current pricing model for structural gaps
Most pricing problems aren't about the number — they're about the metric. This prompt walks through your current model to expose misalignments between how you charge and how customers get value.
Choose between PLG, sales-led, and channel for a new market
Picking the wrong GTM motion wastes 6-18 months. This prompt forces a structured comparison against your actual deal economics and buyer profile before you commit headcount.
Build the strategic narrative for a Series A fundraise
Investors fund narratives as much as metrics. This prompt constructs the causal story — market, insight, unfair advantage, and path — that makes your traction feel inevitable rather than lucky.
Synthesize churn interview notes into a strategic action plan
Exit interviews generate insight that dies in a doc. This prompt extracts patterns from raw churn notes and converts them into prioritized retention initiatives with clear ownership.
Rewrite your positioning statement to neutralize a top competitor
Generic positioning statements collapse the moment a prospect mentions a competitor. This prompt sharpens yours so it creates clear separation against one specific rival without being defensive.
Stress-test your unit economics under three growth scenarios
Unit economics that look healthy at current scale often break at 3x. This prompt forces a structured stress test before you hire or raise, not after.
Evaluate a potential strategic partnership before you commit
Partnerships feel strategic in the pitch meeting and become a distraction six months in. This prompt runs a structured evaluation before you sign an MOU or assign headcount.
Map your defensibility moat before a fundraise conversation
Investors will probe your moat in the first meeting. This prompt forces you to articulate it clearly before they do, so you're not improvising on the spot.
Define the exact triggers that should fire an expansion revenue motion
Most SaaS teams know expansion revenue matters but never codify when to actually pursue it. This prompt produces a concrete trigger map your CS and sales teams can act on this week.
Score a build-vs-buy-vs-partner decision with a weighted framework
When a capability gap surfaces, founders default to building. This prompt structures the decision so cost, speed, and strategic fit are weighed explicitly before any engineering sprint kicks off.
Diagnose why deals stall at a specific pipeline stage
A win-rate problem often hides inside one broken pipeline stage. This prompt turns your deal data and rep observations into a short, testable diagnosis rather than a vague 'sales process needs work' conclusion.
Write a one-page annual plan the whole team will actually read
Annual plans balloon into decks nobody references by February. This prompt produces a single-page document that captures priorities, constraints, and success criteria without the bloat.
Pressure-test a new market entry before committing resources
Entering a new market on optimism is expensive. This prompt applies structured skepticism to your entry thesis so the fatal flaws surface before you've hired a market-specific sales rep.
Restructure team goals after a strategy pivot mid-year
A mid-year pivot invalidates half your OKRs but you still need people pointed at something concrete. This prompt helps you rewrite team-level goals quickly without throwing away all existing momentum.
Draft a price increase notice that retains rather than triggers churn
Price increase emails are one of the highest-churn-risk communications a company sends. This prompt builds the message around value delivered rather than cost going up, with specific handling for at-risk segments.
