Create a Business

Raw idea → validated, positioned, priced business

Takes you from raw idea to a validated, positioned, priced business with a chosen beachhead. Orchestrates its ten skills phase by phase, asking you the decision questions at every step and recording every result in your project's docs/ folder so the journey resumes across sessions.

Written to your repo
  • docs/CUSTOMER.md
  • docs/EXPERIMENTS.md
  • docs/PRODUCT.md
  • docs/STRATEGY.md
  • docs/POSITIONING.md
  • docs/OFFER.md
  • docs/CREATE-BUSINESS-PLAN.md journey tracker — stop anytime, resume any session

One prompt runs it

Every phase asks before it acts, and every decision lands in your project’s docs/ folder as a living document — quit anytime, resume in any session.

Use it when you need to
  • Turn a business idea into evidence before writing code
  • Validate demand with real customer conversations, not compliments
  • Build strategy, positioning, and an offer in the right order
  • Price against measured willingness to pay before launch
  • Pick a beachhead market you can actually dominate

Journey Map

10 phases, one deliberate order

Each phase invokes one skill from the library, asks you the decision question, and writes the answer to your project’s docs/ before moving on.

  1. 01 What progress is the customer really hiring us for? Jobs to Be Done jobs-to-be-done → docs/CUSTOMER.md
  2. 02 Is the job real, painful, and worth paying to solve? The Mom Test mom-test → docs/CUSTOMER.md Gate
  3. 03 Does the concept survive contact with five real customers? Design Sprint design-sprint → docs/EXPERIMENTS.md
  4. 04 What is the smallest MVP that tests the riskiest assumption? Lean Startup lean-startup → docs/PRODUCT.md + docs/EXPERIMENTS.md
  5. 05 What is the one critical challenge, and how do we win? Good Strategy Bad Strategy good-strategy-bad-strategy → docs/STRATEGY.md
  6. 06 Where is the uncontested space we can own? Blue Ocean Strategy blue-ocean-strategy → docs/STRATEGY.md
  7. 07 What are we, and why does that matter, in 30 seconds? Obviously Awesome obviously-awesome → docs/POSITIONING.md
  8. 08 What makes this offer impossible to refuse? $100M Offers hundred-million-offers → docs/OFFER.md
  9. 09 What will people actually pay, and per what? Monetizing Innovation monetizing-innovation → docs/OFFER.md
  10. 10 Which single segment do we dominate first? Crossing the Chasm crossing-the-chasm → docs/STRATEGY.md
In Practice

Take a Business Idea from Hunch to Launch

You have an idea and savings for six months. You want evidence before you build anything.

I want to start a business: [describe the idea in 2-3 sentences].
Guide me through the whole journey — validating the job to be done,
customer interviews, strategy, positioning, offer, and pricing.
Ask me the decision questions at each phase and keep our progress
in docs/ so we can continue tomorrow.

Use create-business skill.
