SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Founders and operators often struggle to judge whether a business idea, startup concept, or side project deserves more time and capital. This Skill applies VC-style but scale-aware judgment to produce a scored decision, financial sketch, and adjacent alternatives for a single opportunity. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Weighted Opportunity Scoring: Rates nine dimensions including customer pain, distribution, monetization, defensibility, and founder fit, with weights adjusted for venture-scale, bootstrapped, or micro opportunities. - Decision Categories: Recommends one of Grow, Launch, Validate, Pivot, Run for Cash, Park, Kill, or Remove, with a confidence level and one-sentence verdict. - Financial Sketch: Produces base, upside, and downside revenue scenarios, break-even paths, and labeled assumptions without fabricating market data. - Use Case: A founder asks whether to launch a niche B2B SaaS idea. The Skill scores it across the rubric, sketches unit economics, identifies the riskiest assumption, and suggests a faster-to-validate productized service alternative. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to evaluate your startup idea and decide whether to pursue, pivot, or kill it, including a score and rough financial sketch.

Frequently Asked Questions about strategy-planning-opportunity

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate a startup idea before investing time and money?▼

Provide the idea, target customer, stage, and your goal, and the Skill scores it across nine weighted dimensions like customer pain, distribution, and unit economics. It returns a decision category such as Grow, Validate, Pivot, or Kill with a confidence level and next validation step.

What criteria should I use to score a business opportunity?▼

The rubric covers customer pain and urgency, market structure, distribution advantage, monetization, defensibility, timing, founder fit, execution complexity, and portfolio fit. Weights shift depending on whether the opportunity is venture-scale, bootstrapped, or a micro side project.

Can this assess small side projects, not just venture startups?▼

Yes, the assessment is scale-aware and evaluates bootstrapped businesses, services, and micro-opportunities against your stated goals. A small durable cash-flow idea can score highly if it fits your constraints, without being forced to meet venture-scale outcomes.

Does the opportunity assessment include financial projections?▼

It produces a high-level financial sketch with revenue model, pricing, break-even path, and base, upside, and downside scenarios. Assumptions are labeled as known, comparable, estimated, or speculative rather than presented as facts.

When should I not use opportunity scoring for a business idea?▼

Do not use it for writing PRDs, marketing strategies, feature prioritization, or full market research reports, which are handled by separate skills. It also avoids defaulting to more research when an idea is clearly weak enough to kill.
