The funnel numbers, budget, and structural lessons preserve the shape of the original engagement so the example retains its teaching value.\\n\\nUse this as the \\\"what good looks like\\\" reference when drafting a new plan. The structure, tone, depth, and operational specificity are the bar to clear.\\n\\n**Quietude's archetype:** Hybrid hardware + software with deep-tech / clinical credibility layer. See `references/client-types.md` for archetype patterns.\\n\\n**Funding-stage context:** Pre-seed-close (mid-raise on $3M seed). Tier 1 per `references/funding-stage-unlocks.md`. $0 paid budget; organic + lifecycle + ambassador only.\\n\\n**What was strong about this plan:**\\n- Strategic frame (Section 2) leaned on the founder's own meditation-vs-regulation framing as the content pillar\\n- Current state (Section 3) included the 17-section audit rubric scored against existing materials (no formal audit run)\\n- 90-day roadmap (Section 9) had owner-assigned moves, not just actions\\n- Ops stack (Section 11) included a concrete operational proof-point (Customer.io MCP used live by non-technical founder on the kickoff call)\\n- Tactical idea bank (Section 12) cross-referenced all 139 marketing-ideas to AARRR + Quietude-specific status, including 23 explicit skips with rationale\\n\\n---\\n\\n# Quietude — Marketing Plan v1\\n\\n**Prepared by:** Casey Reed (fCMO)\\n**For:** Alex, Sam, and the Quietude team\\n**Date:** 2026-05-27\\n**Status:** Draft v1 — for team review\\n\\n## 1. Executive summary\\n\\nQuietude has built something rare: a clinically validated, brand-coherent, founder-led product in a category that doesn't yet have a name. The opportunity in the next twelve months is not to invent a marketing engine from scratch — it's to **convert the existing organic gravity into a measurable, repeatable funnel**, then layer paid acquisition on top of that funnel once the seed round closes.\\n\\n**Three big bets, ranked by leverage:**\\n\\n1. **Fix the leak before pouring water in.** The Day 1 → Day 35 funnel shape (1.34% → 5.46%) tells us the product converts given time and contact. What it's missing is a working first-session moment (the headphone gate is killing conversion) and a lifecycle layer to deliver the contact. These two pieces — onboarding rebuild and Customer.io flows shipped — are the unlock for everything else.\\n2. **Compound the moats Quietude already has.** Peer-reviewed clinical study, longevity-influencer PR, 15K live event participants, Alex's founder voice — these are link generators, content pillars, and credibility anchors that most wellness brands would kill for. They're under-leveraged. SEO, content, and App Store optimization translate them into search and discovery surface area.\\n3. **Build the founder-and-fCMO operating system that lets a 4-person team market like a 20-person one.** This is what makes the plan actually executable at Quietude's team size and burn rate — agentic tooling on top of Customer.io, Shopify, App Store, Stripe, GitHub, and the marketing skill library means we ship without hiring.\\n\\n**What twelve months looks like, plausibly:**\\n\\n- App goes from beta to GA. Onboarding converts at meaningful lift over today's baseline.\\n- 4 SEO content pillars staked, with Pillar 1 (Nervous System Regulation) and Pillar 2 (Sleep + Eye Mask) ranking on Tier-1 keywords.\\n- Full lifecycle live in Customer.io: onboarding, lapsed re-engagement, hardware post-purchase, subscription-center opt-ins.\\n- Ambassador program live with 15–25 active hosts. First Quietude Guides cert pilot run.\\n- Eye mask wedge selling at scale via Shopify with a clean hardware → app activation path. Blended CAC measured and tracked.\\n- Paid acquisition firing post-seed-close at $5–10K/mo initial test budget, scaling to $20–50K/mo if unit economics validate.\\n- Series A narrative writes itself: clinical evidence + activation lift + lifecycle compounding + first B2B install reference cases.\\n\\n**The 90-day priorities** (which the rest of this doc operationalizes):\\n\\n1. Kill the headphones gate. Ship the bedrock fix this week.\\n2. Run the three-variant onboarding test. Find the activation winner.\\n3. Ship Customer.io Flows 6 (eye mask post-purchase) and 4 (lapsed user) — hold Flow 2 (onboarding) until app UI stabilizes.\\n4. Rewrite the App Store listing in Quietude's brand voice. Highest-leverage non-site asset right now.\\n5. Stake the SEO foundation: consolidate to `quietude.app`, publish Pillar 1 hub + 3 spokes, publish the peer-reviewed psychophysiology study landing page.\\n6. Launch the ambassador program with the ~5 inbound waiting.\\n\\nEverything else compounds on top of those six.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 2. Strategic frame\\n\\nThis section distills positioning, ICP, and brand voice into what the team needs to keep in mind while executing. Full detail lives in `marketing-os.md`, `icp.md`, and `sound-philosophy.md`.\\n\\n### What Quietude is, in one sentence\\n\\nA nervous system intelligence platform — clinically validated spatial audio + AI reflection companion (Mira) + hardware + venue installations + practitioner network. *\\\"We start with sound. We expand to every sense. We end with cities.\\\"*\\n\\n### The category we're claiming (and defending)\\n\\nQuietude doesn't fit the meditation app category, the focus audio category, or the sleep tech category. The brand makes a stronger claim: **bottom-up nervous system regulation through spatial audio**, with clinical evidence as proof and somatic credibility as defense.\\n\\nThe category-defining frame, per Alex (2026-05-19): **Meditation is top-down. Quietude is bottom-up.** Meditation uses the mind to command the body — mental kung fu that fails the very people most likely to need help, because the prefrontal cortex is offline when stressed. Quietude enters through the brainstem, before the thinking mind. The body responds before it has to try. (Full content-pillar treatment in `meditation-vs-regulation.md`.)\\n\\nThis is the single most important strategic message. It belongs in App Store copy, onboarding, lifecycle email, SEO content, ambassador talking points, and the seed deck.\\n\\n### Who we're for (D2C ICP, distilled)\\n\\nOverstimulated high-achieving professionals, 25–45, urban (Bay Area, NYC, London, Berlin, Austin). Tech workers, founders, creators, academics, designers, consultants. Often neurodivergent (ADHD, HSP, gifted). Sophisticated wellness buyers — already invested heavily in their inner life.\\n\\n**Their stated problem:** *\\\"I can't shut my brain off. I've tried meditation apps. They don't work.\\\"*\\n\\n**Their real problem:** Overstimulation, not under-motivation. Their gift (quick thinking) became a curse. They need permission to stop optimizing — including their rest.\\n\\n**What they're actually buying:** the *feeling* of stability, sensory indulgence, beautiful rituals, effortless effectiveness, a luxurious shortcut to the genius they can't access in chaos.\\n\\n### The business model logic (per seed deck)\\n\\n**B2B seeds the market. D2C harvests.** A venue install puts Quietude in front of ~20K people/year at ~$17K cost → 5% convert to subs → ~$430K/year per venue. Six compound channels (referral, Guides, content, home hosting, PR, community) make CAC approach zero by Year 3. Year 5: 75% of new subs come from near-zero-cost channels.\\n\\n**fCMO scope per kickoff: D2C-led.** Alex owns B2B sales through events/network/founder credibility. The fCMO leverage is on the app/hardware D2C side. This plan reflects that split — B2B is acknowledged as the harvest engine but not treated as primary work surface.\\n\\n### Brand voice (the non-negotiable)\\n\\nPer Marketing OS:\\n- **Tone.** Authoritative yet accessible. Intimate yet professional. Revolutionary yet grounded. Authority comes from lived experience, not explanation.\\n- **Speak from the body, not the mind.** Every sentence restores somatic safety and orientation. Language opens space rather than closing meaning.\\n- **YES vocabulary:** Aliveness, inner life, nervous system, spatial sound, resonance, somatic safety, embodied clarity, natural rhythm, orientation, initiation, truth-telling.\\n- **NO vocabulary:** Zen, chill, vibes, \\\"high-vibe,\\\" spiritual bypass, meditation clichés, didactic/explainer language, \\\"let me explain why this works.\\\"\\n- **Core method: Initiatory Reflection.** Writing's purpose isn't to explain or convince — it's to shift the reader's internal state. The result should be *\\\"something in me moved,\\\"* not *\\\"I understand this concept.\\\"*\\n- **CTA rule:** Never pressure. \\\"We do not remind. We invite.\\\"\\n\\nThis rule constrains every piece of copy across every AARRR stage. When in doubt: rewrite from the body.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 3. Current state\\n\\nThis is what we're starting from — team, budget, what's already in motion, what's stuck, scored against the CF Marketing Audit 17-section rubric.\\n\\n### Team composition (marketing surface area)\\n\\n| Person | Role | Marketing surface area |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| **Alex** | Co-founder, CEO | Owns: personal LinkedIn, live events, B2B sales, founder narrative, investor relations, brand voice authorship |\\n| **Sam** | Co-founder, CXO | Owns: clinical/somatic credibility, brand-voice stewardship, somatic angle on copy review, practitioner network |\\n| **Devon** | Lead Dev | Owns: product/UI build, instrumentation, Customer.io event wiring, App Store deployment |\\n| **Ed Dorsey** | Design Advisor | Advisory cadence (ex-Apple/Airbnb/Strava) |\\n| **Emily Babich** | Creative Strategy | Advisory cadence |\\n| **Matt Mikkelsen** | Field Recording | Audio library, not marketing |\\n| **Casey Reed** | fCMO | Strategy, lifecycle, SEO, onboarding tests, content, ambassador program, ops stack |\\n\\n**No dedicated marketing hire yet.** First hire likely post-seed close (Q3 2026 candidate): a lifecycle + content marketing manager who owns Customer.io, SEO content production, and ambassador operations day-to-day.\\n\\n### Marketing budget (current)\\n\\n- **Paid acquisition:** $0. Confirmed by Alex, 2026-05-20: *\\\"D2C UA so far: My personal LinkedIn posts, live Quietude events, organic word of mouth, and organic app store discovery.\\\"* No paid layer.\\n- **Tooling stack:** Customer.io subscription, Shopify (eye mask storefront), App Store Connect, GA4 (or pending), Stripe, Notion, Dub.co (ambassador attribution). Estimate ~$500–1,500/mo combined.\\n- **fCMO retainer:** Casey Reed engagement.\\n- **PR:** No paid PR. Organic longevity-influencer tailwind, consumer-tech angels + foundation-model lab network.\\n\\n**Implication:** The 90-day plan must produce gains without any paid lever pulled. Everything in the next 12 weeks is organic, lifecycle, or product-level. Paid is a Q2–Q3 unlock.\\n\\n### What's already done (acknowledge, then build on)\\n\\n| Asset | Status | Marketing leverage |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Peer-reviewed peer-reviewed psychophysiology study (2025) | Published | Anchor of clinical authority. Most undermarketed asset Quietude owns. |\\n| longevity-influencer eye-mask endorsement | Live, generating Shopify sales | Press hook. Underused for landing-page social proof. |\\n| consumer-tech angels + foundation-model lab investment | Closed | Investor PR opportunity. \\\"Why I invested\\\" Substack/Medium pieces. |\\n| 15K+ live event participants over a decade | Real | Email list potential, ambassador pool, testimonial bank, B2B reference. |\\n| Quietude eye mask (5K in stock) | Selling | The wedge product. Hardware → app activation path. |\\n| 38% 12-month retention (vs. category avg 20%) | Real | Headline metric.

That's the gap this plan closes.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 4. Acquisition\\n\\n> *\\\"How do strangers become aware of Quietude?\\\"*\\n\\n### Current state\\n\\n100% organic. Four real channels: Alex's personal LinkedIn, live Quietude events, organic word of mouth, organic App Store discovery. Plus passive PR drag from longevity-influencer endorsement + clinical study.\\n\\nThis is good news, not bad. Every dollar of revenue earned to date has been earned without paid acquisition. The bar to exceed it isn't high; the upside on top of an organic base is significant.\\n\\n### The plan\\n\\n**Channel 1 — SEO (primary 90-day investment).**\\nThe full 90-day plan lives in `seo/plan.md`. Summary: consolidate to `quietude.app`, target three asymmetric clusters (nervous-system regulation KD 14–32, weighted/blackout sleep mask KD 6–30, WELL + social-wellness-club B2B KD 5–34), publish 4 content pillars. 90-day target: 500–1,500 organic visits/mo, 80+ ranking keywords. 12-month target: 10,000/mo, 1,000+ keywords.\\n\\n**Channel 2 — App Store optimization (highest-leverage non-site asset).**\\nThe App Store listing is currently the most-visited Quietude URL by Apple's algorithm. Fixing the copy is higher-leverage this quarter than fixing the marketing site. Rewrite in brand voice. Add the meditation-vs-regulation framing. Lead with the clinical anchor. Test screenshot variations.\\n\\n**Channel 3 — Alex's LinkedIn (productize the channel).**\\nToday it's ad-hoc founder posting. The next move is structured: a 2–3x/week cadence, post categories that map to the content pillars (nervous system, sound science, founder journey, clinical evidence, behind-the-scenes), trackable links via Dub, follower → email subscriber → app install funnel measured. This is Alex's voice — the channel only works if he's the one writing. fCMO + Typefully scheduling makes the cadence sustainable.\\n\\n**Channel 4 — PR amplification.**\\nlongevity-influencer tailwind is real but underused on owned surfaces. Add a `/notable-users` or `/in-the-press` page. Pitch the peer-reviewed psychophysiology study to 5 outlets (wellness press: Well+Good, MindBodyGreen; tech-adjacent: Wired with the longevity-influencer hook; mainstream: Outside, Forbes Wellness). HARO/Help-A-B2B-Writer responses citing Quietude's data. Investor PR moments (\\\"Why I invested in Quietude\\\" Substack pieces from consumer-tech angels — push for these with backlinks).\\n\\n**Channel 5 — Event-to-app instrumentation.**\\nLive events are the highest-converting ICP exposure Quietude has (15K+ participants, decade of trust). They're un-instrumented. Add: per-event QR code → app install + email capture, post-event lifecycle (Customer.io Flow 7?), event ROI tracking. Goal: turn an event from a one-night conversion moment into a 30-day funnel.\\n\\n**Channel 6 — Eye mask wedge (consumer entry product).**\\n5K masks in stock. Shopify storefront exists but isn't optimized. Improvements: SEO-optimize the product page (target \\\"weighted sleep mask,\\\" \\\"blackout sleep mask,\\\" \\\"silk sleep mask\\\"), add reviews via Judge.me (per kickoff decision), 30-day return policy (US-market expectation, per kickoff), build the listicle (\\\"Quietude vs. Manta vs. Nodpod vs. Lumon\\\"). Consider Amazon listing as a v2 distribution play.\\n\\n**Channel 7 — B2B venue installs (kept lean per kickoff).**\\nAlex owns this. Marketing supports with: case studies after each install, `/partner` page rewrite in voice (already exists on quietude.app), Pillar 4 content (\\\"The Missing Sound Feature in WELL\\\"), reciprocal links from partner venues baked into contracts.\\n\\n**Channel 8 — Paid layer (unlocked post-seed close).**\\nHeld until seed funding lands. Initial test budget: $5–10K/mo split across Apple Search Ads (highest-intent for App Store), Meta (Instagram + Facebook for eye mask), LinkedIn (B2B venue buyers). Don't fire until: (a) onboarding bedrock fix is shipped, (b) Flow 6 is live, (c) at least one Pillar landing page is in voice. Paid amplifies what already works — premature paid amplifies what's broken.\\n\\n### 90-day acquisition moves\\n\\n- Weeks 1–2: Domain consolidation decision + 301 plan. App Store listing rewrite first pass.\\n- Weeks 3–4: Domain 301s executed. GSC migration. SEO Pillar 1 hub drafted.\\n- Weeks 5–8: Pillar 1 hub + 3 spokes published. Pillar 2 (Eye Mask) hub + listicle published. Alex's LinkedIn cadence operationalized via Typefully. peer-reviewed psychophysiology study lands on dedicated `/science` page.\\n- Weeks 9–12: Pillar 4 (WELL/B2B) cornerstone published. Sound Philosophy goes public at `/research/sound-philosophy`. First PR push: pitch study + longevity-influencer hook to 5 outlets.\\n\\n### 12-month acquisition outlook\\n\\n- Q1 (Months 1–3): Foundation. SEO pillars staked. App Store rewrite shipped. LinkedIn cadence stable. PR push launched.\\n- Q2 (Months 4–6, post-seed close): Paid acquisition pilot at $5–10K/mo. SEO compounding — Pillar 1 ranking. First B2B install reference case live.\\n- Q3 (Months 7–9): Paid scales to $20–30K/mo if unit economics hold. All four pillars producing. App GA — new GTM moment.\\n- Q4 (Months 10–12): Compound channels live. 50+ pieces of pillar content. First Quietude Guides program pilot creating local SEO + earned media.\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n\\n- **Skills:** `seo-audit`, `ai-seo`, `programmatic-seo`, `schema`, `content-strategy`, `competitors`, `launch`, `ads`, `ad-creative`, `social`, `typefully`, `analytics`, `copywriting`, `marketing-website-design`, `free-tools`\\n- **MCPs / APIs:** Ahrefs API, DataForSEO API, Typefully MCP (LinkedIn scheduling), GA4 MCP (when wired), GitHub MCP (`quietude-promo` repo work), Notion (knowledge directory), Stripe MCP (LTV / paid-CAC math), `agent-browser` (LinkedIn drafting + testing), `defuddle` (research)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 5. Activation\\n\\n> *\\\"Once someone tries Quietude, do they have an experience that converts?\\\"*\\n\\n### Current state\\n\\nDay 1 → paid: **1.34%**. Day 7 → paid: **3.73%**. Day 35 → paid: **5.46%**. *The funnel shape is the signal.* The ~4× lift over 35 days means the product converts given time and contact — both of which the current onboarding undermines and the lifecycle layer doesn't yet provide.\\n\\nCaveats: app is in throttled beta. Metrics are noisy. Don't optimize against absolutes; optimize against funnel *shape* and *cohort comparison*.\\n\\n### The plan\\n\\n**Move 1 — Kill the headphones hard-gate (bedrock fix, this week).**\\nConfirmed conversion drop after the gate shipped. The fix isn't better copy on the gate — it's removing the gate. Replace with passive headphone detection + soft single-line nudge. No regret change. Full reasoning in `onboarding-recommendation.md`.\\n\\n**Move 2 — Run the three-variant onboarding test.**\\nThree variants, each a pure expression of one belief about what drives activation in this ICP:\\n- **Variant 1 — Trust First.** Bold promise + clinical anchor + testimonial wall + 1-line mechanism. Tests whether the saturated ICP needs framing before they'll invest.\\n- **Variant 2 — Seen First.** Multi-step diagnostic → AI-generated \\\"we see you\\\" summary → personalized session. Tests whether being accurately named is the conversion event.\\n- **Variant 3 — Felt First.** Audio starts on app open. ~15 words on screen. The session IS the onboarding. Tests whether the product can carry it cold.\\n\\nTest sequence (sequential, ~7 weeks to a winner): bedrock baseline → V3 vs. baseline → winner vs. V1 → winner vs. V2. Full system in `onboarding-recommendation.md`.\\n\\n**Move 3 — App Store listing rewrite.**\\nHighest-leverage non-site asset. Rewrite in brand voice. Lead with meditation-vs-regulation. Screenshot variations to test. This is also an Acquisition move (organic discovery) but it lives here because it's the threshold to the trial.\\n\\n**Move 4 — Customer.io Flow 2 (held until UI stable).**\\nThe 8-email / 14-day onboarding sequence is drafted and on-brand. Holding the ship because the emails reference in-app screens that will change during the onboarding rebuild. Once a winning onboarding variant ships, Flow 2 gets a copy refresh against the final UI and goes live.\\n\\n**Move 5 — Paywall + pricing review (cross-cuts to Revenue).**\\nWhat's the current trial structure? Length, paywall trigger, intro pricing? When the funnel shape is \\\"lift over 35 days,\\\" extending trial may convert better than aggressively gating earlier. To be audited in Q1.\\n\\n### 90-day activation moves\\n\\n- Week 1: Headphones gate removed. Baseline established.\\n- Weeks 2–3: Variant 3 (Felt First) prototyped, instrumented, shipped to a test cohort.\\n- Weeks 4–5: Read Variant 3 vs. baseline. Decide ship/iterate. Begin Variant 1 build.\\n- Weeks 6–7: Variant 1 (Trust First) live.\\n- Weeks 8–9: Read V1 vs. winner. Begin Variant 2 build.\\n- Weeks 10–11: Variant 2 (Seen First) live.\\n- Week 12: Final read. Winning variant scheduled for permanent ship. Flow 2 unblocked.\\n\\n### 12-month activation outlook\\n\\n- Q1: Winning variant identified and shipped.\\n- Q2: Flow 2 ships. Paywall A/B tests start.\\n- Q3: GA launch — onboarding re-validated at higher traffic. Cohort segmentation by acquisition source (Shopify/eye-mask vs. direct vs. ambassador vs. paid) starts to drive variant forks.\\n- Q4: Onboarding is no longer the bottleneck. Focus moves to Activation → Retention transition (sessions 2–7).\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n\\n- **Skills:** `onboarding`, `signup`, `cro`, `cro`, `paywalls`, `popups`, `copywriting`, `copy-editing`, `copycraft`, `marketing-website-design`, `ab-testing`, `marketing-psychology`\\n- **MCPs / APIs:** App Store Connect (manual + `dev-browser` for screenshot automation), GitHub MCP (`quietude-app` app repo for onboarding code), Figma / Pencil MCP (for onboarding screen design), Customer.io MCP (for any in-app/email coordination), GA4 MCP (activation events)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 6. Retention\\n\\n> *\\\"Once someone converts, do they stay — and deepen?\\\"*\\n\\n### Current state\\n\\n**Headline metric (per seed deck): 38% 12-month retention** — nearly double the category average (~20%). This is the strongest single retention signal in the deck and one of the most undermarketed claims Quietude owns.\\n\\n**App Store snapshot, 2026-05-16:** 145 paid, 42 churned (~29% monthly churn). Definition mismatch with the 38% claim — to reconcile. Possibly: 38% is annual cohort retention (people who paid month 1 and still pay month 12), 29% is gross monthly churn (people who paid this month who didn't pay next month). Both can be true. Need to clarify which metric is reported externally and which is the actual product health signal.\\n\\n### The plan\\n\\n**Move 1 — Ship Flow 6 first (Eye Mask Post-Purchase).**\\nPer kickoff decision and the onboarding-recommendation doc: this is the ship-ready flow. Hardware-anchored, doesn't reference in-app screens, can ship today. Wires the hardware → app activation path (eye mask buyers should get a free 6-month Premium trial — formalize this as part of the flow).\\n\\n**Move 2 — Ship Flow 4 second (Lapsed User Re-engagement).**\\nFive emails over 38 days. Language is universal — doesn't depend on app UI state. Ship after Flow 6 is live.\\n\\n**Move 3 — Hold Flow 2 (Onboarding).**\\nEight emails over 14 days. Holds until app UI stabilizes post-onboarding-rebuild. Don't ship copy that will need rewriting in 8 weeks.\\n\\n**Move 4 — Customer.io subscription center with opt-in topics.**\\nPer kickoff decision. Topics: events, app updates, somatics & nervous system, eye mask promotions. Users self-segment. Improves deliverability (lower complaint rates) and gives lifecycle a richer segmentation surface.\\n\\n**Move 5 — Mira post-session reflection (when scoped).**\\nMost powerful retention move medium-term. After a session, Mira asks *\\\"What did you notice?\\\"* Optional preset chips + free text. Two payoffs: (a) gives Mira priors for personalization on session 2+, (b) reflection responses become a content + segmentation goldmine for the team. Scope question for Devon — does Mira currently support this, or is it new build?\\n\\n**Move 6 — Hardware → app activation flow.**\\nThe eye-mask-buyer-becomes-Premium-subscriber path is hinted in the seed deck (blended CAC via hardware) but isn't visible in the App Store dashboard. Audit the existing flow: does an eye mask Shopify purchase actually deliver a free Premium code? How is it redeemed? What's the conversion rate? This is foundational to the \\\"B2C wedge\\\" thesis.\\n\\n**Move 7 — Reconcile the retention metric.**\\nWhat's the actual definition of \\\"38% 12-month retention\\\"? Cohort? Plan type (monthly vs. annual)? Survives this even if the answer is uncomfortable — the team and investors need to be talking about the same metric.\\n\\n**Move 8 — Annual plan as default (cross-cuts to Revenue).**\\nIndustry pattern: defaulting to annual reduces churn anxiety and improves LTV. To test in Q2.\\n\\n### 90-day retention moves\\n\\n- Weeks 1–2: Flow 6 (eye mask post-purchase) ships. Address fixes from kickoff review (study link line break, CAN-SPAM footer, founder face-bubble signature, Judge.me reviews).\\n- Weeks 3–4: Flow 4 (lapsed user re-engagement) ships.\\n- Weeks 5–6: Customer.io subscription center built and live.\\n- Weeks 7–8: Hardware → app activation flow audited and documented. Fix any leaks.\\n- Weeks 9–10: Retention metric reconciliation (with Devon).\\n- Weeks 11–12: Win-back campaign for churned cohort — test re-activation copy.\\n\\n### 12-month retention outlook\\n\\n- Q1: Flows 6 + 4 firing. Subscription center live.\\n- Q2: Flow 2 ships (post-onboarding-rebuild). Mira post-session reflection in production. Annual plan default tested.\\n- Q3: GA launch — retention metrics re-baselined at higher volume. Cohort-based lifecycle flows (eye mask vs. direct app install).\\n- Q4: Full lifecycle compound. Retention is no longer a top-three concern — focus moves to Referral and Revenue.\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n\\n- **Skills:** `emails`, `churn-prevention`, `copywriting`, `copy-editing`, `paywalls`, `ab-testing`\\n- **MCPs / APIs:** **Customer.io MCP** (validated on kickoff — non-technical team can ship flows), Shopify (eye mask buyers as event source), Stripe MCP (subscription state, churn cohort pulls), GA4 MCP (session events, retention curves)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 7. Referral\\n\\n> *\\\"Do retained users bring more users — and at what cost?\\\"*\\n\\n### Current state\\n\\n~5 inbound ambassadors waiting (per kickoff). Dub.co set up. No formal program yet. WOM happens naturally per Alex's UA breakdown.\\n\\nThis is one of the strongest leading indicators in the business: 5 unaffiliated people have raised their hand asking to bring Quietude to their network *before any program exists*. That signal doesn't show up in apps with weaker product-market fit.\\n\\n### The plan\\n\\n**Move 1 — Launch the ambassador program with the 5 inbound.**\\nTier 1 of the program. Per-ambassador landing pages (e.g., `quietude.app/with/sarah`). Dub.co tracks attribution. Commission structure to determine (per kickoff, $/sub or rev-share TBD). Soft-launch with the 5 — treat as pilot cohort, gather feedback, refine before opening applications.\\n\\n**Move 2 — Build the share-after-shift moment.**\\nThe Mira post-session reflection (see Retention) is the natural moment to surface a share prompt. After a user reports a felt shift, offer: *\\\"Want to share Quietude with someone who needs this?\\\"* Single-line, never pushy. Most powerful WOM mechanism: gift-a-month flow where the recipient gets a discounted or free intro.\\n\\n**Move 3 — Founder amplification (Alex + Sam as ambassador-zero).**\\nAlex mentioning the fCMO engagement in fundraise pitches (permission granted). Reciprocal mentions in fCMO-side content. Sam's clinical network → practitioner ambassador pool.\\n\\n**Move 4 — Quietude Guides cert pilot (long-term, Q3+).**\\nThe Guides program is the Phase-2 referral compound (per seed deck). 500–1,000 Guides across 50+ cities by Y3–5. First cert pilot: 3–5 hosts who run live sessions, get a rev-share + co-marketing. Builds local SEO + earned media + ambassador-of-ambassadors flywheel. Hold until paid + lifecycle are firing — Guides is a multi-quarter build.\\n\\n**Move 5 — Eye mask gifting flow.**\\nHardware referral is rare and powerful. *\\\"Send a friend an Quietude eye mask. They get the mask + a free 3-month Premium. You get a credit toward your next thing.\\\"* Holiday/gifting peak windows are the test.\\n\\n### 90-day referral moves\\n\\n- Weeks 1–4: Ambassador program scoped, commission structure decided, per-ambassador landing page template built, 5 inbound onboarded.\\n- Weeks 5–8: First ambassador-driven sales tracked via Dub. Attribution and payout flow validated.\\n- Weeks 9–12: Open applications for next 10–15 ambassadors. Begin Quietude Guides scoping.\\n\\n### 12-month referral outlook\\n\\n- Q1: Ambassador program live with 5–10 active.\\n- Q2: 15–25 active ambassadors. Share-after-shift moment in production (post-Mira reflection).\\n- Q3: Guides cert pilot launched (3–5 hosts). Eye mask gifting flow live for holiday peak.\\n- Q4: 50+ ambassadors + 5–10 Guides. Referral driving 15–25% of new D2C subs.\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n\\n- **Skills:** `referrals`, `social`, `copywriting`, `marketing-website-design` (per-ambassador landing pages)\\n- **MCPs / APIs:** Dub.co (attribution — already in stack), Stripe MCP (commission accounting + payouts), GitHub MCP (landing page deployment in `quietude-promo` or new `quietude-ambassadors` repo), Customer.io MCP (ambassador lifecycle: onboarding, monthly performance digest, payout notification)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 8. Revenue\\n\\n> *\\\"What do we charge, who pays, and how does that compound?\\\"*\\n\\n### Current state\\n\\n| Product | Price | Volume signal |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Quietude App + Mira | ~$30/mo | 145 paid subs (App Store snapshot 2026-05-16) |\\n| Quietude Eye Mask | ~$45 | 5K in stock, longevity-influencer PR-driven sales |\\n| Quietude Audio (speakers) | ~$7,500 | Niche, founder-led |\\n| Quietude Spaces (B2B install) | $50–200K | Aurora flagship in-flight (~€250K), pipeline of 4 venues |\\n| Quietude Experiences (events) | Varies | 15K+ historical participants |\\n| Quietude Guides | Rev share | Not yet operational |\\n\\n**Revenue to date: ~$500K on ~$250K raised.** Capital-efficient. Hardware + B2B + app subs all contributing.\\n\\n**MRR (App Store snapshot): $592.** Beta-throttled, not steady-state. The implied ~$4/sub/mo against $30/mo list suggests heavy annual plan adoption (which compresses monthly revenue but improves LTV) or significant promotional pricing — to reconcile with Alex.\\n\\n### The plan\\n\\n**Move 1 — Pricing audit.**\\nWhat's actually being charged today? List price, common plan mix, intro pricing, churn-recovery offers? The $4/sub/mo implied math doesn't tell a clean story — need ground truth before recommending changes.\\n\\n**Move 2 — Annual plan as default (test).**\\nIndustry pattern, cross-references to Retention. Test in Q2.\\n\\n**Move 3 — Hardware → app bundling formalized.**\\nPer partner-event-business framing in the seed deck: blended CAC via hardware → app subscription is the play. Today an eye mask buyer gets... what, exactly? Free Premium? Trial code? Audit + formalize. The eye mask is the wedge; the app is the LTV.\\n\\n**Move 4 — Eye mask Shopify storefront optimization.**\\nThe current page underperforms what it could. Add: SEO targeting (\\\"weighted sleep mask,\\\" \\\"blackout sleep mask\\\"), Judge.me reviews (kickoff decision), 30-day return policy (kickoff decision), upsell flow into Premium app.\\n\\n**Move 5 — Consider Amazon listing for eye mask.**\\nAmazon takes margin but is its own discovery engine. Test as v2 distribution if Shopify volume validates.\\n\\n**Move 6 — B2B install case studies + sales material.**\\nAlex owns B2B sales but marketing supports with: post-install case studies (Aurora as the flagship), `/partner` page rewrite in voice, Pillar 4 SEO content. Each B2B install is a ~$430K/year recurring + reference-case multiplier.\\n\\n**Move 7 — Data licensing (long-term, flag for ops stack).**\\nPer seed deck Y10–15 value pool: $100–160M/yr. Not immediate revenue. Belongs in the 24-month strategic agenda. Flag here so we don't lose sight.\\n\\n### 90-day revenue moves\\n\\n- Weeks 1–2: Pricing audit. Reconcile implied vs. listed MRR.\\n- Weeks 3–4: Hardware → app activation flow audited (also Retention move 6).\\n- Weeks 5–8: Eye mask Shopify page rewrite + SEO optimization + Judge.me + return policy. Aurora case study scaffolded for post-install.\\n- Weeks 9–12: Annual plan default test scoped.\\n\\n### 12-month revenue outlook\\n\\n- Q1: Pricing audit closes. Hardware → app activation formalized.\\n- Q2: Annual plan default test live. Eye mask Shopify producing measurable lift.\\n- Q3: B2B install case studies (1–2) published.

Marketing operations stack\\n\\nThis is what makes the plan executable at Quietude's team size. A 4-person founder team + fCMO + agentic tooling can ship the output of a 15–20-person traditional marketing org — because the marketing skill library and MCP integrations do the orchestration.\\n\\n### The thesis\\n\\nEvery move in the AARRR breakdown above maps to (a) one or more marketing skills that operationalize the work, and (b) one or more MCP/API integrations that let it execute without a dedicated headcount per channel.\\n\\nThe fCMO's job is to:\\n1. Define the strategy and sequencing (this doc)\\n2. Run the skills against the right context at the right time\\n3. Maintain the shared context (`quietude-context`) and tooling so Alex + Sam + future hires can plug in\\n4. Hand off operational work to humans (or future hires) only where the cost of agentic execution > human execution\\n\\n### Skills mapped to AARRR stages\\n\\n| Stage | Primary skills | Supporting skills |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| **Acquisition** | `seo-audit`, `ai-seo`, `programmatic-seo`, `schema`, `content-strategy`, `competitors`, `ads`, `ad-creative`, `social`, `typefully` | `launch`, `free-tools`, `analytics`, `cold-email`, `copywriting`, `marketing-website-design` |\\n| **Activation** | `onboarding`, `signup`, `paywalls`, `cro`, `copywriting`, `copy-editing`, `copycraft` | `marketing-website-design`, `ab-testing`, `marketing-psychology`, `cro`, `popups` |\\n| **Retention** | `emails`, `churn-prevention` | `copywriting`, `copy-editing`, `ab-testing`, `paywalls` |\\n| **Referral** | `referrals`, `social` | `copywriting`, `marketing-website-design`, `emails` |\\n| **Revenue** | `pricing`, `paywalls`, `sales-enablement`, `revops` | `ab-testing`, `copywriting` |\\n| **Cross-cutting** (brand, intelligence) | `product-marketing`, `customer-research`, `marketing-psychology` | `marketing-ideas`, `diagram-maker` |\\n\\n### MCPs / APIs mapped to stages\\n\\n| Stage | Existing connections at Quietude | Tooling layer (Casey's fCMO stack) |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| **Acquisition** | App Store Connect (manual), Shopify, GA4 (in progress), Notion | Ahrefs API, DataForSEO API, Typefully MCP, GitHub MCP (`quietude-promo`), `agent-browser`, `defuddle` |\\n| **Activation** | App Store Connect, Customer.io, Shopify | App Store Connect (via `dev-browser` for screenshot automation), Figma / Pencil MCP, GitHub MCP (`quietude-app` app repo), Stripe MCP |\\n| **Retention** | **Customer.io (with Claude MCP — validated on kickoff)**, Stripe, Shopify | Customer.io MCP, Stripe MCP, GA4 MCP |\\n| **Referral** | Dub.co, Stripe | Dub.co, Stripe MCP, GitHub MCP (per-ambassador landing pages), Customer.io MCP |\\n| **Revenue** | Stripe, Shopify, Customer.io | Stripe MCP, Shopify, GA4 MCP, Notion |\\n| **Cross-cutting** | Notion, GitHub (`quietude-context`) | Notion, GitHub MCP, `defuddle`, `obsidian-cli` (for Casey's working notes) |\\n\\n### The Customer.io MCP unlock (concrete example)\\n\\nPer kickoff call: *\\\"Built live on call — abandoned-cart flow drafted using Customer.io's Claude MCP. Validated that non-technical team can use the skill pattern independently.\\\"*\\n\\nThis is the operational proof that the stack works. Alex, who is not a developer, drafted a working lifecycle flow with Claude + Customer.io MCP in real time on a kickoff call. The same pattern applies to: Flow 4 ship (lapsed user re-engagement), subscription center build, win-back campaign, eye mask gifting flow, ambassador lifecycle. The fCMO's role becomes orchestration + brand-voice QA, not hand-cranking each email.\\n\\n### Capability unlocks by funding stage\\n\\n| Stage | Headcount | Tooling | Channels live |\\n|---|---|---|---|\\n| **Pre-seed-close (now)** | fCMO + founder team | All current tooling + Casey's marketing skill library + MCP layer | Organic only (SEO, content, App Store, LinkedIn, events, WOM, ambassador) |\\n| **Seed close (~Q3 2026)** | + first marketing hire (lifecycle/content) by end of Q3 | + paid ad accounts (Apple Search Ads, Meta, LinkedIn) | + paid acquisition pilot $5–10K/mo |\\n| **Seed deployment (Q3–Q4 2026)** | + designer (potentially fractional) | + analytics expansion (Mixpanel or Amplitude if needed) | + paid scaling $20–50K/mo, + Guides cert pilot |\\n| **Series A (2027)** | + performance marketing lead + content lead | + dedicated tooling spend (~$2–5K/mo software) | + paid scaling $50–150K/mo, + international, + B2B vertical expansion |\\n\\nThe marketing skill library scales these stages. Every channel added doesn't require a 1:1 headcount increase because each skill encodes the workflow.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## 12. Tactical idea bank — 139-idea cross-reference\\n\\nThe `marketing-ideas` skill catalogs 139 proven marketing tactics. Sections 4–8 (AARRR) prescribe what we're *doing*. This section maps the full universe of what's *possible* — every idea cross-referenced to the AARRR stage it primarily serves, with Quietude applicability and timing.\\n\\nThis is the exhaustive menu. The plan above is the curated path.

This doc is the primer + the decision rules for when each stage gets prioritized.\\n\\n## The five stages\\n\\n| Stage | Question | Common metrics |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| **A**cquisition | How do strangers become aware of us? | Visits, MQLs, signup-page sessions, app-store visits, CAC by channel |\\n| **A**ctivation | Once they try us, do they have an experience that converts? | Signup completion rate, time-to-value, % completing first key action, trial → paid rate |\\n| **R**etention | Do they stay and deepen? | DAU/WAU/MAU, week-1/4/12 retention, churn |\\n| **R**eferral | Do retained users bring more users? | Viral coefficient, NPS, ambassador attribution |\\n| **R**evenue | What do they pay, who pays, how does it compound? | ARPU, LTV, expansion revenue, ARR / MRR |\\n\\n> **Signup boundary rule.** Signup *intent* (a stranger landing on the signup page) is Acquisition. Signup *completion* and everything after (first key action, trial-to-paid) is Activation. Apply this rule consistently across all docs and the plan template.\\n\\n## Why AARRR for plan sequencing\\n\\nThree reasons.\\n\\n**1. Funnel-stage tagging forces prioritization.** Without AARRR, marketing plans become channel-organized (\\\"here's the SEO plan, here's the social plan, here's the paid plan\\\"). Channels can address multiple stages; tagging by stage instead asks the more useful question: *what stage of the funnel is the binding constraint right now?*\\n\\n**2. Fix the leak before pouring water in.** The Activation/Retention question (\\\"does the funnel convert at acceptable rates given exposure?\\\") is usually higher leverage than the Acquisition question (\\\"how do we get more exposure?\\\"). AARRR sequencing surfaces this naturally.\\n\\n**3. The Revenue / Referral conversation is honest.** Most marketing plans bury monetization under \\\"growth\\\" and treat referral as wishful thinking. AARRR forces explicit treatment of both.\\n\\n## Brand and content — not a stage, cross-cutting\\n\\nA common mistake: making \\\"Brand\\\" or \\\"Content\\\" the sixth bucket. They're not — they serve every stage.\\n\\n- **Brand voice** governs every piece of copy across every stage\\n- **Content** feeds Acquisition (SEO, social), Activation (onboarding copy), Retention (email lifecycle), Referral (ambassador talking points), Revenue (pricing pages, sales material)\\n\\nIn the plan, brand/content shows up as the strategic frame (Section 2) and cross-cutting in Section 11's ops stack — never as its own AARRR section.\\n\\n## Diagnosing the binding constraint — which AARRR stage is highest leverage?\\n\\nFor every client, one or two AARRR stages will be the binding constraint. The plan sequences moves there first.\\n\\n**Decision rules:**\\n\\n### If you don't have any users → start with Acquisition\\n- Pre-launch / day-0 / waitlist stage\\n- No funnel data exists\\n- Leverage = building the first 100 users\\n\\n### If you have users but they bounce → start with Activation\\n- Signups happen but activation rate is low\\n- App Store conversion is poor\\n- Onboarding completion is broken\\n- Day 1 → paid rate is much lower than Day 30 → paid (means product converts given time but onboarding doesn't bridge to it)\\n- Leverage = bridging signup to first felt value\\n\\n### If activation works but users churn → start with Retention\\n- Month 1 retention is below category norms\\n- Activated users stop using within 7–14 days\\n- LTV is short\\n- Leverage = lifecycle, deepening engagement, churn prevention\\n\\n### If retention is strong but growth is slow → start with Referral / Revenue\\n- Retained users love the product but don't share\\n- Inbound referrals come in unstructured\\n- Pricing hasn't been pressure-tested\\n- ARPU is low for the value delivered\\n- Leverage = WOM mechanics + pricing optimization (these often cluster)\\n\\n### If everything works at small scale → start with Acquisition (scaling)\\n- Funnel is healthy\\n- Question is just \\\"more\\\"\\n- This is the \\\"post-fit\\\" scaling problem\\n\\n## Stage-by-stage strategic patterns\\n\\n### Acquisition\\n\\n**The diagnostic question:** Where is the gap between TAM-level awareness and current funnel volume? What channels are saturated by competitors vs. open?\\n\\n**Common Acquisition moves:**\\n- SEO content strategy (organic compounding)\\n- Founder-led channels (LinkedIn, X, Substack for B2B; Instagram/TikTok for D2C)\\n- Paid acquisition (when budget unlocks)\\n- App Store / Play Store / marketplace listing optimization\\n- PR and credibility-anchor amplification\\n- Events (live, webinar, conference speaking)\\n- Partnerships (newsletter swaps, integration co-marketing, reseller / agency partners)\\n- Hardware / commerce surface (Shopify SEO + Amazon for hybrid businesses)\\n- B2B sales support (case studies, partner pages, vertical content)\\n\\n**Sequencing principle:** Build the organic compound first (SEO + founder-led + content + PR amplification + ambassadors). Only layer paid on top of a working organic baseline. Premature paid amplifies what's broken.\\n\\n### Activation\\n\\n**The diagnostic question:** Where in the user's first session do they decide \\\"this works for me\\\" or \\\"this doesn't\\\"? What stops them from reaching that moment?\\n\\n**Common Activation moves:**\\n- Bedrock fixes (broken gates, broken signup steps, broken paywall)\\n- Onboarding tests / rebuild (often the most leveraged single move)\\n- App Store listing rewrite (the threshold to the trial)\\n- Lifecycle Flow ship order (when to ship onboarding emails)\\n- Paywall structure + trial length\\n- Free → paid bridge (in-app upsells, soft paywalls)\\n\\n**Sequencing principle:** Get to first felt value as fast as possible. Everything that adds friction between \\\"user opens app\\\" and \\\"user has the experience that converts them\\\" is a candidate to cut.\\n\\n### Retention\\n\\n**The diagnostic question:** Why do users churn? What would have made them stay? What's the \\\"second moment of value\\\" after the first one?\\n\\n**Common Retention moves:**\\n- Lifecycle email flows: onboarding, lapsed user re-engagement, post-purchase, win-back\\n- Subscription / preference centers\\n- Churn reconciliation (often metric definitions don't match across surfaces)\\n- Hardware → software activation paths (for hybrid businesses)\\n- Annual plan defaults / pricing structure (cross-cuts Revenue)\\n- Support as marketing (high-touch moments that drive stories)\\n- Community + practitioner networks\\n\\n**Sequencing principle:** Ship lifecycle flows in the order their content is most stable. Hardware post-purchase flows ship first (they don't reference in-app screens that might change). Onboarding emails ship last (they reference UI that might change). Win-back is a quarterly campaign, not a one-time flow.\\n\\n### Referral\\n\\n**The diagnostic question:** Is there inbound referral interest that isn't being captured? What's the share-after-value moment that's natural to the product?\\n\\n**Common Referral moves:**\\n- Ambassador / affiliate program (start with inbound interest, not cold recruitment)\\n- Share-after-value moments built into the product (reflection prompts, milestone celebrations)\\n- Founder amplification (founder as referrer-zero)\\n- Long-game expert / Guides / certified-host networks (for category-creating businesses)\\n- Gifting flows (consumer / hardware)\\n- Two-sided referrals (reward both referrer and referred)\\n\\n**Sequencing principle:** Lead with whoever is already raising their hand. If there are 5 inbound ambassadors, launch with those 5 — don't wait for a \\\"complete program.\\\" Iterate based on what they tell you.\\n\\n### Revenue\\n\\n**The diagnostic question:** Is the company underpricing? Underpackaging? Missing an upsell? What's the \\\"right\\\" price discipline given LTV and brand voice?\\n\\n**Common Revenue moves:**\\n- Pricing audit (what's actually charged today vs. listed?)\\n- Annual plan defaults\\n- Hardware → software bundling formalization\\n- Storefront / commerce page optimization\\n- B2B case studies + sales material\\n- Long-term value pool flags (data, expansion, enterprise) — flagged not executed\\n\\n**Sequencing principle:** Run the pricing audit before testing changes. Surprisingly often, the \\\"implied\\\" pricing on the dashboard doesn't match the listed price — discounts, trials, or plan mix distorts the read. Surface the ground truth first.\\n\\n## How to assign a move to a stage\\n\\nSome moves clearly belong to one stage. Others span. The rule:\\n\\n**Assign to the stage where the move's primary measurable impact lands.**\\n\\nExamples:\\n- \\\"Rewrite App Store listing in voice\\\" — spans Acquisition (organic discovery) and Activation (threshold to trial). Primary impact = Activation (trial conversion rate). Assign to Activation, mention crossover.\\n- \\\"Eye mask Shopify page rewrite\\\" — spans Acquisition (organic search for sleep mask) and Revenue (sale conversion). Primary impact = Revenue (transaction). Assign to Revenue, mention crossover.\\n- \\\"Alex's LinkedIn cadence\\\" — Acquisition (top of funnel for D2C subscribers).\\n- \\\"Customer.io Flow 6 (eye mask post-purchase)\\\" — Retention (deepens hardware buyer engagement) with crossover to Activation (hardware → app premium activation path).\\n\\nWhen in doubt: where would removing this move hurt the most? Assign there.\\n\\n## When the AARRR breakdown isn't equal\\n\\nFor most clients, the plan won't have equal volume across stages. That's fine — and worth surfacing as a diagnostic.\\n\\n- **Heavy Acquisition section** = client has product-market fit but top-of-funnel is the bottleneck. Common for early-stage with strong retention metrics.\\n- **Heavy Activation section** = client has traffic but conversion is broken. Often beta-stage products.\\n- **Heavy Retention section** = client has churn problem. Often mid-stage products that scaled past PMF without lifecycle infrastructure.\\n- **Heavy Referral section** = client has loyalty but no WOM mechanics. Often consumer products with passionate users.\\n- **Heavy Revenue section** = client is underpricing or missing monetization layers. Common for tools transitioning from free to paid.\\n\\nIf a plan ends up evenly distributed across all five stages, the diagnostic was probably weak — re-examine the funnel state intake to find where the binding constraint is.\\n\\n## A note on the order of presentation\\n\\nAlways present AARRR in order (Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Referral → Revenue) regardless of priority order.\\n\\nThis is for the reader's mental model. Founders expect the funnel to flow top-to-bottom. If Retention is the most-leveraged stage but you lead with Retention, the reader has to context-switch.\\n\\nTo signal priority, use the executive summary (Section 1) — name the biggest bets there. The AARRR breakdown then walks the funnel in order, with the most leverage-positive section being the longest and most-detailed.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"budget-planning\",\"body\":\"# Budget Planning — Scientific Methods for Setting the Marketing Budget\\n\\nThe problem with most SaaS marketing budgets is that they're pulled out of thin air — a number that hopefully doesn't constrain growth too much, but doesn't anchor in customer-acquisition economics either. The result: when someone asks \\\"why this number?\\\" there's no answer.\\n\\nTwo scientific methods solve this. Use one (not both) in Section 8 (Revenue) and Section 10 (12-month outlook) of every plan.\\n\\nExcerpted and adapted from *Founding Marketing* by Corey Haines.\\n\\n## Method 1 — Revenue-Based (5–40% of annual revenue)\\n\\n**Direction:** budget → revenue goal.\\n\\nYou start with what the company can comfortably spend on marketing, then forecast what revenue that spend can plausibly generate.\\n\\n### The ranges\\n\\n| Posture | % of ARR | When to use |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| **Conservative (profit-preserving)** | 5% | Established business focused on profit distribution; bootstrapped; founder-paid customer base |\\n| **Standard growth** | 15–25% | Most healthy SaaS in the seed-to-Series-A range |\\n| **Aggressive growth (deploying raised capital)** | up to 40% | Recently funded round, mandate to deploy fast, board accepts burn |\\n\\nFor reference: public SaaS companies routinely report sales-and-marketing spend between 20% and 55% of revenue (Zoom historically ran between 20% and 55% across years).\\n\\n### The math (Conservative example)\\n\\nBusiness at $1M ARR, 5% allocation:\\n\\n- Annual marketing budget: **$50,000**\\n- Blended CAC: $100 → can acquire **500 new customers**\\n- ARPC: $50/mo → adds **$300K** to ARR\\n- Account for 15% annual churn → 85% × $300K = **+$255K net new ARR**\\n- End-of-year goal: **$1.255M ARR**\\n\\n### The math (Aggressive example)\\n\\nBusiness at $1M ARR, 40% allocation:\\n\\n- Annual marketing budget: **$400,000**\\n- Blended CAC: $100 → can acquire **4,000 new customers**\\n- ARPC: $50/mo → adds **$2.4M** to ARR\\n- End-of-year goal: **$3.4M ARR**\\n\\n### Two keys to making this method work\\n\\n1. **Know your blended CAC** (see \\\"Calculating CAC\\\" below)\\n2. **Match the allocation percentage to your actual ambition.** A founder running 5% allocation while telling the board they expect to triple revenue is showing two incompatible signals.\\n\\n## Method 2 — Goal-Based (reverse-engineered from the revenue target)\\n\\n**Direction:** revenue goal → budget.\\n\\nYou start with the revenue goal and work backward through the unit economics to derive the budget required to hit it. Best for:\\n\\n- Companies just starting up (no historical CAC baseline yet, working from first principles)\\n- Companies anticipating outside capital (need to defend the ask)\\n- Companies using revenue-based financing (Pipe, Capchase, Founderpath)\\n\\n### The formula\\n\\n```\\nMarketing budget = [(New ARR / (ARPC × 12)) × CAC] / annual retention rate\\n```\\n\\n### Worked example: $1M ARR → $2M ARR\\n\\nStep 1 — How much new ARR per customer?\\nARPC × 12 = $50 × 12 = **$600 ARR per new customer**\\n\\nStep 2 — How many new customers do we need?\\n$1,000,000 / $600 = **1,667 new customers**\\n\\nStep 3 — What's the raw acquisition cost?\\n1,667 × $100 CAC = **$166,700**\\n\\nStep 4 — Account for churn (15% annual = 85% retention)\\n$166,700 / 0.85 = **$196,118** (round to **$200K**)\\n\\nWhen someone asks how you got to the budget, walk them through the four steps. It's defensible.\\n\\n### Why this formula and not something simpler\\n\\nThe four steps each correspond to a real economic reality:\\n- Step 1 converts MRR-language into the ARR-language a board talks in\\n- Step 2 names the customer count, which is what the funnel actually has to deliver\\n- Step 3 anchors the budget in the cost of acquisition\\n- Step 4 acknowledges that churned customers don't count toward net new ARR, so the budget needs to cover the gap\\n\\n### Required buffer\\n\\n**Always add 10–20% as \\\"experimental budget\\\"** on top of the formula output. CAC is the main dependency; if CAC comes in 50% higher than estimated, the cascading effect is missing the revenue goal. It is much cheaper to overestimate CAC than to underestimate it.\\n\\nThe experimental budget also funds the experiments that find your next channel before your current one plateaus (see `growth-patterns.md` — channel S-curves).\\n\\n## The VC growth path (3-3-2-2-2 rule)\\n\\nOnce a company has crossed $1M ARR and taken a Series A, the implicit benchmark VCs expect is:\\n\\n| Year | ARR multiple | Cumulative ARR (from $1M start) |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Year 0 | — | $1M |\\n| Year +1 | 3× | $3M |\\n| Year +2 | 3× | $9M |\\n| Year +3 | 2× | $18M |\\n| Year +4 | 2× | $36M |\\n| Year +5 | 2× | $72M |\\n| Year +6 | 2× | $144M |\\n| Year +7 | 2× | $288M |\\n\\nThat's the 3-3-2-2-2 rule. Useful when:\\n\\n- The plan needs to map 12-month and 36-month milestones to VC expectations\\n- The founder is mid-raise and the board needs to see a plausible path to the next round\\n- Section 10 (12-month outlook) needs anchoring against an industry benchmark, not just internal ambition\\n\\nMost companies miss it. That's fine. Knowing the benchmark gives the team a defensible reason to either match it or explicitly choose not to.\\n\\n## Calculating CAC (blended, not paid-only)\\n\\nIf there's no historical CAC, use a baseline: **one year of revenue from the smallest paid plan.** Deploy the budget, capture actual CAC data, replace the baseline with the measured number for the next planning cycle.\\n\\nFor an established CAC calculation, **CAC must be blended.** Include:\\n\\n- Marketing salaries (full loaded cost, not just base)\\n- Advertising spend\\n- Marketing tech stack costs\\n- Content production costs (writers, designers, video editors)\\n- Agency / contractor retainers\\n- SDR / BDR salaries if doing outbound\\n- Tools (CRM, marketing automation, analytics)\\n\\nThen divide by the number of new customers acquired in the period. That blended number is the one to use in either budgeting method.\\n\\nThe mistake to avoid: calculating CAC from paid ad spend alone. A company that \\\"doesn't run ads\\\" still has a CAC — it's just hidden in the content team, the founder's time, the SEO contractor, the conference booth.\\n\\n## The reality check on forecasting\\n\\nThis whole framework derives a budget and a revenue goal — not a 12-month month-by-month forecast accurate to the dollar.\\n\\n**Unless the company is publicly traded, all forecasts are educated guesses.** No startup under $100M ARR reliably hits forecasts to the month. The honest framing for the plan:\\n\\n- The annual goal is a defensible direction-of-travel\\n- The budget is the resource commitment that makes the goal plausible\\n- The 90-day roadmap (Section 9) is what's actionable now\\n- Month-to-month variance is expected; quarterly review is when the plan adjusts\\n\\nWhat's actionable: how to deploy the budget, what concrete moves to execute, what to adjust when real data comes in.\\n\\nWhat's not actionable: trying to forecast traffic, pipeline, retention curves, conversion rates, and channel mix all down to the decimal point and expecting that forecast to hold. Founders who over-engineer the forecast tend to spend the plan period explaining variance instead of executing.\\n\\n**Rule for the plan:** the budget number is honest. The annual goal is honest. The month-by-month projection is illustrative.\\n\\n## How this flows into the plan\\n\\n| Section | What to include |\\n|---|---|\\n| **3 (Current state)** | Current monthly marketing spend broken down by line (paid, tools, content, headcount, retainers). Compute current %-of-ARR allocation. |\\n| **8 (Revenue)** | The unit-economics table (CAC, ARPC, churn) that feeds whichever budget method you're using. |\\n| **10 (12-month outlook)** | Apply Method 1 or Method 2 to derive the 12-month budget and the resulting revenue goal. Anchor against the 3-3-2-2-2 rule if Series A+ and VC-backed. |\\n| **11 (Ops stack)** | Show the budget allocation across the AARRR stages — what % to Acquisition, Activation, etc. The ops-stack mapping informs which line items grow when the next funding tier unlocks. |\\n| **13 (Open decisions)** | If CAC is unknown or contested, flag it as the highest-impact open decision — every other number depends on it. |\\n\\n## When to choose which method\\n\\n- **Method 1 (Revenue-Based)** when the company has historical CAC data, a profit/burn posture, and the question is \\\"given our posture, what's a plausible goal.\\\"\\n- **Method 2 (Goal-Based)** when the company has a specific goal (board mandate, VC milestone, fundraise target) and the question is \\\"what budget do we need to hit it.\\\"\\n\\nFor most plans in the seed-to-Series-A range, Method 2 is more useful — it forces the conversation about whether the goal is funded.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"client-types\",\"body\":\"# Client Types — Variations by Business Model\\n\\nThe 13-section plan structure stays consistent across client types.

to use this doc when drafting a plan\\n\\nWhen you start drafting Sections 4–8 (AARRR), identify the client's archetype (or hybrid if applicable) and lean into the patterns above.\\n\\n**Hybrid cases are common.** Quietude is \\\"Hybrid hardware + software\\\" with significant overlap to \\\"Deep-tech / scientific / clinical\\\" (because of the peer-reviewed study + clinical positioning). The plan blends emphases from both archetypes.\\n\\nWhen in doubt, lead with the archetype that best fits the *primary monetization model*. Quietude's primary monetization is software subscription (with hardware as the wedge), so the D2C consumer app + hardware-hybrid patterns dominate, with deep-tech credibility moves layered in.\\n\\n## When the client doesn't fit cleanly\\n\\nSome clients defy archetype:\\n- **Content / media businesses** — neither SaaS nor commerce; ad revenue or subscription model\\n- **Social networks** — own category, network effects dominate\\n- **Real estate / events** — physical + service model\\n\\nFor these, identify the closest archetype and adjust. Don't force-fit — name the deviation in the plan's Strategic Frame.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"current-state-rubric\",\"body\":\"# Current State Rubric — 17-Section Scoring Lens\\n\\nThis 17-section rubric is the source of truth for Section 3 (\\\"Current State\\\") of every marketing plan. Score each section 0–5 from available materials, then write a 2–4 sentence \\\"shape interpretation\\\" that names where strengths and gaps cluster.\\n\\n## How to score\\n\\n**From rich materials.** When the team has shared decks, prior content audits, a brand voice doc, kickoff transcript, app store and analytics snapshots — score each section from those artifacts. Mark \\\"scored from materials\\\" in the section heading so the team can push back where they have better data.\\n\\n**From a separately scored audit.** If the team has already run a scored current-state assessment (in any format), ingest those scores directly. Don't redo the work — note the date the rubric was scored and flag any sections where material has shifted since.\\n\\nEither way, the output is the same: a 17-row scored table, a total out of 85, and a shape paragraph.\\n\\n## The 17 sections (scored 0–5 each)\\n\\n### 1. Positioning\\n**What's scored:** Clarity of category claim, differentiation, alignment across surfaces (homepage, app store, pitch deck, founder messaging).\\n\\n**Score guide:**\\n- 0 = No positioning anywhere\\n- 2 = Inconsistent across surfaces; team can't articulate it on demand\\n- 4 = Clear, original, mostly consistent; minor surface gaps\\n- 5 = Distinctive, category-defining, every surface aligned\\n\\n**Maps to AARRR:** Cross-cutting — feeds every stage.\\n\\n### 2.

Resources / content\\n**What's scored:** Blog, knowledge base, science page, whitepapers, research, founder essays, podcast.\\n\\n**Score guide:**\\n- 0 = No content surface\\n- 2 = Blog exists but is stale or thin\\n- 4 = Active content production; multiple formats\\n- 5 = Content is a moat — proprietary research, named pillars, daily volume\\n\\n**Maps to AARRR:** Acquisition.\\n\\n### 8.

CRO (conversion rate optimization)\\n**What's scored:** Test cadence, instrumentation, A/B history, statistical rigor.\\n\\n**Score guide:**\\n- 0 = No tests run; no instrumentation\\n- 2 = Some ad-hoc tests; no statistical rigor\\n- 4 = Regular test cadence; some wins\\n- 5 = Continuous testing program; experimentation culture; documented wins\\n\\n**Maps to AARRR:** Cross-cutting (most impactful at Activation + Revenue).\\n\\n### 14.

SEO\\n**What's scored:** Organic search performance. Domain rating, ranking keywords, organic traffic, content cluster strategy.\\n\\n**Score guide:**\\n- 0 = No SEO; new domain or zero-authority\\n- 2 = Some content but no strategy; ranks for brand only\\n- 4 = Established content clusters; growing organic traffic; DR 25+\\n- 5 = SEO is a moat; DR 40+; thousand+ ranking keywords; consistent content production\\n\\n**Maps to AARRR:** Acquisition.\\n\\n### 17.

Don't penalize early-stage companies for not having international playbooks yet.\\n\\n## How to compute the total + read the shape\\n\\n**Total = sum of all 17 scores. Out of 85.**\\n\\nThe total matters less than the *shape*. After the scoring table, write a 2–4 sentence \\\"shape interpretation\\\":\\n\\n> *\\\"High in {strong sections}, low in {weak sections}. That shape is the gap the rest of the plan closes — Sections X (AARRR stage) is the longest because that's where the gap is widest.\\\"*\\n\\n## Common shapes\\n\\n### \\\"Strong voice / messaging, weak distribution\\\"\\n- High: Positioning (#1), Customer research (#2), Messaging (#11)\\n- Low: SEO (#16), Ads (#15), GTM launches (#14)\\n- Translation: The founder is a strong storyteller but distribution hasn't caught up. Plan emphasizes Acquisition + paid layer prep.\\n\\n### \\\"Strong acquisition, weak conversion\\\"\\n- High: SEO (#16), Resources (#7), Ads (#15)\\n- Low: Homepage (#3), Onboarding (#8), Conversion pages (#5), Pricing (#12)\\n- Translation: Traffic comes in but doesn't convert. Plan emphasizes Activation + Revenue.\\n\\n### \\\"Strong conversion, weak retention\\\"\\n- High: Onboarding (#8), Homepage (#3), Pricing (#12)\\n- Low: Email lifecycle (#9), CRO (#13)\\n- Translation: Users sign up and pay but churn. Plan emphasizes Retention.\\n\\n### \\\"Strong product, weak everything-else\\\"\\n- High: only Positioning (#1) and Customer research (#2) — the founder knows the customer\\n- Low: everything operational\\n- Translation: Pre-marketing stage. Plan is foundation-heavy. First quarter is bedrock fixes.\\n\\n### \\\"Strong recent revenue, weak compounding\\\"\\n- High: Ads (#15), Sales material (#10), Pricing (#12)\\n- Low: SEO (#16), Resources (#7), Referral mechanics\\n- Translation: Performance marketing carries the business. Plan emphasizes building compounding channels before paid scales further.\\n\\n## When scores are subjective\\n\\nSome sections are easier to score from outside than others. Subjectivity tier:\\n\\n- **Objective (data-driven):** SEO (#16), Ads (#15), Email lifecycle (#9), Onboarding (#8) — backed by analytics\\n- **Semi-objective:** Pricing (#12), CRO (#13), Conversion pages (#5), Sales material (#10) — visible artifacts to evaluate\\n- **Subjective (judgment call):** Positioning (#1), Messaging (#11), Customer research (#2), Resources (#7) — interpretive\\n\\nFor subjective sections, write the rationale into the \\\"Note\\\" column so the team can push back if they disagree.\\n\\n## When a prior scored audit exists\\n\\nIf the team already has scored output from any current-state assessment, ingest those scores directly — don't redo the work. Treat that prior scoring as the ground truth for sections it covers.\\n\\nIf the prior scoring was done weeks ago and material has shifted since (new shipped flows, new content live, repositioning, etc.), note \\\"scored on YYYY-MM-DD; material has shifted since\\\" and update any specific scores you have current evidence for.\\n\"}\n];\n",[],[363,603,605],"fd801cb6-5d6d-11f1-9d15-1607ee4eb77e","ref_7.ts","fd801d7e-5d6d-11f1-9d15-1607ee4eb77e",666,["D",1780286241095],"// GENERATED by deploy/gen_skills_catalog.mjs — do not edit by hand.\nimport type { SkillRef } from \"../index.ts\";\nexport const REFS_PART_7: SkillRef[] = [\n {\"skill\":\"emails\",\"ref\":\"email-types\",\"body\":\"# Email Types Reference\\n\\nA comprehensive guide to lifecycle and campaign emails.

[Technical specs]\\n```\\n\\n### Example Prompts by Use Case\\n\\n**Blog hero — SaaS product:**\\n```\\nA clean workspace with a laptop displaying a colorful analytics dashboard,\\nminimalist desk with a coffee cup and notebook,\\nbright natural window lighting from the right,\\nshallow depth of field, commercial photography style,\\n1200x630, high resolution\\n```\\n\\n**Social media graphic — announcement:**\\n```\\nAbstract flowing gradient in deep purple and electric blue,\\ngeometric shapes forming a network pattern,\\ndramatic rim lighting on edges,\\nmodern tech aesthetic, clean and minimal,\\n1080x1080, vibrant colors\\n```\\n\\n**Product lifestyle shot:**\\n```\\nA person in a modern office smiling while looking at a tablet,\\nshowing a project management interface on

listing — Product Hunt:**\\n```\\nProduct screenshot on a clean gradient background,\\nsoft shadow underneath, slight 3D perspective tilt,\\nmodern SaaS product presentation style,\\n1270x760, bright and professional\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Style Keywords\\n\\n### Photorealistic\\n- \\\"commercial photography\\\"\\n- \\\"shot on Canon EOS R5\\\"\\n- \\\"editorial style\\\"\\n- \\\"natural lighting\\\"\\n- \\\"shallow depth of field\\\"\\n\\n### Clean/Corporate\\n- \\\"clean modern aesthetic\\\"\\n- \\\"minimal design\\\"\\n- \\\"professional corporate style\\\"\\n- \\\"bright and airy\\\"\\n- \\\"white background\\\"\\n\\n### Illustrative\\n- \\\"flat vector illustration\\\"\\n- \\\"isometric 3D render\\\"\\n- \\\"hand-drawn sketch style\\\"\\n- \\\"watercolor

\\\"developer-focused\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Lighting Keywords\\n\\n| Term | Effect | Best For |\\n|------|--------|----------|\\n| **Natural light** | Warm, organic feel | Lifestyle, editorial |\\n| **Studio lighting** | Even, controlled | Product shots |\\n| **Rim lighting** | Edge highlights, dramatic | Hero images, abstract |\\n| **Soft directional** | Gentle shadows, dimensional | Blog headers |\\n| **Volumetric** | Light rays, atmospheric | Dramatic, cinematic |\\n| **Flat/even** | No shadows, clean | Icons, diagrams |\\n| **Golden hour** | Warm orange tones | Lifestyle, outdoor |\\n| **High key** | Bright, minimal shadows | Clean, corporate |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Composition Keywords\\n\\n| Term | Effect | Best For |\\n|------|--------|----------|\\n| **Rule of thirds** |

focus | Texture, product detail |\\n| **Bird's eye/overhead** | Top-down view | Desk setups, flat lays |\\n| **Negative space** | Room for text overlay | Blog headers, banners |\\n| **Symmetrical** | Balanced, formal | Corporate, luxury |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Model-Specific Tips\\n\\n### Gemini Image (Google)\\n\\n- Best all-around for marketing images — good quality, reasonable cost\\n- Supports **image editing** — upload an existing image and describe changes\\n- Decent text rendering — can handle short headlines\\n- Specify \\\"high resolution\\\" for best output\\n- Works well with detailed, descriptive prompts\\n- Same API as text generation — easy to integrate\\n\\n### Flux (Black Forest Labs)\\n\\n- **Multi-image reference** is the killer feature — upload product screenshots, brand assets, or style references\\n- Best for **brand consistency** across a set of images\\n- Use Flux Pro for final assets, Flux Dev for rapid iteration\\n- Flux Klein for high-volume batch generation (cheapest)\\n- Style transfer via reference images > style keywords in prompt\\n- Prompts can be shorter than other models — the references do heavy lifting\\n\\n### Ideogram\\n\\n- **Best text rendering** of any model (industry-leading accuracy)\\n- Use when you need headlines, taglines, or brand names in the image\\n- Style reference system (up to 3 images) for brand consistency\\n- Supports \\\"Magic Prompt\\\" auto-enhancement\\n- Keep text requests simple — 3-5 words max for reliability\\n- Best for social graphics and banners that need text baked in\\n\\n### GPT Image (OpenAI)\\n\\n- Current models: `gpt-image-1` and variants (DALL-E 3 is deprecated)\\n- Integrated with ChatGPT — conversational image generation\\n- Good at following detailed prompts\\n- Decent text rendering (behind Ideogram, comparable to Gemini)\\n- Automatic prompt rewriting — may deviate from exact request\\n- Best for quick one-offs through ChatGPT interface\\n- API gives more control than ChatGPT interface\\n\\n### Midjourney\\n\\n- Highest aesthetic quality for artistic/editorial images\\n- No official API — Discord-based or web interface\\n- **Not agent-friendly** — use for manual creative exploration only\\n- Style flags: `--style raw` for less stylized, `--ar 16:9` for aspect ratio\\n- Best for hero images where pure visual quality matters most\\n- V6+ has improved text rendering but still unreliable\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Common Prompt Mistakes\\n\\n| Mistake | Why It Fails | Fix |\\n|---------|-------------|-----|\\n| \\\"A professional image\\\" | No visual detail | Describe subject, setting, style, lighting |\\n| Long paragraph of text in image | Models can't render paragraphs | 3-5 words max; add text in post |\\n| \\\"Make it look good\\\" | Not actionable | Specify style: \\\"commercial photography, bright\\\" |\\n| 200+ word prompts | Models lose focus | 40-80 words, specific over comprehensive |\\n| No aspect ratio | Random output size | Always specify dimensions or ratio |\\n| \\\"Logo in bottom right\\\" | Unreliable placement | Add logos in post-processing |\\n| \\\"Make it viral\\\" | Not a visual instruction | Describe the aesthetic you want |\\n| Requesting UI screenshots | AI hallucinates interfaces | Capture real screenshots instead |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Batch Generation Workflow\\n\\nWhen you need multiple images with consistent style (e.g., a blog series or social campaign):\\n\\n1. **Generate 3-4 test images** with different style prompts\\n2. **Pick the winning style** based on brand fit\\n3. **Save the exact prompt** as your template\\n4. **Use Flux multi-reference** — upload the winning image as a style reference\\n5. **Batch generate** variations with the same style, different subjects\\n6. **Post-process** — add text overlays, logos, crop to platform sizes\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Aspect Ratios Quick Reference\\n\\n| Use Case | Ratio | Pixels | Notes |\\n|----------|-------|--------|-------|\\n| Blog hero / OG image | 1.91:1 | 1200x630 | Universal web standard |\\n| Full-width hero | 16:9 | 1920x1080 | Website headers |\\n| Instagram Feed | 1:1 | 1080x1080 | Square |\\n| Instagram Feed (tall) | 4:5 | 1080x1350 | More screen real estate |\\n| Stories / Reels | 9:16 | 1080x1920 | Vertical full screen |\\n| LinkedIn cover | 4:1 | 1584x396 | Personal profile |\\n| Twitter/X header | 3:1 | 1500x500 | Profile banner |\\n| Product Hunt gallery | 5:3 | 1270x760 | Launch page |\\n| GitHub social preview | 2:1 | 1280x640 | Repo link card |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Cost Optimization\\n\\n- **Iterate at low quality first** — use Flux Dev or Gemini Flash for drafts, upgrade for finals\\n- **Use references over long prompts** — Flux multi-reference produces more consistent results with fewer retries\\n- **Batch similar requests** — generate all blog headers in one session with the same style\\n- **Cache and reuse** — abstract backgrounds, patterns, and textures can be reused across multiple images\\n- **Post-process instead of re-generate** — crop, overlay text, and adjust color in code rather than generating new images\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"lead-magnets\",\"ref\":\"benchmarks\",\"body\":\"# Lead

Consumer buyers don't congregate on LinkedIn or G2 — they leave traces in app stores, social media, and communities built around the activity your product serves.\\n\\n### App Store Reviews (iOS App Store / Google Play)\\n\\nOne of the richest unfiltered sources for mobile/consumer products.\\n\\n**Read in this order:**\\n1. **1-2 star reviews** — failure modes, unmet expectations, frustration peaks\\n2. **3-star reviews** — honest tradeoffs and \\\"it's good but…\\\" feedback\\n3. **5-star reviews** — what they love in their own words (proof points and positioning)\\n\\n**What to extract:**\\n- What job they hired the app to do (\\\"I use this to…\\\")\\n- The moment it stopped working for them\\n- What they compared it to or switched from\\n- Emotional language — \\\"I love how…\\\", \\\"I'm so frustrated that…\\\"\\n\\n**Search tip:** Sort by \\\"Most Recent\\\" to get fresh signal, then \\\"Most Critical\\\" for pain themes.\\n\\n### Amazon Reviews (for physical products or software with Amazon presence)\\n\\nSame priority order as app stores: 3-star reviews first.\\n\\n**G2 analog for consumer SaaS**: Trustpilot, Sitejabber, and product-specific review aggregators.\\n\\n### Reddit Consumer Communities\\n\\nB2C Reddit is highly vertical — go to the hobby/lifestyle subreddit, not the general ones.\\n\\n**Examples by product type:**\\n- Fitness apps: r/running, r/loseit, r/fitness, r/MyFitnessPal\\n- Personal finance: r/personalfinance, r/financialindependence, r/ynab\\n- Productivity/notes: r/productivity, r/Notion, r/ObsidianMD\\n- Travel: r/travel, r/solotravel, r/digitalnomad\\n- Parenting: r/Parenting, r/beyondthebump, r/daddit\\n\\n**Search pattern:** `site:reddit.com/r/[community] \\\"[app name OR problem]\\\"`\\n\\n### TikTok and Instagram Comments\\n\\nHigh-signal for consumer products with visual/lifestyle appeal.\\n\\n**How to find signal:**\\n- Search TikTok for \\\"[product name] review\\\" or \\\"is [product] worth it\\\"\\n- Watch the top 5-10 videos; read ALL comments — not just likes\\n- On Instagram, check tagged posts from real users (not brand posts)\\n\\n**What to extract:**\\n- Questions in comments = unmet needs or unclear positioning\\n- \\\"Does this work for…?\\\" = jobs they want to hire it for\\n- \\\"I switched from X\\\" comments = switching triggers\\n- Complaints about price, missing features, or broken promises\\n\\n### YouTube Comments (Consumer)\\n\\nSame approach as B2B but different video types:\\n\\n- \\\"X app honest review\\\" or \\\"X app after 6 months\\\"\\n- \\\"Best [category] apps [year]\\\" comparison videos\\n- Unboxing or \\\"setup\\\" videos for hardware/physical products\\n\\nComments on review videos are especially valuable — these are people actively in the consideration phase.\\n\\n### Consumer Community Platforms\\n\\n- **Facebook Groups**: Still dominant for many consumer verticals (parenting, fitness, local services, hobbies)\\n- **Discord servers**: Growing for gaming, creator tools, productivity, crypto, lifestyle communities\\n- **Nextdoor**: Useful for local service businesses\\n- **Quora**: Long-form questions reveal decision anxiety and evaluation criteria\\n\\n---\\n\\n## SparkToro (Audience Intelligence)\\n\\nSparkToro is a behavioral audience research tool. Instead of mining individual posts and comments, it aggregates clickstream, search, and social data to show what your audience does at scale — what they read, watch, listen to, follow, and search for.\\n\\n### When to Use SparkToro vs. Manual Research\\n\\n- **SparkToro first** when you need to understand where your ICP spends time, what content they consume, and which influencers they follow — it answers these questions in seconds with aggregated data\\n- **Manual research first** (Reddit, G2, communities) when you need raw language, exact quotes, emotional context, and the \\\"why\\\" behind behavior\\n- **Best together**: Use SparkToro to identify which podcasts, subreddits, and websites matter, then go mine those sources manually for voice-of-customer language\\n\\n### Key Queries to Run\\n\\n**By competitor:**\\n- \\\"People who follow @competitor\\\" — reveals shared audience affinities\\n- \\\"People who visit competitor.com\\\" — shows what else they consume\\n\\n**By audience description:**\\n- \\\"People who frequently talk about [topic]\\\" — finds audience behaviors\\n- \\\"People whose bio contains [job title]\\\" — profiles a role-based segment\\n\\n**By your own audience:**\\n- \\\"People who visit yourdomain.com\\\" — understand your actual audience\\n- Compare against competitor audience profiles to find gaps\\n\\n### What to Extract\\n\\n| Data Type | What It Tells You | Use It For |\\n|-----------|------------------|------------|\\n| Top websites visited | Where your audience reads | Content partnerships, guest posting targets |\\n| Top podcasts | What they listen to | Podcast guesting, sponsorship decisions |\\n| Top YouTube channels | What they watch | Video content strategy, ad placements |\\n| Top subreddits | Where they discuss | Community participation, Reddit ad targeting |\\n| Search keywords | What they Google | SEO and content topic planning |\\n| AI prompt topics | What they ask AI tools | Emerging content opportunities |\\n| Social accounts followed | Who influences them | Influencer partnerships, co-marketing |\\n| Demographics | Who they are | Persona building, ad targeting |\\n\\n### Source Weighting\\n\\nSparkToro data is aggregated and anonymized — it shows patterns, not individual opinions. Treat it as:\\n- **High confidence** for behavioral data (what they visit, follow, search for)\\n- **Medium confidence** for demographic data (self-reported, may be incomplete)\\n- **Not a substitute** for qualitative research (doesn't capture language, emotions, or the \\\"why\\\")\\n\\n### Limitations\\n\\n- Free tier: 5 reports/month, shallow results (top 5–10)\\n- No public API — all research done through web interface\\n- Skews English-language, US-centric\\n- Shows what audiences do, not why — pair with qualitative sources\\n\\nSee [tools/integrations/sparktoro.md](../../../tools/integrations/sparktoro.md) for full tool details and pricing.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Organizing Your Research\\n\\nUse a simple tagging system across all sources:\\n\\n| Tag | Meaning |\\n|-----|---------|\\n| `#pain` | A problem or frustration |\\n| `#trigger` | An event that prompted the search |\\n| `#outcome` | What success looks like |\\n| `#language` | Exact phrases worth using in copy |\\n| `#alternative` | Another solution they considered or use |\\n| `#objection` | Reason to hesitate or not buy |\\n| `#competitor` | Anything about a competing product |\\n\\nKeep a running doc with columns: Source | Date | Quote | Tags | Notes\\n\\nAfter 20-30 entries, patterns will emerge. Look for quotes that appear in multiple unrelated sources — those are your highest-confidence insights.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Source Reliability and Confidence Scoring\\n\\nNot all sources carry equal weight. Use this guide when assigning confidence labels.\\n\\n### Source Weighting\\n\\n| Source | Signal Strength | Bias to Note |\\n|--------|----------------|--------------|\\n| Customer interviews (unprompted) | Very high | Small sample; selection bias toward engaged customers |\\n| Win/loss interviews | High | Recent memory only; rationalization common |\\n| App store / G2 reviews | High | Skews toward strong opinions (love or hate) |\\n| Reddit / community posts | Medium-high | Skews technical, skeptical, vocal minorities |\\n| Support tickets | Medium | Skews toward problems; silent majority not represented |\\n| Survey (open-ended) | Medium | Primed by question framing |\\n| Survey (multiple choice) | Low-medium | Artifacts of the options you provided |\\n| NPS verbatims | Medium | Correlates with score; prompted by the survey moment |\\n| YouTube/TikTok comments | Medium | Skews toward engaged viewers; social performance |\\n| SparkToro audience data | Medium-high | Aggregated behavioral data; strong for \\\"what\\\" but not \\\"why\\\" |\\n| Job postings | Low-medium | Aspirational, not necessarily reflective of current pain |\\n\\n### Confidence Labels in Practice\\n\\nWhen presenting insights, lead with confidence:\\n\\n```\\n[HIGH CONFIDENCE] Customers feel overwhelmed by manual reporting — appears in 12 of 20 interviews,\\n4 Reddit threads, and is the #1 complaint in 3-star G2 reviews. Consistent across SMB and mid-market.\\n\\n[MEDIUM CONFIDENCE] Customers compare us to spreadsheets more than to direct competitors —\\nmentioned in 6 interviews and 3 Reddit threads, but not yet seen in review data.\\n\\n[LOW CONFIDENCE] Enterprise buyers may have procurement concerns — mentioned by 2 interviewees\\nfrom companies 500+. Needs more signal before acting on it.\\n```\\n\\n### Recency Window\\n\\n- **Use as primary source**: Data from the last 12 months\\n- **Use with caution**: 12-24 months (product and market may have shifted)\\n- **Use only for baseline context**: 2+ years old\\n\\nWhen a theme appears consistently across old and new data, that's a durable signal worth acting on.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"directory-submissions\",\"ref\":\"directory-list\",\"body\":\"# Directory List — Full Reference\\n\\nCanonical list of directories organized by tier.

Content is stored in a structured backend and delivered via API to any frontend.\\n\\n### When Headless Makes Sense\\n\\n- Multiple frontends consume the same content (web, mobile, email)\\n- Developers want full control over the frontend stack\\n- Content needs to be reused across channels\\n- You're building with a modern framework (Next.js, Remix, Astro)\\n- Marketing needs structured, reusable content blocks\\n\\n### When Traditional Works Better\\n\\n- Small team with no dedicated developers\\n- Simple blog or brochure site\\n- WYSIWYG editing is a hard requirement\\n- Budget is tight and WordPress/Webflow does the job\\n\\n### Decision Checklist\\n\\n| Factor | Headless | Traditional |\\n|--------|----------|-------------|\\n| Multi-channel delivery | Yes | Limited |\\n| Developer control | Full | Constrained |\\n| Non-technical editing | Requires setup | Built-in |\\n| Time to launch | Longer | Faster |\\n| Content reuse | Native | Manual |\\n| Hosting flexibility | Any frontend | Platform-dependent |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Content Modeling for Marketing\\n\\n### Core Principles\\n\\n1. **Think in types, not pages.** A \\\"Landing Page\\\" is a content type with fields — not an HTML file. This lets you reuse components across pages.\\n2. **Separate content from presentation.** Store the headline text, not the styled headline. Presentation belongs in the frontend.\\n3. **Design for reuse.** If testimonials appear on 5 pages, create a Testimonial type and reference it — don't duplicate.\\n4. **Keep models flat.** Deeply nested structures are hard to query and maintain. Prefer references over nesting.\\n\\n### Common Marketing Content Types\\n\\n| Type | Key Fields | Notes |\\n|------|-----------|-------|\\n| **Landing Page** | title, slug, hero, sections[], seo | Modular sections for flexibility |\\n| **Blog Post** | title, slug, body, author, category, tags, publishedAt, seo | Rich text or Portable Text body |\\n| **Case Study** | title, customer, challenge, solution, results, metrics[], logo | Link to related products/features |\\n| **Testimonial** | quote, author, role, company, avatar, rating | Reference from landing pages |\\n| **FAQ** | question, answer, category | Group by category for programmatic pages |\\n| **Author** | name, bio, avatar, social links | Reference from blog posts |\\n| **CTA Block** | heading, body, buttonText, buttonUrl, variant | Reusable across pages |\\n\\n### SEO Fields Checklist\\n\\nEvery page-level content type needs:\\n\\n- `metaTitle` — 50-60 characters\\n- `metaDescription` — 150-160 characters\\n- `ogImage` — 1200x630px social preview\\n- `slug` — URL path segment\\n- `canonicalUrl` — optional override\\n- `noIndex` — boolean for excluding from search\\n- `structuredData` — optional JSON-LD override\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Editorial Workflows\\n\\n### Draft → Review → Publish Cycle\\n\\n1. **Draft** — Author creates or edits content\\n2. **Review** — Editor reviews for accuracy, brand voice, SEO\\n3. **Approve** — Stakeholder signs off\\n4. **Schedule** — Set publish date/time\\n5. **Publish** — Content goes live via API\\n\\n### Preview APIs\\n\\nAll major headless CMS platforms support draft previews:\\n\\n- **Sanity**: Real-time preview with `useLiveQuery` or Presentation tool\\n- **Contentful**: Preview API (`preview.contentful.com`) with separate access token\\n- **Strapi**: Draft & Publish system with `status=draft` query parameter (v5; replaces v4's `publicationState`)\\n\\nSet up a preview route in your frontend (e.g., `/api/preview`) that authenticates and renders draft content.\\n\\n### Roles and Permissions\\n\\n| Role | Can Create | Can Edit | Can Publish | Can Delete |\\n|------|:----------:|:--------:|:-----------:|:----------:|\\n| Author | Yes | Own | No | Own drafts |\\n| Editor | Yes | All | Yes | Drafts |\\n| Admin | Yes | All | Yes | All |\\n\\nExact permission models vary by platform. Sanity uses role-based access. Contentful has space-level roles. Strapi has granular RBAC.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Platform Comparison\\n\\n| Feature | Sanity | Contentful | Strapi |\\n|---------|--------|------------|--------|\\n| Hosting | Cloud (managed) | Cloud (managed) | Self-hosted or Cloud |\\n| Query Language | GROQ | REST / GraphQL | REST / GraphQL |\\n| Free Tier | Generous | Limited | Open source (free) |\\n| Real-time Collab | Yes (built-in) | Limited | No |\\n| Best For | Developer flexibility | Enterprise multi-locale | Budget / self-hosted |\\n| Content Modeling | Schema-as-code | Web UI | Web UI or code |\\n| Media Handling | Built-in DAM | Built-in | Plugin-based |\\n\\n### Sanity\\n\\n**Strengths**: GROQ query language is powerful and flexible. Schema defined in code (version-controlled). Real-time collaborative editing. Portable Text for rich content. Generous free tier.\\n\\n**Considerations**: Steeper learning curve for non-developers. Studio customization requires React knowledge. Vendor lock-in on GROQ queries.\\n\\n**Marketing fit**: Best when developers and marketers collaborate closely. Strong for content-heavy sites with complex models.\\n\\n### Contentful\\n\\n**Strengths**: Mature enterprise platform. Excellent multi-locale support. Strong ecosystem of integrations. Composable content with Studio. Well-documented APIs.\\n\\n**Considerations**: Pricing scales with content types and locales. Two separate APIs (Delivery and Management). Rate limits can be tight on lower plans.\\n\\n**Marketing fit**: Best for enterprises with multi-market content needs. Good when you need established vendor reliability.\\n\\n### Strapi\\n\\n**Strengths**: Open source, self-hosted option. Full control over data. No per-seat pricing. Customizable admin panel. Plugin ecosystem. REST by default, GraphQL via plugin.\\n\\n**Considerations**: Self-hosting means you handle infrastructure. Smaller ecosystem than Sanity/Contentful. V5 migration can be significant from V4.\\n\\n**Marketing fit**: Best for teams with DevOps capability who want full control and no vendor lock-in. Good for budget-conscious projects.\\n\\n### Others Worth Knowing\\n\\n- **Hygraph** — GraphQL-native, strong for federation and multi-source content\\n- **Keystatic** — Git-based, good for developer-content hybrid workflows\\n- **Payload** — TypeScript-first, self-hosted, code-configured like Sanity\\n- **Builder.io** — Visual editor with headless backend, good for non-technical marketers\\n- **Prismic** — Slice-based content modeling, strong Next.js integration\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Integration with Marketing Skills\\n\\n### Programmatic SEO\\n\\nUse CMS as the data source for programmatic pages. Store structured data (FAQs, comparisons, city pages) as content types and generate pages from queries. See **programmatic-seo** skill.\\n\\n### Copywriting\\n\\nCMS content models enforce consistent structure. Define fields that match your copy frameworks (headline, subheadline, social proof, CTA). See **copywriting** skill.\\n\\n### Site Architecture\\n\\nURL structure, navigation hierarchy, and internal linking all depend on how content is organized in the CMS. Plan your content model and site architecture together. See **site-architecture** skill.\\n\\n### Email Sequences\\n\\nPull CMS content into email templates for consistent messaging across web and email. Case studies, testimonials, and blog posts can feed email nurture sequences. See **emails** skill.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Implementation Checklist\\n\\n- [ ] Define content types based on page types and reusable blocks\\n- [ ] Add SEO fields to every page-level content type\\n- [ ] Set up preview/draft mode in your frontend\\n- [ ] Configure roles and permissions for your team\\n- [ ] Create sample content for each type before building frontend\\n- [ ] Set up webhook notifications for content changes (rebuild triggers)\\n- [ ] Document content guidelines for editors (field descriptions, character limits)\\n- [ ] Test content delivery performance (CDN, caching, ISR)\\n- [ ] Plan migration strategy if moving from existing CMS\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Relevant Integration Guides\\n\\n- [Sanity](../../../tools/integrations/sanity.md) — GROQ queries, mutations, CLI\\n- [Contentful](../../../tools/integrations/contentful.md) — Delivery/Management APIs, publishing\\n- [Strapi](../../../tools/integrations/strapi.md) — REST CRUD, filters, document API\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"copy-editing\",\"ref\":\"checklist\",\"body\":\"# Copy Editing Checklist\\n\\nUse this checklist alongside the Seven Sweeps Framework (see SKILL.md) as a final QA pass before delivering edited copy.\\n\\n## Before You Start\\n\\n- [ ] Understand the goal of this copy\\n- [ ] Know the target audience\\n- [ ] Identify the desired action\\n- [ ] Read through once without editing\\n\\n## Clarity (Sweep 1)\\n\\n- [ ] Every sentence is immediately understandable\\n- [ ] No jargon without explanation\\n- [ ] Pronouns have clear references\\n- [ ] No sentences trying to do too much\\n\\n## Voice & Tone (Sweep 2)\\n\\n- [ ] Consistent formality level throughout\\n- [ ] Brand personality maintained\\n- [ ] No jarring shifts in mood\\n- [ ] Reads well aloud\\n\\n## So What (Sweep 3)\\n\\n- [ ] Every feature connects to a benefit\\n- [ ] Claims answer \\\"why should I care?\\\"\\n- [ ] Benefits connect to real desires\\n- [ ] No impressive-but-empty statements\\n\\n## Prove It (Sweep 4)\\n\\n- [ ] Claims are substantiated\\n- [ ] Social proof is specific and attributed\\n- [ ] Numbers and stats have sources\\n- [ ] No unearned superlatives\\n\\n## Specificity (Sweep 5)\\n\\n- [ ] Vague words replaced with concrete ones\\n- [ ] Numbers and timeframes included\\n- [ ] Generic statements made specific\\n- [ ] Filler content removed\\n\\n## Heightened Emotion (Sweep 6)\\n\\n- [ ] Copy evokes feeling, not just information\\n- [ ] Pain points feel real\\n- [ ] Aspirations feel achievable\\n- [ ] Emotion serves the message authentically\\n\\n## Zero Risk (Sweep 7)\\n\\n- [ ] Objections addressed near CTA\\n- [ ] Trust signals present\\n- [ ] Next steps are crystal clear\\n- [ ] Risk reversals stated (guarantee, trial, etc.)\\n\\n## Final Checks\\n\\n- [ ] No typos or grammatical errors\\n- [ ] Consistent formatting\\n- [ ] Links work (if applicable)\\n- [ ] Core message preserved through all edits\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"copy-editing\",\"ref\":\"content-refresh\",\"body\":\"# Content Refresh Editing\\n\\nCopy editing isn't just for new content. Existing pages and posts decay over time — outdated stats, stale examples, drifted brand voice, and missed SEO opportunities. A content refresh applies the same editing rigor to content that's already published.\\n\\n## When to Refresh\\n\\n- **Traffic declining** on a page that used to perform well\\n- **Stats or data** are more than 12 months old\\n- **Product has changed** — features, pricing, or positioning no longer match\\n- **Competitors updated** their version of the same content\\n- **AI search visibility** matters — outdated content gets cited less (see ai-seo skill)\\n\\n## Content Refresh Checklist\\n\\n1. **Freshness pass** — Update all dates, stats, and examples. Replace \\\"in 2024\\\" with current data. Remove references to deprecated features or tools.\\n2. **Accuracy pass** — Verify all claims are still true. Check that linked resources still exist. Confirm pricing and feature descriptions match current state.\\n3. **Voice pass** — Does the tone match your current brand voice? Older content often reflects an earlier stage of the company.\\n4. **SEO pass** — Has search intent shifted for this topic? Are there new keywords or questions to address? Add \\\"Last updated: [date]\\\" prominently.\\n5. **Proof pass** — Can you add newer testimonials, case studies, or data points that didn't exist when this was first published?\\n6. **Structure pass** — Add comparison tables, FAQ sections, or other scannable formats that make the content easier to consume.\\n\\n## Refresh vs. Rewrite\\n\\n| Signal | Action |\\n|--------|--------|\\n| Core message still valid, details outdated | Refresh (update facts, stats, examples) |\\n| Brand voice has evolved significantly | Refresh + voice rewrite |\\n| Topic angle or audience has shifted | Full rewrite |\\n| Page structure doesn't match current search intent | Full rewrite |\\n| Just needs updated stats and links | Light refresh |\\n\\n## Refresh Cadence\\n\\n- **Pricing and product pages**: Every quarter, or when pricing/features change\\n- **High-traffic blog posts**: Every 6 months\\n- **Comparison and alternatives pages**: Every 3-6 months (competitors change fast)\\n- **Evergreen guides**: Annually, unless traffic drops sooner\\n- **Low-traffic pages**: Only when traffic data suggests an opportunity\\n\"},\n

expert in form optimization. Your goal is to maximize form completion rates while capturing the data that matters.\\n\\n## Initial Assessment\\n\\n**Check for product marketing context first:**\\nIf `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md` in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.\\n\\nBefore providing recommendations, identify:\\n\\n1. **Form Type**\\n - Lead capture (gated content, newsletter)\\n - Contact form\\n - Demo/sales request\\n - Application form\\n - Survey/feedback\\n - Checkout form\\n - Quote request\\n\\n2. **Current State**\\n - How many fields?\\n - What's the current completion rate?\\n - Mobile vs. desktop split?\\n - Where do users abandon?\\n\\n3. **Business Context**\\n - What happens with form submissions?\\n - Which fields are actually used in follow-up?\\n - Are there compliance/legal requirements?\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Core Principles\\n\\n### 1. Every Field Has a Cost\\nEach field reduces completion rate. Rule of thumb:\\n- 3 fields: Baseline\\n- 4-6 fields: 10-25% reduction\\n- 7+ fields: 25-50%+ reduction\\n\\nFor each field, ask:\\n- Is this absolutely necessary before we can help them?\\n- Can we get this information another way?\\n- Can we ask this later?\\n\\n### 2. Value Must Exceed Effort\\n- Clear value proposition above form\\n- Make what they get obvious\\n- Reduce perceived effort (field count, labels)\\n\\n### 3. Reduce Cognitive Load\\n- One question per field\\n- Clear, conversational labels\\n- Logical grouping and order\\n- Smart defaults where possible\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Field-by-Field Optimization\\n\\n### Email Field\\n- Single field, no confirmation\\n- Inline validation\\n- Typo detection (did you mean gmail.com?)\\n- Proper mobile keyboard\\n\\n### Name Fields\\n- Single \\\"Name\\\" vs. First/Last — test this\\n- Single field reduces friction\\n- Split needed only if personalization requires it\\n\\n### Phone Number\\n- Make optional if possible\\n- If required, explain why\\n- Auto-format as they type\\n- Country code handling\\n\\n### Company/Organization\\n- Auto-suggest for faster entry\\n- Enrichment after submission (Clearbit, etc.)\\n- Consider inferring from email domain\\n\\n### Job Title/Role\\n- Dropdown if categories matter\\n- Free text if wide variation\\n- Consider making optional\\n\\n### Message/Comments (Free Text)\\n- Make optional\\n- Reasonable character guidance\\n- Expand on focus\\n\\n### Dropdown Selects\\n- \\\"Select one...\\\" placeholder\\n- Searchable if many options\\n- Consider radio buttons if < 5 options\\n- \\\"Other\\\" option with text field\\n\\n### Checkboxes (Multi-select)\\n- Clear, parallel labels\\n- Reasonable number of options\\n- Consider \\\"Select all that apply\\\" instruction\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Form Layout Optimization\\n\\n### Field Order\\n1. Start with easiest fields (name, email)\\n2. Build commitment before asking more\\n3. Sensitive fields last (phone, company size)\\n4. Logical grouping if many fields\\n\\n### Labels and Placeholders\\n- Labels: Keep visible (not just placeholder) — placeholders disappear when typing, leaving users unsure what they're filling in\\n- Placeholders: Examples, not labels\\n- Help text: Only when genuinely helpful\\n\\n**Good:**\\n```\\nEmail\\n[name@company.com]\\n```\\n\\n**Bad:**\\n```\\n[Enter your email address] ← Disappears on focus\\n```\\n\\n### Visual Design\\n- Sufficient spacing between fields\\n- Clear visual hierarchy\\n- CTA button stands out\\n- Mobile-friendly tap targets (44px+)\\n\\n### Single Column vs. Multi-Column\\n- Single column: Higher completion, mobile-friendly\\n- Multi-column: Only for short related fields (First/Last name)\\n- When in doubt, single column\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Multi-Step Forms\\n\\n### When to Use Multi-Step\\n- More than 5-6 fields\\n- Logically distinct sections\\n- Conditional paths based on answers\\n- Complex forms (applications, quotes)\\n\\n### Multi-Step Best Practices\\n- Progress indicator (step X of Y)\\n- Start with easy, end with sensitive\\n- One topic per step\\n- Allow back navigation\\n- Save progress (don't lose data on refresh)\\n- Clear indication of required vs. optional\\n\\n### Progressive Commitment Pattern\\n1. Low-friction start (just email)\\n2. More detail (name, company)\\n3. Qualifying questions\\n4. Contact preferences\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Error Handling\\n\\n### Inline Validation\\n- Validate as they move to next field\\n- Don't validate too aggressively while typing\\n- Clear visual indicators (green check, red border)\\n\\n### Error Messages\\n- Specific to the problem\\n- Suggest how to fix\\n- Positioned near the field\\n- Don't clear their input\\n\\n**Good:** \\\"Please enter a valid email address (e.g., name@company.com)\\\"\\n**Bad:** \\\"Invalid input\\\"\\n\\n### On Submit\\n- Focus on first error field\\n- Summarize errors if multiple\\n- Preserve all entered data\\n- Don't clear form on error\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Submit Button Optimization\\n\\n### Button Copy\\nWeak: \\\"Submit\\\" | \\\"Send\\\"\\nStrong: \\\"[Action] + [What they get]\\\"\\n\\nExamples:\\n- \\\"Get My Free Quote\\\"\\n- \\\"Download the Guide\\\"\\n- \\\"Request Demo\\\"\\n- \\\"Send Message\\\"\\n- \\\"Start Free Trial\\\"\\n\\n### Button Placement\\n- Immediately after last field\\n- Left-aligned with fields\\n- Sufficient size and contrast\\n- Mobile: Sticky or clearly visible\\n\\n### Post-Submit States\\n- Loading state (disable button, show spinner)\\n- Success confirmation (clear next steps)\\n- Error handling (clear message, focus on issue)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Trust and Friction Reduction\\n\\n### Near the Form\\n- Privacy statement: \\\"We'll never share your info\\\"\\n- Security badges if collecting sensitive data\\n- Testimonial or social proof\\n- Expected response time\\n\\n### Reducing Perceived Effort\\n- \\\"Takes 30 seconds\\\"\\n- Field count indicator\\n- Remove visual clutter\\n- Generous white space\\n\\n### Addressing Objections\\n- \\\"No spam, unsubscribe anytime\\\"\\n- \\\"We won't share your number\\\"\\n- \\\"No credit card required\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Form Types: Specific Guidance\\n\\n### Lead Capture (Gated Content)\\n- Minimum viable fields (often just email)\\n- Clear value proposition for what they get\\n- Consider asking enrichment questions post-download\\n- Test email-only vs. email + name\\n\\n### Contact Form\\n- Essential: Email/Name + Message\\n- Phone optional\\n- Set response time expectations\\n- Offer alternatives (chat, phone)\\n\\n### Demo Request\\n- Name, Email, Company required\\n- Phone: Optional with \\\"preferred contact\\\" choice\\n- Use case/goal question helps personalize\\n- Calendar embed can increase show rate\\n\\n### Quote/Estimate Request\\n- Multi-step often works well\\n- Start with easy questions\\n- Technical details later\\n- Save progress for complex forms\\n\\n### Survey Forms\\n- Progress bar essential\\n- One question per screen for engagement\\n- Skip logic for relevance\\n- Consider incentive for completion\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Mobile Optimization\\n\\n- Larger touch targets (44px minimum height)\\n- Appropriate keyboard types (email, tel, number)\\n- Autofill support\\n- Single column only\\n- Sticky submit button\\n- Minimal typing (dropdowns, buttons)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Measurement\\n\\n### Key Metrics\\n- **Form start rate**: Page views → Started form\\n- **Completion rate**: Started → Submitted\\n- **Field drop-off**: Which fields lose people\\n- **Error rate**: By field\\n- **Time to complete**: Total and by field\\n- **Mobile vs. desktop**: Completion by device\\n\\n### What to Track\\n- Form views\\n- First field focus\\n- Each field completion\\n- Errors by field\\n- Submit attempts\\n- Successful submissions\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\n### Form Audit\\nFor each issue:\\n- **Issue**: What's wrong\\n- **Impact**: Estimated effect on conversions\\n- **Fix**: Specific recommendation\\n- **Priority**: High/Medium/Low\\n\\n### Recommended Form Design\\n- **Required fields**: Justified list\\n- **Optional fields**: With rationale\\n- **Field order**: Recommended sequence\\n- **Copy**: Labels, placeholders, button\\n- **Error messages**: For each field\\n- **Layout**: Visual guidance\\n\\n### Test Hypotheses\\nIdeas to A/B test with expected outcomes\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Experiment Ideas\\n\\n### Form Structure Experiments\\n\\n**Layout & Flow**\\n- Single-step form vs. multi-step with progress bar\\n- 1-column vs. 2-column field layout\\n- Form embedded on page vs. separate page\\n- Vertical vs. horizontal field alignment\\n- Form above fold vs. after content\\n\\n**Field Optimization**\\n- Reduce to minimum viable fields\\n- Add or remove phone number field\\n- Add or remove company/organization field\\n- Test required vs. optional field balance\\n- Use field enrichment to auto-fill known data\\n- Hide fields for returning/known visitors\\n\\n**Smart Forms**\\n- Add real-time validation for emails and phone numbers\\n- Progressive profiling (ask more over time)\\n- Conditional fields based on earlier answers\\n- Auto-suggest for company names\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Copy & Design Experiments\\n\\n**Labels & Microcopy**\\n- Test field label clarity and length\\n- Placeholder text optimization\\n- Help text: show vs. hide vs. on-hover\\n- Error message tone (friendly vs. direct)\\n\\n**CTAs & Buttons**\\n- Button text variations (\\\"Submit\\\" vs. \\\"Get My Quote\\\" vs. specific action)\\n- Button color and size testing\\n- Button placement relative to fields\\n\\n**Trust Elements**\\n- Add privacy assurance near form\\n- Show trust badges next to submit\\n- Add testimonial near form\\n- Display expected response time\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Form Type-Specific Experiments\\n\\n**Demo Request Forms**\\n- Test with/without phone number requirement\\n- Add \\\"preferred contact method\\\" choice\\n- Include \\\"What's your biggest challenge?\\\" question\\n- Test calendar embed vs. form submission\\n\\n**Lead Capture Forms**\\n- Email-only vs. email + name\\n- Test value proposition messaging above form\\n- Gated vs. ungated content strategies\\n- Post-submission enrichment questions\\n\\n**Contact Forms**\\n- Add department/topic routing dropdown\\n- Test with/without message field requirement\\n- Show alternative contact methods (chat, phone)\\n- Expected response time messaging\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Mobile & UX Experiments\\n\\n- Larger touch targets for mobile\\n- Test appropriate keyboard types by field\\n- Sticky submit button on mobile\\n- Auto-focus first field on page load\\n- Test form container styling (card vs. minimal)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Task-Specific Questions\\n\\n1.

Our in-inbox coach helps new reps write effective emails from day one with real-time scoring. Open to a quick chat about how this could support your growth?\\n\\n## Star-Story-Solution\\n\\n**Structure:** Introduce character (customer) → Tell challenge narrative → Reveal results.\\n**Best for:** Strong customer success stories.

They adopted our AI prospecting tool and sent hyper-personalized emails at 3x pace without losing quality. Within 90 days, they booked more meetings than their competitor's entire team.

How are you handling ramp for new hires?\\n\\n## ACCA — Awareness, Comprehension, Conviction, Action\\n\\n**Structure:** Contrarian hook → Explain benefit simply → Provide proof → Strong CTA.\\n**Best for:** Analytical buyers who need evidence (engineers, CFOs, ops leaders).\\n\\n> Most sales teams measure rep activity.

Mobile-optimized. Deliberately polarizing.\\n\\nSpend max 1 minute on personalization. Use industry/persona-level signals. For top-tier prospects, quote their own words from interviews — they almost always respond.\\n\\n## Vanilla Ice Cream (Lavender)\\n\\n**Structure:** Observation → Problem/Insight → Credibility → Solution → Call-to-Conversation.\\n**Best for:** Universal \\\"base\\\" framework that works everywhere. Five parts.\\n\\n## PASTOR (Ray Edwards)\\n\\n**Structure:** Problem → Amplify → Story → Testimony → Offer → Response.\\n**Best for:** Longer-form or multi-email sequences.

The key insight: **if your personalization has nothing to do with the problem you solve, it's just an attention hack** (Clay).\\n\\n## Four Levels of Personalization\\n\\n### Level 1 — Basic (merge tags)\\n\\nFirst name, company name, job title. Table stakes, no longer differentiating. ~5% lift.\\n\\n### Level 2 — Industry/segment\\n\\nIndustry-specific pain points, trends, regulatory challenges. Scalable via micro-segmentation.\\n\\n> Most {{industry}} teams struggle with {{lead gen problem}}, which often leads to wasted effort.\\n\\n### Level 3 — Role-level\\n\\nChallenges specific to their role and seniority.\\n\\n> As Head of Sales, keeping pipeline steady is probably your biggest headache. Your RevOps team is small, so you're likely wearing multiple hats during scaling.\\n\\n### Level 4 — Individual (gold standard)\\n\\nSpecific, timely observations about that person connected to the problem you solve.\\n\\n> Noticed you're hiring 3 SDRs — sounds like you're scaling outbound fast. Most teams hit follow-up fatigue during onboarding.\\n\\n## Research Signal Stack\\n\\n| Signal | Where to find it | How to use it |\\n| ----------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\\n| Recent funding | Crunchbase, LinkedIn, press | \\\"Congrats on Series B — scaling teams fast usually creates X challenge\\\" |\\n| Job postings | LinkedIn Jobs, careers page | \\\"Noticed you're hiring 3 SDRs — sounds like you're scaling outbound\\\" |\\n| Tech stack | BuiltWith, Wappalyzer, HG Insights | \\\"I see you're using HubSpot — most teams at your stage hit a ceiling with X\\\" |\\n| LinkedIn activity | Posts, comments, job changes | \\\"Really enjoyed your post about X\\\" |\\n| Company news | Google News, press releases | \\\"Congrats on acquiring X — integrating teams usually creates Y challenge\\\" |\\n| Podcast/talks | Google, YouTube, podcasts | \\\"Caught your talk at SaaStr on X — really insightful\\\" |\\n| Website changes | Manual review | \\\"Your new pricing page caught my eye — curious how it's converting\\\" |\\n\\n## The 3-Minute Personalization System\\n\\nFrom \\\"30 Minutes to President's Club\\\":\\n\\n**Step 1:** Build a research stack of top 10 buying signals — 5 company triggers, 5 person triggers. Stack-rank by relevance.\\n\\n**Step 2:** Build a 3x3 template: (1) personalization attached to a problem, (2) problem you solve, (3) one-sentence solution + low-friction CTA.\\n\\n**Step 3:** Create 5 \\\"trigger templates\\\" — pre-written personalization paragraphs for each trigger, with a smooth segue into the problem.\\n\\nThe personalization must logically connect to the problem. This creates 5 reusable triggers with the rest of the email constant. A top SDR writes a personalized email in **under 3 minutes**.\\n\\n## The Four -Graphic Principles (Becc Holland)\\n\\n- **Demographic** — Age, profession, background\\n- **Technographic** — Tech stack, tools used\\n- **Firmographic** — Company size, funding, industry, growth stage\\n- **Psychographic** — Values, passions, beliefs (highest-impact dimension)\\n\\nTapping into what prospects are passionate about drives significantly higher response rates.\\n\\n## Observation-Based Openers (highest performing)\\n\\n**Trigger-event:** \\\"Congrats on the recent funding round — scaling the team from here is exciting, and I imagine [challenge] is top of mind.\\\"\\n\\n**Observation:** \\\"Your recent post about [topic] resonated — especially the part about [detail].

The data is counterintuitive: **short, boring, internal-looking subject lines win decisively.**\\n\\n## Length: 2–4 words\\n\\n- 2-word subject lines get **60% more opens** than 5-word (Lavender).\\n- Going from 2 to 4 words reduces replies by **17.5%**.\\n- 2–4 words yield **46% open rates** vs 34% for 10 words (Belkins, 5.5M emails).\\n- Mobile truncates at 30–35 characters — brevity is practical necessity.\\n\\n## Internal Camouflage Principle\\n\\nSubject lines that look like they came from a colleague, not a vendor, double open rates (Gong). Buyers mentally categorize before opening — if it looks like sales, it's filtered.\\n\\n**High-performing examples:** \\\"reply rates\\\" · \\\"trial delays\\\" · \\\"hiring ops\\\" · \\\"employee turnover\\\" · \\\"Q2 forecast\\\" · \\\"new patients\\\" · \\\"personalization issue\\\" · \\\"second page\\\"\\n\\n## Capitalization: lowercase wins\\n\\nAll-lowercase has highest open rates (Gong, 85M+ emails). Lowercase looks more personal/internal. For cold outreach specifically, lowercase beats title case.\\n\\n## Personalization: context over name\\n\\nPersonalized subject lines boost opens **26–50%**, but type matters:\\n\\n- **First name in subject line → 12% fewer replies.** Signals automation.\\n- **Contextual personalization works:** pain points, competitors, trigger events, industry challenges.\\n- Use {{painPoint}}, {{competitor}}, {{commonGround}} — not {{firstName}}.\\n\\n## Questions: only when highly specific\\n\\nData conflicts: Belkins says questions perform well (46% open rate). Lavender says questions lower opens by **56%**. Resolution: **specific pain questions work** (\\\"Need help with {{challenge}}?\\\"), **generic questions fail** (\\\"Quick question?\\\" / \\\"Have 15 minutes?\\\"). Default to statements.\\n\\n## What to Avoid\\n\\n| Anti-pattern | Impact |\\n| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |\\n| Salesy language (\\\"increase,\\\" \\\"boost,\\\" \\\"ROI\\\") | -17.9% opens |\\n| Urgency words (\\\"ASAP,\\\" \\\"urgent\\\") | Below 36% opens |\\n| Excessive punctuation (\\\"!!!\\\" or \\\"??\\\") | -36% opens |\\n| Numbers and percentages | -46% opens |\\n| Emojis | Hurt B2B professionalism |\\n| Pitching product in subject | -57% replies |\\n| Empty/no subject line | +30% opens but -12% replies |\\n| Spam triggers (\\\"free,\\\" \\\"guarantee,\\\" \\\"act now\\\") | Deliverability risk |\\n\\n## C-Suite Subject Lines\\n\\nExecutives receive 300–400 emails daily, decide in seconds.

Your access continues until [date].\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### B2B / Team Plans\\n\\nLower volume, higher stakes. Personal outreach is worth the cost.\\n\\n**Flow structure:**\\n```\\nCancel button → Exit survey → Offer (or route to CS) → Confirm → Post-cancel\\n```\\n\\n**Characteristics:**\\n- Route accounts above MRR threshold to customer success\\n- Show team impact (\\\"Your 8 team members will lose access\\\")\\n- Offer admin-to-admin call for enterprise accounts\\n- Longer consideration — allow \\\"schedule a call\\\" as a save option\\n- Require admin/owner role to cancel (not any team member)\\n\\n**Typical save rate:** 30-45% (higher because of personal touch)\\n\\n**MRR-based routing:**\\n\\n| Account MRR | Cancel Flow |\\n|-------------|-------------|\\n| <$100/mo | Automated flow with offers |\\n| $100-$500/mo | Automated + flag for CS follow-up |\\n| $500-$2,000/mo | Route to CS before cancel completes |\\n| $2,000+/mo | Block self-serve cancel, require CS call |\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Freemium / Free-to-Paid\\n\\nUsers cancelling paid to return to free tier. Different psychology — they're not leaving, they're downgrading.\\n\\n**Flow structure:**\\n```\\nCancel button → \\\"Switch to Free?\\\" prompt → Exit survey (if still cancelling) → Offer → Confirm\\n```\\n\\n**Characteristics:**\\n- Lead with the free tier as the first option (not a save offer)\\n- Show what they keep on free vs. what they lose\\n- The \\\"save\\\" is keeping them on free, not losing them entirely\\n- Track free-tier users for future re-upgrade campaigns\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Cancel Flow by Billing Interval\\n\\n### Monthly Subscribers\\n\\n- More price-sensitive, shorter commitment\\n- Discount offers work well (20-30% for 2-3 months)\\n- Pause is effective (1-2 months)\\n- Suggest annual plan at a discount as an alternative\\n\\n**Offer priority:**\\n1. Discount (if reason = price)\\n2. Pause (if reason = not using / temporary)\\n3. Annual plan switch (if engaged but price-sensitive)\\n\\n### Annual Subscribers\\n\\n- Higher commitment, often cancelling for stronger reasons\\n- Prorate refund expectations matter\\n- Longer save window (they've already paid)\\n- Personal outreach more justified (higher LTV at stake)\\n\\n**Offer priority:**\\n1. Pause remainder of term (if temporary)\\n2. Plan adjustment + credit for next renewal\\n3. Personal outreach from CS\\n4. Partial refund + downgrade (better than full refund + cancel)\\n\\n**Refund handling:**\\n- Offer prorated refund if significant time remaining\\n- \\\"Pause until renewal\\\" if less than 3 months left\\n- Be generous — bad refund experiences create vocal detractors\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Save Offer Patterns\\n\\n### The Discount Ladder\\n\\nDon't lead with your biggest discount. Escalate:\\n\\n```\\nCancel click → 15% off → Still cancelling → 25% off → Still cancelling → Let them go\\n```\\n\\n**Rules:**\\n- Maximum 2 discount offers per cancel session\\n- Never exceed 30% (higher trains cancel-for-discount behavior)\\n- Time-limit discounts (2-3 months, then full price resumes)\\n- Track discount accepters — if they cancel again at full price, don't re-offer\\n\\n### The Pause Playbook\\n\\nPause is often better than a discount because it doesn't devalue your product.\\n\\n**Implementation:**\\n\\n| Setting | Recommendation |\\n|---------|---------------|\\n| Pause duration options | 1 month, 2 months, 3 months |\\n| Default selection | 1 month (shortest) |\\n| Maximum pause | 3 months (longer pauses rarely return) |\\n| During pause | Keep data, remove access |\\n| Reactivation | Auto-reactivate with 7-day advance email |\\n| Repeat pauses | Allow 1 pause per 12-month period |\\n\\n**Pause reactivation sequence:**\\n- Day -7: \\\"Your pause ends in 7 days. We've been busy — here's what's new.\\\"\\n- Day -1: \\\"Welcome back tomorrow! Here's what's waiting for you.\\\"\\n- Day 0: \\\"You're back! Here's a quick tour of what's new.\\\"\\n\\n### The Downgrade Path\\n\\nFor multi-plan products, downgrade is the strongest save:\\n\\n```\\n┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐\\n│ Before you go, what about right-sizing │\\n│ your plan? │\\n│ │\\n│ Current: Pro ($49/mo) │\\n│ │\\n│ ┌─────────────────────────────────┐ │\\n│ │ Switch to Starter ($19/mo) │ │\\n│ │ │ │\\n│ │ ✓ Keep: Projects, integrations │ │\\n│ │ ✗ Lose: Advanced analytics, │ │\\n│ │ team features │ │\\n│ │ │ │\\n│ │ [Switch to Starter] │ │\\n│ └─────────────────────────────────┘ │\\n│ │\\n│ [No thanks, continue cancelling] │\\n└─────────────────────────────────────────┘\\n```\\n\\n**Downgrade best practices:**\\n- Show exactly what they keep and what they lose\\n- Use checkmarks and X marks for scanability\\n- Preserve their data even on the lower plan\\n- If they downgrade, don't show upgrade prompts for at least 30 days\\n\\n### The Competitor Switch Handler\\n\\nWhen the cancel reason is \\\"switching to competitor\\\":\\n\\n1. **Ask which competitor** (optional, don't force it)\\n2. **Show a comparison** if you have one (see competitors skill)\\n3. **Offer a migration credit** (\\\"We'll match their price for 3 months\\\")\\n4. **Request a feedback call** (\\\"15 minutes to understand what we're missing\\\")\\n\\nThis data is gold for product and marketing teams.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Post-Cancel Experience\\n\\nWhat happens after cancel matters for:\\n- Win-back potential\\n- Word of mouth\\n- Review sentiment\\n\\n### Confirmation Page\\n\\n```\\nYour subscription has been cancelled.\\n\\nWhat happens next:\\n• Your access continues until [billing period end date]\\n• Your data will be preserved for 90 days\\n• You can reactivate anytime from your account settings\\n\\n[Reactivate My Account]\\n\\nWe'd love to have you back. We'll keep improving based on feedback\\nfrom customers like you.\\n```\\n\\n### Post-Cancel Sequence\\n\\n| Timing | Action |\\n|--------|--------|\\n| Immediately | Confirmation email with access end date |\\n| Day 1 | (Nothing — don't be desperate) |\\n| Day 7 | NPS/satisfaction survey about overall experience |\\n| Day 30 | \\\"What's new\\\" email with recent improvements |\\n| Day 60 | Address their specific cancel reason if resolved |\\n| Day 90 | Final win-back with special offer |\\n\\n**For detailed win-back email sequences**: See the emails skill.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Segmentation Rules\\n\\nThe most effective cancel flows use segmentation to show different offers to different customers.\\n\\n### Segmentation Dimensions\\n\\n| Dimension | Why It Matters |\\n|-----------|---------------|\\n| Plan / MRR | Higher-value customers get personal outreach |\\n| Tenure | Long-term customers get more generous offers |\\n| Usage level | High-usage customers get different messaging than dormant ones |\\n| Billing interval | Monthly vs. annual need different approaches |\\n| Previous saves | Don't re-offer the same discount to a repeat canceller |\\n| Cancel reason | Drives which offer to show (core mapping) |\\n\\n### Segment-Specific Flows\\n\\n**New customer (< 30 days):**\\n- They haven't activated. The save is onboarding, not discounts.\\n- Offer: Free onboarding call, setup help, extended trial\\n- Ask: \\\"What were you hoping to accomplish?\\\" (learn what's missing)\\n\\n**Engaged customer cancelling on price:**\\n- They love the product but can't justify the cost.\\n- Offer: Discount, annual plan switch, downgrade\\n- High save potential\\n\\n**Dormant customer (no login 30+ days):**\\n- They forgot about you. A discount won't bring them back.\\n- Offer: Pause subscription, \\\"what changed?\\\" conversation\\n- Low save potential — focus on learning why\\n\\n**Power user switching to competitor:**\\n- They're actively choosing something else.\\n- Offer: Competitive match, feedback call, roadmap preview\\n- Medium save potential — depends on reason\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Implementation Checklist\\n\\n### Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1)\\n- [ ] Add cancel flow (survey + 1 offer + confirmation)\\n- [ ] Set up exit survey with 5-7 reason categories\\n- [ ] Map one offer per reason (simple 1:1 mapping)\\n- [ ] Track cancel reasons and save rate in analytics\\n- [ ] Enable pre-dunning card expiry emails\\n\\n### Phase 2: Optimization (Weeks 2-4)\\n- [ ] Add fallback offers (primary + secondary per reason)\\n- [ ] Implement pause subscription option\\n- [ ] Set up dunning email sequence (4 emails over 10 days)\\n- [ ] Enable smart retries (Stripe Smart Retries or equivalent)\\n- [ ] Add MRR-based routing for high-value accounts\\n\\n### Phase 3: Advanced (Month 2+)\\n- [ ] Build health score from usage signals\\n- [ ] Set up proactive intervention triggers\\n- [ ] A/B test discount amounts and offer types\\n- [ ] Segment flows by plan, tenure, and usage\\n- [ ] Post-cancel win-back sequence (coordinate with emails skill)\\n- [ ] Cohort analysis: churn by channel, plan, tenure\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Compliance Notes\\n\\n### FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (US)\\n- Cancellation must be as easy as signup\\n- Cannot require a phone call to cancel if signup was online\\n- Cannot add excessive steps to discourage cancellation\\n- Save offers are allowed but \\\"continue cancelling\\\" must be clear\\n\\n### GDPR / Data Retention (EU)\\n- Inform users about data retention period post-cancel\\n- Offer data export before account deletion\\n- Honor deletion requests within 30 days\\n- Don't use post-cancel data for marketing without consent\\n\\n### General Best Practices\\n- Always show a clear path to complete cancellation\\n- Never hide the cancel button (dark pattern)\\n- Process cancellation even if save flow has errors\\n- Confirm cancellation with email receipt\\n\"}\n];\n",[],[363,603,645],"f9966b0a-5d6d-11f1-a415-1607ee4eb77e","ref_2.ts","f9966baa-5d6d-11f1-a415-1607ee4eb77e",661,["D",1780286234531],"// GENERATED by deploy/gen_skills_catalog.mjs — do not edit by hand.\nimport type { SkillRef } from \"../index.ts\";\nexport const REFS_PART_2: SkillRef[] = [\n {\"skill\":\"ads\",\"ref\":\"conversion-tracking\",\"body\":\"# Conversion Tracking Setup\\n\\nHow to set up conversion tracking pixels across ad platforms.

Install GTM container on all pages\\n2. Create Google Ads conversion tags in GTM\\n3. Set triggers for conversion events (form submissions, purchases)\\n4. Use the Data Layer to pass dynamic values (order amount, transaction ID)\\n5. Test with GTM Preview mode before publishing\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Meta (Facebook/Instagram)\\n\\n### Install the Meta Pixel\\n\\nAdd to every page, in ``:\\n\\n```html\\n\\n```\\n\\nReplace `YOUR_PIXEL_ID` from Meta Events Manager.\\n\\n### Standard events\\n\\n```javascript\\n// View a product or key page\\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent', {\\n content_name: 'Pro Plan',\\n content_category: 'Pricing',\\n value: 29.00,\\n currency: 'USD'\\n});\\n\\n// Lead capture (form submit, demo request)\\nfbq('track', 'Lead', {\\n content_name: 'Demo Request',\\n value: 50.00,\\n currency: 'USD'\\n});\\n\\n// Purchase\\nfbq('track', 'Purchase', {\\n value: 99.00,\\n currency: 'USD',\\n content_type: 'product',\\n contents: [{ id: 'pro-plan', quantity: 1 }]\\n});\\n\\n// Add to cart (e-commerce)\\nfbq('track', 'AddToCart', {\\n content_ids: ['SKU-123'],\\n content_type: 'product',\\n value: 49.00,\\n currency: 'USD'\\n});\\n```\\n\\n### Conversions API (CAPI)\\n\\nServer-side tracking that works alongside the pixel. Required for accurate tracking after iOS 14+ and cookie restrictions.\\n\\nSet up via:\\n- **Direct integration** — send events from your server to Meta's API\\n- **Partner integrations** — Shopify, WooCommerce, Segment, etc. have built-in CAPI support\\n- **Conversions API Gateway** — Meta's managed solution via AWS\\n\\nKey: send the same events from both pixel (browser) AND CAPI (server), with a shared `event_id` for deduplication.\\n\\n### Aggregated Event Measurement\\n\\nRequired for iOS 14+ tracking. In Events Manager > Aggregated Event Measurement:\\n1. Verify your domain\\n2. Configure and prioritize your top 8 events in order of business importance\\n3. Purchase should typically be #1, Lead #2\\n\\n---\\n\\n## LinkedIn\\n\\n### Install the Insight Tag\\n\\nAdd to every page, before ``:\\n\\n```html\\n\\n```\\n\\n### Conversion tracking\\n\\nLinkedIn supports two methods:\\n\\n**URL-based**: Fires when someone visits a specific URL (e.g., `/thank-you`).\\nSet up in Campaign Manager > Analyze > Conversion Tracking > Create Conversion.\\n\\n**Event-based**: Fire manually on specific actions:\\n\\n```javascript\\nwindow.lintrk('track', { conversion_id: YOUR_CONVERSION_ID });\\n```\\n\\n### LinkedIn CAPI\\n\\nFor server-side tracking, LinkedIn offers a Conversions API. Set up via partner integrations (Segment, Tealium) or direct API calls. Deduplicates with the Insight Tag automatically when configured correctly.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## TikTok\\n\\n### Install the TikTok Pixel\\n\\nAdd to every page, in ``:\\n\\n```html\\n\\n```\\n\\n### Standard events\\n\\n```javascript\\n// View content\\nttq.track('ViewContent', {\\n content_id: 'pro-plan',\\n content_type: 'product',\\n content_name: 'Pro Plan',\\n value: 29.00,\\n currency: 'USD'\\n});\\n\\n// Complete registration / sign up\\nttq.track('CompleteRegistration', {\\n content_name: 'Free Trial'\\n});\\n\\n// Purchase\\nttq.track('Purchase', {\\n content_id: 'pro-plan',\\n content_type: 'product',\\n value: 99.00,\\n currency: 'USD',\\n quantity: 1\\n});\\n\\n// Add to cart\\nttq.track('AddToCart', {\\n content_id: 'SKU-123',\\n content_type: 'product',\\n value: 49.00,\\n currency: 'USD'\\n});\\n```\\n\\n### Events API (server-side)\\n\\nTikTok's Events API works like Meta's CAPI — send the same events from your server for better attribution. Use `event_id` for deduplication with browser pixel events.\\n\\n### Advanced Matching\\n\\nPass hashed user data for better attribution:\\n\\n```javascript\\nttq.identify({\\n email: 'user@example.com', // auto-hashed\\n phone_number: '+11234567890'\\n});\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Validation Checklist\\n\\nAfter installing any pixel, verify before going live:\\n\\n### Browser-side checks\\n\\n- [ ] Pixel fires on every page (check via browser extension)\\n- [ ] Conversion events fire at the right moment (after confirmed action, not on button click)\\n- [ ] Event parameters contain correct values (currency, amount, content IDs)\\n- [ ] No duplicate events firing on the same action\\n- [ ] Events fire on both desktop and mobile\\n\\n### Platform-side checks\\n\\n- [ ] Events appear in the platform's event manager/diagnostics\\n- [ ] Test conversions show correct values\\n- [ ] Event match quality is acceptable (Meta: score > 6)\\n- [ ] Server-side events are deduplicating with browser events (not double-counting)\\n\\n### Debugging tools\\n\\n| Platform | Tool |\\n|----------|------|\\n| Google | Google Tag Assistant, Chrome DevTools Network tab |\\n| Meta | Meta Pixel Helper (Chrome extension), Events Manager Test Events |\\n| LinkedIn | Insight Tag Validator in Campaign Manager |\\n| TikTok | TikTok Pixel Helper (Chrome extension), Events Manager |\\n| All | GTM Preview Mode (if using Google Tag Manager) |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Common Mistakes\\n\\n- **Firing purchase events on button click instead of confirmed payment** — always fire on the success/thank-you page or after server confirmation\\n- **Missing deduplication between pixel and server events** — without a shared `event_id`, you'll double-count conversions\\n- **Not testing on mobile** — many pixels break on mobile browsers or in-app webviews\\n- **Hardcoded test values** — remove test transaction amounts before going live\\n- **Forgetting to exclude internal traffic** — your team's visits inflate conversion data\\n- **Installing pixels without consent management** — GDPR/CCPA require user consent before firing tracking pixels in applicable regions\\n- **Pixel installed but no conversion actions created** — the pixel collects data, but the ad platform won't optimize without defined conversion actions\\n\\n---\\n\\n## When to Use Server-Side Tracking\\n\\nBrowser-only tracking is increasingly unreliable due to:\\n- iOS 14+ App Tracking Transparency\\n- Third-party cookie deprecation\\n- Ad blockers (30%+ of tech audiences)\\n\\n**Use server-side (CAPI/Events API) when:**\\n- Running Meta or TikTok ads (strongly recommended)\\n- Your audience is tech-savvy (higher ad blocker usage)\\n- You need accurate purchase/revenue attribution\\n- You're spending >$5K/month on any platform\\n\\n**Server-side is optional when:**\\n- Running Google Ads only (Enhanced Conversions covers most gaps)\\n- Low ad spend / testing phase\\n- B2B with LinkedIn only (Insight Tag is still reliable)\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"ads\",\"ref\":\"platform-setup-checklists\",\"body\":\"# Platform Setup Checklists\\n\\nComplete setup checklists for major ad platforms.\\n\\n## Contents\\n- Google Ads Setup (Account Foundation, Conversion Tracking, Analytics Integration, Audience Setup, Campaign Readiness, Ad Extensions, Brand Protection)\\n- Meta Ads Setup (Business Manager Foundation, Pixel & Tracking, Domain & Aggregated Events, Audience Setup, Catalog, Creative Assets, Compliance)\\n- LinkedIn Ads Setup (Campaign Manager Foundation, Insight Tag & Tracking, Audience Setup, Lead Gen Forms, Document Ads, Creative Assets, Budget Considerations)\\n- Twitter/X Ads Setup (Account Foundation, Tracking, Audience Setup, Creative)\\n- TikTok Ads Setup (Account Foundation, Pixel & Tracking, Audience Setup, Creative)\\n- Universal Pre-Launch Checklist\\n\\n## Google Ads Setup\\n\\n### Account Foundation\\n\\n- [ ] Google Ads account created and verified\\n- [ ] Billing information added\\n- [ ] Time zone and currency set correctly\\n- [ ] Account access granted to team members\\n\\n### Conversion Tracking\\n\\n- [ ] Google tag installed on all pages\\n- [ ] Conversion actions created (purchase, lead, signup)\\n- [ ] Conversion values assigned (if applicable)\\n- [ ] Enhanced conversions enabled\\n- [ ] Test conversions firing correctly\\n- [ ] Import conversions from GA4 (optional)\\n\\n### Analytics Integration\\n\\n- [ ] Google Analytics 4 linked\\n- [ ] Auto-tagging enabled\\n- [ ] GA4 audiences available in Google Ads\\n- [ ] Cross-domain tracking set up (if multiple domains)\\n\\n### Audience Setup\\n\\n- [ ] Remarketing tag verified\\n- [ ] Website visitor audiences created:\\n -

This guide covers what matters for getting cited on each one.\\n\\nSources cited throughout: Princeton GEO study (KDD 2024), SE Ranking domain authority study, ZipTie content-answer fit analysis.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## The Fundamentals\\n\\nEvery AI platform shares three baseline requirements:\\n\\n1. **Your content must be in their index** — Each platform uses a different search backend (Google, Bing, Brave, or their own). If you're not indexed, you can't be cited.\\n2. **Your content must be crawlable** — AI bots need access via robots.txt. Block the bot, lose the citation.\\n3. **Your content must be extractable** — AI systems pull passages, not pages. Clear structure and self-contained paragraphs win.\\n\\nBeyond these basics, each platform weights different signals. Here's what matters and where.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Google AI Overviews\\n\\nGoogle AI Overviews pull from Google's own index and lean heavily on E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). They appear in roughly 45% of Google searches.\\n\\n**What makes Google AI Overviews different:** They already have your traditional SEO signals — backlinks, page authority, topical relevance. The additional AI layer adds a preference for content with cited sources and structured data. Research shows that including authoritative citations in your content correlates with a 132% visibility boost, and writing with an authoritative (not salesy) tone adds another 89%.\\n\\n**Importantly, AI Overviews don't just recycle the traditional Top 10.** Only about 15% of AI Overview sources overlap with conventional organic results. Pages that wouldn't crack page 1 in traditional search can still get cited if they have strong structured data and clear, extractable answers.\\n\\n**What to focus on:**\\n- Schema markup is the single biggest lever — Article, FAQPage, HowTo, and Product schemas give AI Overviews structured context to work with (30-40% visibility boost)\\n- Build topical authority through content clusters with strong internal linking\\n- Include named, sourced citations in your content (not just claims)\\n- Author bios with real credentials matter — E-E-A-T is weighted heavily\\n- Get into Google's Knowledge Graph where possible (an accurate Wikipedia entry helps)\\n- Target \\\"how to\\\" and \\\"what is\\\" query patterns — these trigger AI Overviews most often\\n\\n---\\n\\n## ChatGPT\\n\\nChatGPT's web search draws from a Bing-based index. It combines this with its training knowledge to generate answers, then cites the web sources it relied on.\\n\\n**What makes ChatGPT different:** Domain authority matters more here than on other AI platforms. An SE Ranking analysis of 129,000 domains found that authority and credibility signals account for roughly 40% of what determines citation, with content quality at about 35% and platform trust at 25%. Sites with very high referring domain counts (350K+) average 8.4 citations per response, while sites with slightly lower trust scores (91-96 vs 97-100) drop from 8.4 to 6 citations.\\n\\n**Freshness is a major differentiator.** Content updated within the last 30 days gets cited about 3.2x more often than older content. ChatGPT clearly favors recent information.\\n\\n**The most important signal is content-answer fit** — a ZipTie analysis of 400,000 pages found that how well your content's style and structure matches ChatGPT's own response format accounts for about 55% of citation likelihood. This is far more important than domain authority (12%) or on-page structure (14%) alone. Write the way ChatGPT would answer the question, and you're more likely to be the source it cites.\\n\\n**Where ChatGPT looks beyond your site:** Wikipedia accounts for 7.8% of all ChatGPT citations, Reddit for 1.8%, and Forbes for 1.1%. Brand official sites are cited frequently but third-party mentions carry significant weight.\\n\\n**What to focus on:**\\n- Invest in backlinks and domain authority — it's the strongest baseline signal\\n- Update competitive content at least monthly\\n- Structure your content the way ChatGPT structures its answers (conversational, direct, well-organized)\\n- Include verifiable statistics with named sources\\n- Clean heading hierarchy (H1 > H2 > H3) with descriptive headings\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Perplexity\\n\\nPerplexity always cites its sources with clickable links, making it the most transparent AI search platform. It combines its own index with Google's and runs results through multiple reranking passes — initial relevance retrieval, then traditional ranking factor scoring, then ML-based quality evaluation that can discard entire result sets if they don't meet quality thresholds.\\n\\n**What makes Perplexity different:** It's the most \\\"research-oriented\\\" AI search engine, and its citation behavior reflects that. Perplexity maintains curated lists of authoritative domains (Amazon, GitHub, major academic sites) that get inherent ranking boosts. It uses a time-decay algorithm that evaluates new content quickly, giving fresh publishers a real shot at citation.\\n\\n**Perplexity has unique content preferences:**\\n- **FAQ Schema (JSON-LD)** — Pages with FAQ structured data get cited noticeably more often\\n- **PDF documents** — Publicly accessible PDFs (whitepapers, research reports) are prioritized. If you have authoritative PDF content gated behind a form, consider making a version public.\\n- **Publishing velocity** — How frequently you publish matters more than keyword targeting\\n- **Self-contained paragraphs** — Perplexity prefers atomic, semantically complete paragraphs it can extract cleanly\\n\\n**What to focus on:**\\n- Allow PerplexityBot in robots.txt\\n- Implement FAQPage schema on any page with Q&A content\\n- Host PDF resources publicly (whitepapers, guides, reports)\\n- Add Article schema with publication and modification timestamps\\n- Write in clear, self-contained paragraphs that work as standalone answers\\n- Build deep topical authority in your specific niche\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Microsoft Copilot\\n\\nCopilot is embedded across Microsoft's ecosystem — Edge, Windows, Microsoft 365, and Bing Search. It relies entirely on Bing's index, so if Bing hasn't indexed your content, Copilot can't cite it.\\n\\n**What makes Copilot different:** The Microsoft ecosystem connection creates unique optimization opportunities. Mentions and content on LinkedIn and GitHub provide ranking boosts that other platforms don't offer. Copilot also puts more weight on page speed — sub-2-second load times are a clear threshold.\\n\\n**What to focus on:**\\n- Submit your site to Bing Webmaster Tools (many sites only submit to Google Search Console)\\n- Use IndexNow protocol for faster indexing of new and updated content\\n- Optimize page speed to under 2 seconds\\n- Write clear entity definitions — when your content defines a term or concept, make the definition explicit and extractable\\n- Build presence on LinkedIn (publish articles, maintain company page) and GitHub if relevant\\n- Ensure Bingbot has full crawl access\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Claude\\n\\nClaude uses Brave Search as its search backend when web search is enabled — not Google, not Bing. This is a completely different index, which means your Brave Search visibility directly determines whether Claude can find and cite you.\\n\\n**What makes Claude different:** Claude is extremely selective about what it cites. While it processes enormous amounts of content, its citation rate is very low — it's looking for the most factually accurate, well-sourced content on a given topic. Data-rich content with specific numbers and clear attribution performs significantly better than general-purpose content.\\n\\n**What to focus on:**\\n- Verify your content appears in Brave Search results (search for your brand and key terms at search.brave.com)\\n- Allow ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai user agents in robots.txt\\n- Maximize factual density — specific numbers, named sources, dated statistics\\n- Use clear, extractable structure with descriptive headings\\n- Cite authoritative sources within your content\\n- Aim to be the most factually accurate source on your topic — Claude rewards precision\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Allowing AI Bots in robots.txt\\n\\nIf your robots.txt blocks an AI bot, that platform can't cite your content. Here are the user agents to allow:\\n\\n```\\nUser-agent: GPTBot # OpenAI — powers ChatGPT search\\nUser-agent: ChatGPT-User # ChatGPT browsing mode\\nUser-agent: PerplexityBot # Perplexity AI search\\nUser-agent: ClaudeBot # Anthropic Claude\\nUser-agent: anthropic-ai # Anthropic Claude (alternate)\\nUser-agent: Google-Extended # Google Gemini and AI Overviews\\nUser-agent: Bingbot # Microsoft Copilot (via Bing)\\nAllow: /\\n```\\n\\n**Training vs. search:** Some AI bots are used for both model training and search citation. If you want to be cited but don't want your content used for training, your options are limited — GPTBot handles both for OpenAI. However, you can safely block **CCBot** (Common Crawl) without affecting any AI search citations, since it's only used for training dataset collection.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Where to Start\\n\\nIf you're optimizing for AI search for the first time, focus your effort where your audience actually is:\\n\\n**Start with Google AI Overviews** — They reach the most users (45%+ of Google searches) and you likely already have Google SEO foundations in place. Add schema markup, include cited sources in your content, and strengthen E-E-A-T signals.\\n\\n**Then address ChatGPT** — It's the most-used standalone AI search tool for tech and business audiences. Focus on freshness (update content monthly), domain authority, and matching your content structure to how ChatGPT formats its responses.\\n\\n**Then expand to Perplexity** — Especially valuable if your audience includes researchers, early adopters, or tech professionals. Add FAQ schema, publish PDF resources, and write in clear, self-contained paragraphs.\\n\\n**Copilot and Claude are lower priority** unless your audience skews enterprise/Microsoft (Copilot) or developer/analyst (Claude). But the fundamentals — structured content, cited sources, schema markup — help across all platforms.\\n\\n**Actions that help everywhere:**\\n1. Allow all AI bots in robots.txt\\n2. Implement schema markup (FAQPage, Article, Organization at minimum)\\n3. Include statistics with named sources in your content\\n4. Update content regularly — monthly for competitive topics\\n5. Use clear heading structure (H1 > H2 > H3)\\n6. Keep page load time under 2 seconds\\n7. Add author bios with credentials\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"analytics\",\"ref\":\"event-library\",\"body\":\"# Event Library Reference\\n\\nComprehensive list of events to track by business type and

communities\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Visual Patterns\\n\\n### Talking Head\\n- Good lighting (ring light or window light)\\n- Eye contact with camera\\n- Hand gestures for emphasis\\n- Interesting background (bookshelf, plants, studio setup)\\n\\n### Slideshow/Carousel Video\\n- Strong visual on each slide (2-4 seconds per slide)\\n- Text overlays with key points\\n- Consistent style/branding\\n- Voiceover or trending sound\\n\\n### Screen Recording\\n- Zoom in on important areas\\n- Add cursor highlight or click animations\\n- Keep movements smooth and intentional\\n- Overlay your face in corner (optional but boosts engagement)\\n\\n### B-Roll Heavy\\n- Show don't tell\\n- Quick cuts (1-3 seconds per shot)\\n- Match cuts to voiceover beats\\n- Mix wide, medium, and close-up shots\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Audio Strategy\\n\\n### When to Use Trending Sounds\\n- Entertainment/lifestyle content where the sound fits your message\\n- When the trend is still rising (check platform trending pages)\\n- Don't use when it distracts from your message or is already declining\\n\\n### When to Use Original Audio\\n- Educational content where you're speaking\\n- Storytimes and personal narratives\\n- Product demos and tutorials\\n- Building a recognizable brand voice\\n\\n### Voiceover Tips\\n- Speak slightly faster than normal conversation\\n- Vary your tone — avoid monotone delivery\\n- Pause for emphasis on key points\\n- Record in a quiet space, use noise removal\\n- AI voices work for faceless content (ElevenLabs, etc.)\\n\\n### Music Selection\\n- Match energy to content (upbeat for tips, emotional for stories)\\n- Avoid copyrighted music on Reels/Shorts\\n- Use platform music libraries for safety\\n- Lower music volume under voiceover (ducking)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Posting Strategy\\n\\n### Optimal Posting Times (test your audience)\\n\\n| Platform | Best Times (local) |\\n|----------|-------------------|\\n| TikTok | 7-9 AM, 12-3 PM, 7-11 PM |\\n| Reels | 9 AM, 12 PM, 7-9 PM |\\n| Shorts | 12-3 PM, 7-9 PM |\\n\\n### Frequency Recommendations\\n\\n| Goal | Minimum | Optimal |\\n|------|---------|---------|\\n| Growing | 1/day | 2-4/day |\\n| Maintaining | 3/week | 1/day |\\n| Testing | 2/week | 5/week |\\n\\n### Batch Creation Workflow\\n\\n1. **Ideate** (30 min): Generate 10-20 concepts\\n2. **Script** (1 hour): Write scripts for 5-10 videos\\n3. **Batch film** (2 hours): Record all talking head content\\n4. **Edit** (2-3 hours): Edit and add captions\\n5. **Schedule** (30 min): Queue for optimal times\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Analytics & Iteration\\n\\n### Metrics That Matter\\n\\n| Metric | What It Tells You |\\n|--------|-------------------|\\n| Watch time % | Is content engaging throughout? |\\n| Completion rate | Did hook + content deliver? |\\n| Saves | Is content valuable enough to revisit? |\\n| Shares | Is content worth spreading? |\\n| Comments | Did content spark conversation? |\\n| Follows | Did viewer want more from you? |\\n\\n### What to Test\\n\\n1. **Hooks**: Same content, different opening\\n2. **Length**: 15 sec vs 30 sec vs 60 sec\\n3. **Format**: Talking head vs slideshow vs demo\\n4. **Time**: Morning vs afternoon vs evening\\n5. **CTA**: Different calls to action\\n\\n### When to Pivot\\n\\n- 5+ videos with <1% completion rate → change hooks\\n- High views but low follows → check CTA and content-audience fit\\n- High saves but low shares → content is valuable but not social\\n- Lots of comments but negative → lean into controversy or adjust tone\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"video\",\"ref\":\"ai-video-prompting\",\"body\":\"# AI Video Prompting Guide\\n\\nHow to write effective prompts for AI video generation models (Veo, Runway, Kling, Pika).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Prompt Structure\\n\\nA strong video prompt follows this formula:\\n\\n```\\n[Subject] + [Action] + [Camera movement] + [Visual style] + [Lighting/mood] + [Technical specs]\\n```\\n\\n### Example Prompts by Use Case\\n\\n**Product hero shot:**\\n```\\nA sleek laptop on a minimal white desk, screen glowing with a dashboard UI,\\ncamera slowly orbits 180 degrees around the desk,\\nsoft volumetric lighting from the left, shallow depth of field,\\ncinematic commercial aesthetic, 4K\\n```\\n\\n**Lifestyle B-roll:**\\n```\\nA woman in a modern co-working space smiling while looking at her phone,\\nnatural window light, candid documentary feel,\\ncamera handheld with subtle movement, warm color grading\\n```\\n\\n**Abstract/brand:**\\n```\\nFlowing liquid gold particles forming the shape of a network graph,\\ndark background, particles catch light as they move,\\nslow-motion macro photography style, dramatic rim lighting\\n```\\n\\n**SaaS explainer scene:**\\n```\\nAn overhead shot of a team around a conference table pointing at charts,\\ncamera slowly pushes in, bright modern office,\\nclean corporate style, even lighting, 1080p\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Camera Movement Vocabulary\\n\\nUse these terms — video models understand them:\\n\\n| Term | Effect |\\n|------|--------|\\n| **Static** | Locked camera, no movement |\\n| **Pan left/right** | Camera rotates horizontally |\\n| **Tilt up/down** | Camera rotates vertically |\\n| **Dolly in/out** | Camera moves toward/away from subject |\\n| **Orbit** | Camera circles around subject |\\n| **Tracking shot** | Camera follows moving subject |\\n| **Crane/aerial** | Camera rises or descends |\\n| **Handheld** | Subtle shake, documentary feel |\\n| **Zoom** | Lens zoom (different from dolly) |\\n| **Slow push** | Gradual dolly in — builds tension/focus |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Style Keywords\\n\\n### Cinematic\\n- \\\"cinematic color grading\\\"\\n- \\\"anamorphic lens flare\\\"\\n- \\\"shallow depth of field\\\"\\n- \\\"film grain\\\"\\n- \\\"35mm film\\\"\\n\\n### Commercial/Corporate\\n- \\\"clean commercial lighting\\\"\\n- \\\"bright and airy\\\"\\n- \\\"professional corporate aesthetic\\\"\\n- \\\"even, diffused lighting\\\"\\n\\n### Documentary\\n- \\\"handheld documentary style\\\"\\n- \\\"natural lighting\\\"\\n- \\\"candid, unposed\\\"\\n- \\\"observational camera\\\"\\n\\n### Social/Trendy\\n- \\\"vertical 9:16\\\"\\n- \\\"fast-paced cuts\\\"\\n- \\\"bold text overlays\\\"\\n- \\\"high contrast, saturated colors\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Model-Specific Tips\\n\\n### Veo (Google)\\n\\n- Excels at photorealism and complex scenes\\n- Supports audio generation synced to video\\n- Best with detailed, descriptive prompts\\n- Specify \\\"high resolution\\\" or \\\"1080p\\\" for best quality\\n- Can handle multiple subjects and scene transitions\\n\\n### Runway Gen-4\\n\\n- Strong motion control — specify camera movements precisely\\n- Best temporal consistency (subjects stay consistent across frames)\\n- Use motion brush for specific area animation\\n- Image-to-video works well — provide a reference frame\\n- Keep prompts under 100 words for best results\\n\\n### Kling\\n\\n- Can generate up to 2 minutes (much longer than others)\\n- Good for longer narrative sequences\\n- More affordable for bulk generation\\n- Quality drops slightly at longer durations\\n- Best with simpler scenes and fewer subjects\\n\\n### Pika\\n\\n- Fastest generation time (under 2 minutes)\\n- Good for quick iterations and experimentation\\n- Effects mode adds motion to still images\\n- Best for short clips (5-15 seconds)\\n- Less control over camera movement\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Common Prompt Mistakes\\n\\n| Mistake | Why It Fails | Fix |\\n|---------|-------------|-----|\\n| \\\"A person using our app\\\" | Too vague, no visual detail | Describe the person, setting, lighting, camera |\\n| Including text/logos | AI can't render readable text | Add text in post via Hyperframes/CapCut |\\n| \\\"Make it viral\\\" | Not a visual instruction | Describe the visual style you want |\\n| Extremely long prompts (200+ words) | Models lose focus | Keep to 50-100 words, be specific |\\n| No camera direction | Random/static camera | Always specify movement or \\\"static\\\" |\\n| \\\"Realistic\\\" alone | Not specific enough | \\\"Photorealistic, natural lighting, shot on RED camera\\\" |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Prompting Workflow\\n\\n1. **Reference first** — find a real video that looks like what you want\\n2. **Describe it** — break down: subject, action, camera, style, mood\\n3. **Generate 3-4 variations** — same concept, different angles or styles\\n4. **Iterate on the best** — refine the prompt based on results\\n5. **Composite** — combine AI footage with programmatic text/overlays\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Aspect Ratios\\n\\nAlways specify in your prompt or generation settings:\\n\\n| Platform | Ratio | Resolution |\\n|----------|-------|-----------|\\n| YouTube | 16:9 | 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 |\\n| TikTok/Reels/Shorts | 9:16 | 1080x1920 |\\n| Instagram Feed | 1:1 or 4:5 | 1080x1080 or 1080x1350 |\\n| Website hero | 16:9 | 1920x1080 |\\n| LinkedIn | 16:9 or 1:1 | 1920x1080 |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Cost Optimization\\n\\n- **Iterate at low resolution** — upscale only the final version\\n- **Use Kling for drafts** — cheapest per second, switch to Veo/Runway for finals\\n- **Image-to-video** — providing a reference frame saves generation credits and gives better results\\n- **Batch similar prompts** — models often offer volume discounts\\n- **Cache and reuse** — B-roll clips can be reused across multiple videos\\n\"}\n];\n",[],[363,603,661],"f8335e6c-5d6d-11f1-ae60-1607ee4eb77e","ref_15.ts","f8335f5c-5d6d-11f1-ae60-1607ee4eb77e",659,["D",1780286232202],"// GENERATED by deploy/gen_skills_catalog.mjs —

The FCC enforces it; private plaintiffs sue under it. Statutory damages: $500–$1,500 **per message**. Class actions easily reach 7–8 figures.\\n\\n### Consent tiers\\n\\n| Type | What it covers | How to capture |\\n|------|---------------|----------------|\\n| **Express written consent** | Marketing SMS (sales, promotions, offers) | Checkbox + clear disclosure language, captured electronically with timestamp |\\n| **Express consent (non-written)** | Informational/transactional (delivery, account alerts) | Phone number provided during transaction with awareness it'll be used to text |\\n| **Established business relationship** | NOT sufficient for marketing SMS | Doesn't apply |\\n\\n### Express written consent requirements\\n\\nThe opt-in flow must capture all of:\\n\\n1.

Often means they don't yet see enough value to justify the cost.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Don't defend the price immediately. Ask \\\"Compared to what?\\\"\\n2. Reframe from cost to investment — what does the problem cost them today?\\n3. Walk through the ROI calculation together\\n4. If budget is real, explore smaller starting points\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"I hear that. Let me ask — what's the cost of the problem we discussed? You mentioned your team spends [X hours] on [task] every week. At your team's loaded cost, that's roughly [$ amount] per year. Our solution runs [$ price] — so the question is whether eliminating that problem is worth the investment.\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** ROI calculator or case study showing payback period.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"If the ROI was clear, is this something you'd prioritize this quarter?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"We don't have budget for this\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Budget may genuinely be allocated. Or they haven't identified budget because priority isn't established.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Validate — budget constraints are real\\n2. Understand timing — when does budget cycle reset?\\n3. Explore alternatives — pilot, smaller scope, different budget line\\n4. Help them build the business case to create budget\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"Totally understand. Two questions: When does your next budget cycle open? And — if we could show clear ROI with a limited pilot, is that something you could fund from a different line item? Sometimes teams fund this from the efficiency savings it creates.\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Customer who started with a small pilot and expanded after proving ROI.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"Would it help if I put together an ROI brief you could share with your finance team?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"Competitor X is cheaper\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** They're comparing prices, possibly without comparing capabilities. May be using competitor price as leverage.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Acknowledge the price difference — don't pretend it doesn't exist\\n2. Shift to total cost of ownership and value delivered\\n3. Highlight what they lose at the lower price point\\n4. Share proof from customers who evaluated both\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"You're right, [Competitor] is less expensive. Here's what I've seen from teams who evaluated both: [Competitor] works well for [their strength]. Where it falls short is [specific gap]. Customers like [name] actually switched to us after starting with [Competitor] because [specific reason]. The question is whether [specific capability] is worth the difference for your team.\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Customer who switched from the competitor, with specific reasons.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"What's most important to your team — the lowest price or the best fit for [their specific need]?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Timing Objections\\n\\n#### \\\"Not the right time\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Competing priorities, organizational change, genuine capacity constraint, or lack of urgency.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Understand what's competing for their attention\\n2. Quantify the cost of waiting\\n3. Explore low-commitment next steps that keep momentum\\n4. Set a concrete follow-up date\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"I get it — timing matters. Can I ask what's taking priority right now? The reason I bring up timing is that every month of [problem], based on our earlier conversation, costs your team roughly [$ amount]. A 3-month delay is [$ amount]. What if we mapped out a start date that works with your calendar so you're not losing that value?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Cost-of-delay calculation based on their specific numbers.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"What would need to change for this to move up in priority?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"Maybe next quarter\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Genuine scheduling, or a polite way of saying \\\"not interested enough right now.\\\"\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Accept the timeline gracefully\\n2. Propose a small action now that maintains momentum\\n3. Get a specific date for follow-up\\n4. Send value in the meantime (content, benchmarks, insights)\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"Next quarter works. To make sure we hit the ground running, would it make sense to do [small next step] now? That way when Q[X] starts, you're not starting from scratch. I'll also send over [relevant content] in the meantime. Can we lock in [specific date] to reconnect?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Customer who started the evaluation process early and was live by their target date.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"Is there anything I can send between now and then that would be helpful?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Competition Objections\\n\\n#### \\\"We already use X\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** They have an existing solution and switching has real costs. May be satisfied, or may have frustrations they haven't voiced.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Don't trash the competitor — ask how it's working\\n2. Probe for specific pain points with their current solution\\n3. Position as complementary if possible, replacement if not\\n4. Offer a side-by-side comparison or trial\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"How's that working for you? Specifically, when it comes to [area where you're stronger] — is that meeting your needs? The reason I ask is that most teams who come to us from [Competitor] tell us [specific pain point] was the tipping point. Not saying that's you, but worth exploring.\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Customer who switched from that specific competitor.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"If you could change one thing about your current setup, what would it be?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"What makes you different?\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** They're evaluating options and want a clear differentiator. Sometimes a genuine question, sometimes a test.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Don't list features — give the one thing that matters most for their situation\\n2. Tie the differentiator to their specific pain\\n3. Back it up with proof\\n4. Offer to show, not just tell\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"For teams like yours — [their industry/size/use case] — the biggest difference is [specific differentiator]. That matters because [connection to their pain]. For example, [Customer] was evaluating us alongside [Competitor] and chose us because [specific reason]. Want me to walk you through how that works?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Case study of a customer who chose you over alternatives.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"What's the most important criteria for your decision?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Authority Objections\\n\\n#### \\\"I need to check with my boss\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** They may not be the decision maker, or they need internal buy-in to proceed. Could also be a stall tactic.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Support them, don't pressure them\\n2. Arm them with materials to sell internally\\n3. Offer to join a meeting with their boss\\n4. Understand what their boss cares about\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"Absolutely — what would help you make the case? I can put together a one-pager that covers the ROI and addresses the concerns your boss is likely to have. Also happy to jump on a quick call with them if that would be helpful. What does your boss typically prioritize — cost savings, risk reduction, or efficiency?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Champion enablement one-pager, ROI calculator.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"What questions do you think your boss will ask?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"A committee decides this\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Enterprise buying involves multiple stakeholders. Genuine process, not a brush-off.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Map the buying committee — who's involved and what each person cares about\\n2. Provide persona-specific materials\\n3. Offer to present to the committee\\n4. Help your champion navigate the internal process\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"That makes sense. Can you walk me through who's on the committee and what each person cares about? I can tailor materials for each stakeholder so you're not doing all the heavy lifting. I've also got a deck designed for executive presentations if that would be useful.\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Multi-stakeholder case study showing how different personas were addressed.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"Who on the committee is most likely to push back, and what would their concern be?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Status Quo Objections\\n\\n#### \\\"What we have works fine\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Inertia is real. The current solution may be adequate, and change has real costs.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Agree — don't argue with their experience\\n2. Shift from \\\"broken vs. fixed\\\" to \\\"good vs. great\\\"\\n3. Introduce the concept of opportunity cost\\n4. Show what peers are achieving\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"It probably does work — and I wouldn't suggest changing something that's truly meeting your needs. The question I'd ask is: is 'works fine' the bar? Teams using [your product] are seeing [specific outcome]. If you're leaving [X% improvement] on the table, is that worth exploring?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Benchmark data showing what's possible vs. status quo.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"If there were one area where your current approach could be better, what would it be?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Technical Objections\\n\\n#### \\\"Does it integrate with X?\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Integration is a real requirement. They need to know your product fits their stack.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Answer directly — yes, no, or \\\"let me check\\\"\\n2. If yes, provide specifics (native, API, Zapier, etc.)\\n3. If no, explain alternatives or workarounds\\n4. Never bluff — they'll find out during evaluation\\n\\n**Talk track (if yes):**\\n> \\\"Yes, we integrate with [X] natively. It takes about [time] to set up. [Customer] runs the same stack and here's how they have it configured.\\\"\\n\\n**Talk track (if no):**\\n> \\\"We don't have a native integration with [X] today. Here's what customers typically do: [alternative]. We also have an open API that [description]. Would it help to get our technical team on a call to explore options?\\\"\\n\\n**Proof point:** Customer using the same tech stack, integration documentation.\\n\\n**Follow-up question:** \\\"What other tools are in your stack that we'd need to work with?\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n#### \\\"We have security concerns\\\"\\n\\n**Why they say it:** Legitimate concern, especially in regulated industries or enterprise. Non-negotiable for many buyers.\\n\\n**Response approach:**\\n1. Take it seriously — never dismiss security concerns\\n2. Provide documentation proactively (SOC 2, security whitepaper)\\n3. Offer to loop in your security team\\n4. Ask about their specific requirements\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"That's exactly the right question to ask. Here's our security overview — we're [SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 / etc.] certified, and I can share our full security documentation. We also have a security team that's happy to do a review call with your infosec team.

Instead, give each page its own canonical URL.\\\" Each paginated page in each locale gets self-referencing canonical. `rel=\\\"next/prev\\\"` deprecated March 2019.\\n\\n- [Google: Pagination Best Practices](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/ecommerce/pagination-and-incremental-page-loading)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## International Sitemaps\\n\\n### Structure\\n\\nEach `` entry includes `` alternates for every locale. Requires `xmlns:xhtml=\\\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\\\"` namespace.\\n\\nSplit sitemaps by content type, not by locale. Splitting by locale creates maintenance problems because every locale sitemap must reference every other locale (reciprocal requirement).\\n\\n- [Google Search Central: Localized Versions](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/localized-versions)\\n- [Lumar: How Google Handles Hreflang](https://www.lumar.io/office-hours/hreflang/)\\n\\n### Size Limits\\n\\n50,000 URLs / 50MB uncompressed per sitemap. Only `` elements count toward the 50K limit. But with 20 hreflang alternates per entry, the 50MB file size limit becomes the bottleneck.

MQL Alert and Assignment\\n\\n**Name:** MQL Notification and Task Creation\\n**Trigger:** Contact property \\\"Lifecycle Stage\\\" is changed to \\\"Marketing Qualified Lead\\\"\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Rotate contact owner among sales team (round-robin)\\n2. Send internal email notification to contact owner with lead context\\n3. Create task: \\\"Follow up with [Contact Name]\\\" — due in 4 hours\\n4. Send Slack notification to #sales-alerts channel\\n5. Enroll in \\\"MQL Follow-Up\\\" sequence (if using HubSpot Sequences)\\n**Outcome:** Every MQL gets assigned instantly with a clear SLA\\n**Notes:** Set enrollment criteria to exclude leads already owned by a rep\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 2. MQL SLA Escalation\\n\\n**Name:** MQL SLA Breach Alert\\n**Trigger:** Contact property \\\"Lifecycle Stage\\\" equals \\\"MQL\\\" AND \\\"Days since last contacted\\\" is greater than 0.5 (12 hours)\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Send internal email to contact owner: \\\"SLA warning: [Contact Name] has not been contacted\\\"\\n2. If still no activity after 24 hours → send alert to sales manager\\n3. If still no activity after 48 hours → reassign contact owner via rotation\\n4. Create task for new owner: \\\"Urgent: Contact [Contact Name] — reassigned due to SLA breach\\\"\\n**Outcome:** No MQL goes unworked for more than 48 hours\\n**Notes:** Exclude contacts where last activity type is \\\"Call\\\" or \\\"Meeting\\\" (already engaged)\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 3. Lead Scoring Update and MQL Promotion\\n\\n**Name:** Auto-MQL on Score Threshold\\n**Trigger:** Contact property \\\"HubSpot Score\\\" is greater than or equal to 65\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Set lifecycle stage to \\\"Marketing Qualified Lead\\\"\\n2. Set \\\"MQL Date\\\" to current date\\n3. Suppress from marketing nurture workflows\\n4. Trigger MQL Alert workflow (recipe #1)\\n**Outcome:** Leads automatically promote to MQL when they hit the scoring threshold\\n**Notes:** Add suppression list for existing customers and competitors\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 4. Meeting Booked Notification\\n\\n**Name:** Meeting Booked Alert to AE\\n**Trigger:** Meeting activity is logged for contact (via Calendly/HubSpot meetings)\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Send internal email to contact owner with meeting details\\n2. Update contact property \\\"Last Meeting Booked\\\" to current date\\n3. If lifecycle stage is \\\"Lead\\\" → update to \\\"MQL\\\"\\n4. Create task: \\\"Prepare for meeting with [Contact Name]\\\" — due 1 hour before meeting\\n5. Send Slack notification to #meetings channel\\n**Outcome:** AEs are prepared for every meeting with full context\\n**Notes:** Include recent page views and content downloads in notification email\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 5. Closed-Won Handoff to CS\\n\\n**Name:** Customer Onboarding Trigger\\n**Trigger:** Deal stage is changed to \\\"Closed Won\\\"\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Update associated contact lifecycle stage to \\\"Customer\\\"\\n2. Set \\\"Customer Since\\\" date to current date\\n3. Assign contact owner to CS team member (based on segment/territory)\\n4. Create task for CS: \\\"Schedule kickoff call with [Company Name]\\\" — due in 2 business days\\n5. Enroll contact in \\\"Customer Onboarding\\\" email sequence\\n6. Send internal notification to CS manager\\n7. Remove from all sales sequences\\n**Outcome:** Seamless handoff from sales to customer success\\n**Notes:** Include deal notes, contract value, and key stakeholders in CS notification\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 6. Stale Deal Alert\\n\\n**Name:** Pipeline Hygiene — Stale Deal Detection\\n**Trigger:** Deal property \\\"Days in current stage\\\" is greater than [2x average for that stage]\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Send internal email to deal owner: \\\"Deal stale alert: [Deal Name] has been in [Stage] for [X] days\\\"\\n2. Create task: \\\"Update or close [Deal Name]\\\" — due in 3 business days\\n3. If no update after 7 days → alert sales manager\\n4. Add to \\\"Stale Deals\\\" dashboard list\\n**Outcome:** Pipeline stays clean and forecast stays accurate\\n**Notes:** Customize thresholds per stage (Discovery: 14 days, Proposal: 10 days, Negotiation: 21 days)\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 7. Recycled Lead Nurture Re-Entry\\n\\n**Name:** MQL Recycling to Nurture\\n**Trigger:** Contact property \\\"Sales Rejection Reason\\\" is known (any value)\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Update lifecycle stage to \\\"Recycled\\\"\\n2. Reset engagement score to baseline (keep fit score)\\n3. Enroll in \\\"Recycled Lead Nurture\\\" sequence (lower frequency)\\n4. Set \\\"Recycle Date\\\" to current date\\n5. Set re-enrollment trigger: if HubSpot Score exceeds threshold again, re-trigger MQL workflow\\n**Outcome:** Rejected leads get a second chance without clogging the pipeline\\n**Notes:** Track recycled-to-MQL conversion rate as a separate metric\\n\\n---\\n\\n### 8. Lead Activity Digest\\n\\n**Name:** Daily Lead Activity Summary\\n**Trigger:** Scheduled — daily at 8:00 AM local time\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Filter contacts: lifecycle stage is \\\"SQL\\\" or \\\"Opportunity\\\" AND had website activity in last 24 hours\\n2. Send digest email to each contact owner with their leads' activity\\n3. Include: pages visited, content downloaded, emails opened/clicked\\n**Outcome:** Sales reps start each day knowing which leads are active\\n**Notes:** Only include leads with meaningful activity (exclude single homepage visits)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Salesforce Flow Equivalents\\n\\n### 1. MQL Alert and Assignment (Salesforce Flow)\\n\\n**Type:** Record-Triggered Flow\\n**Object:** Lead\\n**Trigger:** Lead field \\\"Status\\\" is changed to \\\"MQL\\\"\\n**Flow steps:**\\n1. Get Records: Query \\\"Rep Assignment\\\" custom object for next available rep\\n2. Update Records: Set Lead Owner to assigned rep\\n3. Create Records: Create Task — \\\"Contact MQL: {Lead.Name}\\\" with due date = NOW + 4 hours\\n4. Action: Send email alert to new lead owner\\n5. Update Records: Update \\\"Rep Assignment\\\" last-assigned timestamp\\n**Notes:** Use a custom \\\"Rep Assignment\\\" object to manage round-robin state\\n\\n### 2. SLA Escalation (Salesforce Flow)\\n\\n**Type:** Scheduled-Triggered Flow\\n**Schedule:** Every 4 hours during business hours\\n**Flow steps:**\\n1. Get Records: Leads where Status = \\\"MQL\\\" AND LastActivityDate < TODAY - 1\\n2. Decision: Is lead older than 48 hours with no activity?\\n - YES → Reassign to next rep, create urgent task, alert manager\\n - NO → Send reminder email to current owner\\n**Notes:** Pair with Process Builder for real-time alerts on initial assignment\\n\\n### 3. Pipeline Stage Automation (Salesforce Flow)\\n\\n**Type:** Record-Triggered Flow\\n**Object:** Opportunity\\n**Trigger:** Stage field is updated\\n**Flow steps:**\\n1. Decision: Which stage was it changed to?\\n2. For each stage:\\n - **Discovery:** Create task \\\"Complete discovery questionnaire\\\"\\n - **Demo:** Create task \\\"Prepare demo environment\\\"\\n - **Proposal:** Create task \\\"Send proposal\\\" + alert deal desk if ACV > $25K\\n - **Closed Won:** Trigger CS handoff (create Case, assign CS owner, send welcome email)\\n - **Closed Lost:** Create task \\\"Log loss reason\\\" + add to win/loss analysis report\\n\\n### 4. Stale Deal Detection (Salesforce Flow)\\n\\n**Type:** Scheduled-Triggered Flow\\n**Schedule:** Daily at 7:00 AM\\n**Flow steps:**\\n1. Get Records: Open Opportunities where Days_In_Stage > Stage_SLA_Threshold\\n2. Loop through results:\\n - Create Task: \\\"Update stale deal: {Opportunity.Name}\\\"\\n - Send email to Opportunity Owner\\n - If Days_In_Stage > 2x threshold → send email to Owner's Manager\\n3. Update custom field \\\"Stale Flag\\\" = true for dashboard visibility\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Calendly / SavvyCal Integration Patterns\\n\\n### Round-Robin Meeting Scheduling\\n\\n**Calendly setup:**\\n1. Create a team event type with all eligible reps\\n2. Distribution: \\\"Optimize for equal distribution\\\"\\n3. Availability: Each rep manages their own calendar\\n4. Buffer: 15 min before and after meetings\\n5. Minimum notice: 4 hours (avoid last-minute bookings)\\n\\n**CRM integration:**\\n1. Calendly webhook fires on booking\\n2. Match invitee email to CRM contact\\n3. If contact exists → assign meeting to contact owner (override round-robin if owned)\\n4. If new contact → create lead, assign via routing rules, log meeting\\n5. Set lifecycle stage to MQL (meeting = high intent)\\n\\n### SavvyCal Setup\\n\\n**Advantages over Calendly:**\\n- Priority-based scheduling (prefer certain time slots)\\n- Overlay calendars (show team availability in one view)\\n- Personalized booking links per rep\\n\\n**Integration pattern:**\\n1. Create team scheduling link with priority rules\\n2. Webhook on booking → Zapier/Make → CRM\\n3. Match or create contact, assign owner, create task\\n4. Send confirmation with meeting prep materials\\n\\n### Meeting Routing by Criteria\\n\\n```\\nBooking form submitted\\n├─ Company size > 500? (form field)\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to enterprise AE calendar\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n├─ Existing customer? (CRM lookup)\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to account owner's calendar\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n└─ Round-robin across SDR team\\n```\\n\\n### No-Show Workflow\\n\\n**Trigger:** Meeting time passes + no meeting notes logged within 30 minutes\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Wait 30 minutes after scheduled meeting time\\n2. Check: Was a call or meeting logged?\\n - YES → No action\\n - NO → Send \\\"Sorry we missed you\\\" email to prospect\\n3. Create task: \\\"Reschedule with [Contact Name]\\\" — due next business day\\n4. If second no-show → flag contact and alert manager\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Zapier Cross-Tool Patterns\\n\\n### 1. New Lead → CRM + Slack + Task\\n\\n**Trigger:** New form submission (Typeform, HubSpot, Webflow)\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Create/update contact in CRM\\n2. Enrich with Clearbit (if available)\\n3. Post to Slack #new-leads with enriched data\\n4. Create task in project management tool (Asana, Linear)\\n\\n### 2. Meeting Booked → CRM + Prep Email\\n\\n**Trigger:** New Calendly/SavvyCal booking\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Find or create CRM contact\\n2. Update lifecycle stage to MQL\\n3. Send prep email to assigned rep (include CRM link, LinkedIn profile, recent activity)\\n4. Create pre-meeting task\\n\\n### 3. Deal Closed → Onboarding Stack\\n\\n**Trigger:** CRM deal stage changed to \\\"Closed Won\\\"\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Create customer record in CS tool (Vitally, Gainsight, ChurnZero)\\n2. Add to onboarding project template\\n3. Send welcome email via email tool\\n4. Create Slack channel: #customer-[company-name]\\n5. Notify CS team in Slack\\n\\n### 4. Lead Scoring → Cross-Tool Sync\\n\\n**Trigger:** CRM lead score crosses MQL threshold\\n**Actions:**\\n1. Update marketing automation platform status\\n2.

**ENG-02** | Interested but bad timing | Recycle to nurture; re-engage in 60 days |\\n| **QUAL-01** | No budget | Recycle to nurture in 90 days |\\n| **QUAL-02** | Using competitor, locked in | Recycle; trigger before contract renewal |\\n| **QUAL-03** | Not a real project | Archive; do not recycle |\\n\\n### Recycling Workflow\\n\\n1. Sales rejects MQL with reason code\\n2. CRM updates lifecycle stage to \\\"Recycled\\\"\\n3. Lead enters recycling nurture sequence (different from original nurture)\\n4. Engagement score resets to baseline (keep fit score)\\n5. If lead re-engages and crosses MQL threshold, re-route to sales with \\\"Recycled MQL\\\" flag\\n6. Track recycled MQL conversion rate separately\\n\\n### Recycling Nurture Sequence\\n\\n- **Frequency:** Bi-weekly or monthly (lower frequency than initial nurture)\\n- **Content:** Industry insights, case studies, product updates\\n- **Duration:** 6 months, then archive if no engagement\\n- **Re-MQL trigger:** High-intent action (demo request, pricing page revisit)\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"revops\",\"ref\":\"routing-rules\",\"body\":\"# Lead Routing Rules\\n\\nDecision trees, platform-specific configurations, territory routing, ABM routing, and speed-to-lead benchmarks.\\n\\n## Routing Decision Tree\\n\\nUse this template to map your routing logic:\\n\\n```\\nNew Lead Arrives\\n│\\n├─ Is this a named/target account?\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to assigned account owner\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n│\\n├─ Is ACV likely > $50K? (based on company size + industry)\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to enterprise AE team\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n│\\n├─ Is this a PLG signup with team usage?\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to PLG sales specialist\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n│\\n├─ Does lead match a territory?\\n│ ├─ YES → Route to territory owner\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n│\\n└─ Default: Round-robin across available reps\\n └─ If no rep available: Assign to team queue with 1-hour SLA\\n```\\n\\nCustomize this tree for your business. The key principle: **route to the most specific match first, fall back to general.**\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Round-Robin Configuration\\n\\n### Basic Round-Robin Rules\\n\\n1. Distribute leads evenly across eligible reps\\n2. Skip reps who are on PTO, at capacity, or have a full pipeline\\n3. Weight by quota attainment (reps below quota get slight priority)\\n4. Reset distribution count weekly or monthly\\n5. Log every assignment for auditing\\n\\n### HubSpot Round-Robin Setup\\n\\n**Using HubSpot's rotation tool:**\\n- Navigate to Automation → Workflows\\n- Trigger: Contact property \\\"Lifecycle Stage\\\" equals \\\"MQL\\\"\\n- Action: Rotate contact owner among selected users\\n- Options: Even distribution, skip unavailable owners\\n- Add delay + task creation after assignment\\n\\n**Custom rotation with workflows:**\\n1. Create a custom property \\\"Rotation Counter\\\" (number)\\n2. Workflow trigger: New MQL created\\n3. Branch by rotation counter value (0, 1, 2... for each rep)\\n4. Set contact owner to corresponding rep\\n5. Increment counter (reset at max)\\n6. Create follow-up task with SLA deadline\\n\\n### Salesforce Round-Robin Setup\\n\\n**Using Lead Assignment Rules:**\\n1. Setup → Feature Settings → Marketing → Lead Assignment Rules\\n2. Create rule entries in priority order (most specific first)\\n3. For round-robin: Use assignment rule + custom logic\\n\\n**Using Flow for advanced routing:**\\n1. Create a Record-Triggered Flow on Lead creation\\n2. Get Records: Query a custom \\\"Rep Queue\\\" object for next available rep\\n3. Decision element: Check rep availability, capacity, territory\\n4. Update Records: Assign lead owner\\n5. Create Task: Follow-up task with SLA\\n6. Update \\\"Rep Queue\\\" to track last assignment\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Territory Routing\\n\\n### By Geography\\n\\n| Territory | Regions | Assigned Team |\\n|-----------|---------|---------------|\\n| West | CA, WA, OR, NV, AZ, UT, CO, HI | Team West |\\n| Central | TX, IL, MN, MO, OH, MI, WI, IN | Team Central |\\n| East | NY, MA, PA, NJ, CT, VA, FL, GA | Team East |\\n| International | All non-US | International team |\\n\\n### By Company Size\\n\\n| Segment | Company Size | Team |\\n|---------|-------------|------|\\n| SMB | 1-50 employees | Inside sales |\\n| Mid-market | 51-500 employees | Mid-market AEs |\\n| Enterprise | 501-5000 employees | Enterprise AEs |\\n| Strategic | 5000+ employees | Strategic account team |\\n\\n### By Industry\\n\\n| Vertical | Industries | Specialist |\\n|----------|-----------|------------|\\n| Tech | SaaS, IT services, hardware | Tech vertical rep |\\n| Financial | Banking, insurance, fintech | Financial vertical rep |\\n| Healthcare | Hospitals, pharma, healthtech | Healthcare vertical rep |\\n| General | All others | General pool (round-robin) |\\n\\n### Hybrid Territory Model\\n\\nCombine multiple dimensions for precision:\\n\\n```\\nLead arrives\\n├─ Company size > 1000?\\n│ ├─ YES → Enterprise team\\n│ │ └─ Sub-route by geography\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n├─ Industry = Healthcare or Financial?\\n│ ├─ YES → Vertical specialist\\n│ └─ NO ↓\\n└─ Round-robin across general pool\\n └─ Weighted by geography preference\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Named Account / ABM Routing\\n\\n### Setup\\n\\n1. **Define target account list** (typically 50-500 accounts)\\n2. **Assign account owners** in CRM (1 rep per account)\\n3. **Match logic:** Any lead from a target account domain routes to account owner\\n4. **Matching rules:**\\n - Email domain match (primary)\\n - Company name fuzzy match (secondary, requires manual review)\\n - IP-to-company resolution (tertiary, for anonymous visitors)\\n\\n### ABM Routing Rules\\n\\n| Tier | Account Type | Routing | Response SLA |\\n|------|-------------|---------|--------------|\\n| Tier 1 | Top 20 strategic accounts | Named owner, instant alert | 1 hour |\\n| Tier 2 | Top 100 target accounts | Named owner, standard alert | 4 hours |\\n| Tier 3 | Target industry / size match | Territory or round-robin | Same business day |\\n\\n### Multi-Contact Handling\\n\\nWhen multiple contacts from the same account engage:\\n- Route all contacts to the **same account owner**\\n- Notify the owner of new contacts entering\\n- Track account-level engagement score (sum of all contacts)\\n- Trigger \\\"buying committee\\\" alert when 3+ contacts from one account engage\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Speed-to-Lead Data\\n\\n### Response Time Impact on Conversion\\n\\n| Response Time | Relative Qualification Rate | Notes |\\n|---------------|---------------------------|-------|\\n| Under 5 minutes | **21x** more likely to qualify | Gold standard |\\n| 5-10 minutes | 10x more likely | Still strong |\\n| 10-30 minutes | 4x more likely | Acceptable for most |\\n| 30 min - 1 hour | 2x more likely | Below best practice |\\n| 1-24 hours | Baseline | Industry average |\\n| 24+ hours | 60% lower than baseline | Lead is effectively cold |\\n\\nSource: Lead Connect, InsideSales.com\\n\\n### Implementing Speed-to-Lead\\n\\n1. **Instant notification** — Push notification + email to rep on MQL creation\\n2. **Auto-task with timer** — Create task with 5-minute SLA countdown\\n3. **Escalation chain:**\\n - 5 min: Original rep alerted\\n - 15 min: Backup rep alerted\\n - 30 min: Manager alerted\\n - 1 hour: Lead reassigned to next available rep\\n4. **Measure and report** — Track actual response times weekly; recognize fast responders\\n\\n### Speed-to-Lead Automation\\n\\n**Trigger:** New MQL created\\n**Actions:**\\n1.

No story, no \\\"so what,\\\" no connection to the buyer's world. Reps click through it; prospects tune out.\\n\\n### The Wall of Text\\nSlides with 200+ words. Nobody reads them during a presentation. If the slide requires reading, it belongs in a leave-behind.\\n\\n### The Missing Story Arc\\nSlides exist in isolation — no narrative flow from problem to solution to proof. The deck feels like a brochure, not a conversation.\\n\\n### The Generic Screenshot\\nProduct screenshots without callouts, annotations, or context. The prospect can't tell what they're looking at or why it matters.\\n\\n### The Premature Demo\\nJumping to product features before establishing the problem. The buyer has no frame of reference for why your features matter.\\n\\n### The Kitchen Sink\\nTrying to address every persona, every use case, every feature in one deck. The result is a 40-slide monster that nobody wants to sit through.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"sales-enablement\",\"ref\":\"demo-scripts\",\"body\":\"# Demo Script Templates\\n\\nScene-by-scene templates for different call types, with timing, talk tracks, and interaction guidance.\\n\\n## Discovery Call Script\\n\\n**Duration:** 30 minutes\\n**Goal:** Qualify the opportunity, understand pain, map the buying process.\\n\\n### Scene 1: Opening (3 min)\\n\\n**Talk track:**\\n> \\\"Thanks for taking the time, [Name].

Persona-Based Packaging)\\n- Freemium vs. Free Trial (When to Use Freemium, When to Use Free Trial, Hybrid Approaches)\\n- Enterprise Pricing (When to Add Custom Pricing, Enterprise Tier Elements, Enterprise Pricing Strategies)\\n\\n## How Many Tiers?\\n\\n**2 tiers:** Simple, clear choice\\n- Works for: Clear SMB vs. Enterprise split\\n- Risk: May leave money on table\\n\\n**3 tiers:** Industry standard\\n- Good tier = Entry point\\n- Better tier = Recommended (anchor to best)\\n- Best tier = High-value customers\\n\\n**4+ tiers:** More granularity\\n- Works for: Wide range of customer sizes\\n- Risk: Decision paralysis, complexity\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Good-Better-Best Framework\\n\\n**Good tier (Entry):**\\n- Purpose: Remove barriers to entry\\n- Includes: Core features, limited usage\\n- Price: Low, accessible\\n- Target: Small teams, try before you buy\\n\\n**Better tier (Recommended):**\\n- Purpose: Where most customers land\\n- Includes: Full features, reasonable limits\\n- Price: Your \\\"anchor\\\" price\\n- Target: Growing teams, serious users\\n\\n**Best tier (Premium):**\\n- Purpose: Capture high-value customers\\n- Includes: Everything, advanced features, higher limits\\n- Price: Premium (often 2-3x \\\"Better\\\")\\n- Target: Larger teams, power users, enterprises\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Tier Differentiation Strategies\\n\\n**Feature gating:**\\n- Basic features in all tiers\\n- Advanced features in higher tiers\\n- Works when features have clear value differences\\n\\n**Usage limits:**\\n- Same features, different limits\\n- More users, storage, API calls at higher tiers\\n- Works when value scales with usage\\n\\n**Support level:**\\n- Email support → Priority support → Dedicated success\\n- Works for products with implementation complexity\\n\\n**Access and customization:**\\n- API access, SSO, custom branding\\n- Works for enterprise differentiation\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Example Tier

have different:\\n- Willingness to pay\\n- Feature needs\\n- Buying processes\\n- Value perception\\n\\n**Segment by:**\\n- Company size (solopreneur → SMB → enterprise)\\n- Use case (marketing vs. sales vs. support)\\n- Sophistication (beginner → power user)\\n- Industry (different budget norms)\\n\\n### Persona-Based Packaging\\n\\n**Step 1: Define personas**\\n\\n| Persona | Size | Needs | WTP | Example |\\n|---------|------|-------|-----|---------|\\n| Freelancer | 1 person | Basic features | Low | $19/mo |\\n| Small Team | 2-10 | Collaboration | Medium | $49/mo |\\n| Growing Co | 10-50 | Scale, integrations | Higher | $149/mo |\\n| Enterprise | 50+ | Security, support | High | Custom |\\n\\n**Step 2: Map features to personas**\\n\\n| Feature | Freelancer | Small Team | Growing | Enterprise |\\n|---------|------------|------------|---------|------------|\\n| Core features | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |\\n| Collaboration | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |\\n| Integrations | — | Limited | Full | Full |\\n| API access | — | — | ✓ | ✓ |\\n| SSO/SAML | — | — | — | ✓ |\\n| Audit logs | — | — | — | ✓ |\\n| Custom contract | — | — | — | ✓ |\\n\\n**Step 3: Price to value for each persona**\\n- Research willingness to pay per segment\\n- Set prices that capture value without blocking adoption\\n- Consider segment-specific landing pages\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Freemium vs. Free Trial\\n\\n### When to Use Freemium\\n\\n**Freemium works when:**\\n- Product has viral/network effects\\n- Free users provide value (content, data, referrals)\\n- Large market where % conversion drives volume\\n- Low marginal cost to serve free users\\n- Clear feature/usage limits for upgrade trigger\\n\\n**Freemium risks:**\\n- Free users may never convert\\n- Devalues product perception\\n- Support costs for non-paying users\\n- Harder to raise prices later\\n\\n### When to Use Free Trial\\n\\n**Free trial works when:**\\n- Product needs time to demonstrate value\\n- Onboarding/setup investment required\\n- B2B with buying committees\\n- Higher price points\\n- Product is \\\"sticky\\\" once configured\\n\\n**Trial best practices:**\\n- 7-14 days for simple products\\n- 14-30 days for complex products\\n- Full access (not feature-limited)\\n- Clear countdown and reminders\\n- Credit card optional vs. required trade-off\\n\\n**Credit card upfront:**\\n- Higher trial-to-paid conversion (40-50% vs. 15-25%)\\n- Lower trial volume\\n- Better qualified leads\\n\\n### Hybrid Approaches\\n\\n**Freemium + Trial:**\\n- Free tier with limited features\\n- Trial of premium features\\n- Example: Zoom (free 40-min, trial of Pro)\\n\\n**Reverse trial:**\\n- Start with full access\\n- After trial, downgrade to free tier\\n- Example: See premium value, live with limitations until ready\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Enterprise Pricing\\n\\n### When to Add Custom Pricing\\n\\nAdd \\\"Contact Sales\\\" when:\\n- Deal sizes exceed $10k+ ARR\\n- Customers need custom contracts\\n- Implementation/onboarding required\\n- Security/compliance requirements\\n- Procurement processes involved\\n\\n### Enterprise Tier Elements\\n\\n**Table stakes:**\\n- SSO/SAML\\n- Audit logs\\n- Admin controls\\n- Uptime SLA\\n- Security certifications\\n\\n**Value-adds:**\\n- Dedicated support/success\\n- Custom onboarding\\n- Training sessions\\n- Custom integrations\\n- Priority roadmap input\\n\\n### Enterprise Pricing Strategies\\n\\n**Per-seat at scale:**\\n- Volume discounts for large teams\\n- Example: $15/user (standard) → $10/user (100+)\\n\\n**Platform fee + usage:**\\n- Base fee for access\\n- Usage-based above thresholds\\n- Example: $500/mo base + $0.01 per API call\\n\\n**Value-based contracts:**\\n- Price tied to customer's revenue/outcomes\\n- Example: % of transactions, revenue share\\n\"},\n

Use size bands, not point estimates.\\n3. **Ignoring procurement complexity** at enterprise scale — your prospect contact list may not include the actual approver.\\n4. **Cold-emailing executive assistants** — they're not the buyer and they will flag your outreach as spam.\\n5. **Source URL hygiene** — without source lineage, you can't defend a contact under GDPR DSAR or CAN-SPAM challenge.\\n6. **Stopping at one source** — Apollo can be 60% accurate on small businesses. Cross-verify with LinkedIn or the business website.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"prospecting\",\"ref\":\"compliance\",\"body\":\"# Prospecting Compliance Reference\\n\\nThe legal and platform-ToS constraints that apply to prospect list building. Read first, every engagement.\\n\\n> Operational guidance, not legal advice. For high-volume programs or programs touching EU/UK residents, run your setup past a privacy attorney.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## United States — CAN-SPAM (downstream)\\n\\nCAN-SPAM regulates the cold email **send**, not the list build. But the list build matters because:\\n\\n- You must be able to identify the source of every email address you contact (required if challenged)\\n- The \\\"from\\\" line and email content rules apply at send time — but you can't lie about how you got the contact\\n- Opt-out requests must be honored within 10 business days and tracked\\n\\n**For prospecting specifically**: capture and retain the source URL + date for every contact you add to a list. CAN-SPAM doesn't require it explicitly, but defending your sender practices does.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## EU / UK — GDPR\\n\\nThe strictest applicable framework. Triggers when:\\n\\n- Your prospect resides in EU/UK\\n- You're processing personal data (any identifiable info, including business emails tied to a named person)\\n\\n### Lawful bases for cold B2B outreach\\n\\nYou have three credible options:\\n\\n1. **Legitimate interest** (most common for B2B). Requires:\\n - The contact is in a business role likely to be interested in your offer\\n - The data was collected from a public, business-context source\\n - You provide a clear opt-out\\n - You can articulate the legitimate interest test in writing\\n\\n2. **Consent** — typically not feasible for cold outreach (you don't have consent before first contact)\\n\\n3. **Existing customer relationship** — only applies to current customers, not prospects\\n\\n### What you must do\\n\\n- Capture **source + date + lawful basis** for every contact\\n- Honor data subject access requests (DSARs) — you must be able to disclose, correct, or delete on request\\n- Include a privacy notice / opt-out in the first outreach\\n- Don't store personal data longer than necessary for the legitimate interest\\n\\n### What disqualifies a list\\n\\n- Bulk-scraped LinkedIn data — explicit ToS violation + GDPR risk\\n- Email addresses purchased from a list broker without source provenance\\n- \\\"Anyone @ this domain\\\" guessed emails sent without verification (multiplies risk + bounces)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Canada — CASL\\n\\nStricter than CAN-SPAM. Cold B2B outreach requires:\\n\\n- **Express consent** (explicit opt-in) — typically not present for cold prospecting\\n- **OR implied consent** — existing business relationship within 24 months, OR business address publicly published on the company's own site for the purpose of receiving such communications\\n\\n**Practical implication for Canadian prospects**: relying on the publicly-published-address exception is the most defensible cold prospecting basis in Canada. You must include sender identification, mailing address, and an unsubscribe mechanism in every message.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Platform Terms of Service\\n\\n### LinkedIn\\n\\n- **Sales Navigator** as a research tool: fine\\n- **Scraping LinkedIn at any scale**: explicit ToS violation. Banned accounts are permanent. Don't.\\n- **Apollo, Clay, and ZoomInfo** claim LinkedIn-overlap data through various legitimate channels — verify their data sources before assuming compliance\\n- **InMail and Connection Requests**: governed by LinkedIn's own messaging rules, not by CAN-SPAM/GDPR (because LinkedIn-internal)\\n\\n### Google Maps\\n\\n- ToS prohibits bulk extraction or productizing Maps data\\n- Browser-assisted research as a discovery aid: acceptable\\n- Storing Place IDs or large structured Maps data in your CRM: explicit ToS prohibition\\n- Use Maps to **find** local businesses, then cross-source from the business's own site for the data you retain\\n\\n### Apollo / ZoomInfo / Clearbit\\n\\n- All have their own ToS limiting reselling, downstream sharing, and use cases\\n- Read your contract — typically you can use the data for your own outreach but not productize it\\n- Don't share extracts publicly (e.g., on a leaderboard, in a public report)\\n\\n### Crunchbase\\n\\n- Free tier is read-only for personal use\\n- Paid tier permits broader use within contractual scope\\n- API access requires paid Pro+ tier\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Anti-Patterns (Don't Do These)\\n\\n1. **Bulk-scraping LinkedIn / Google Maps / Yelp**. Browser-assisted research is OK; automated scrapers pointed at these platforms are not. **Firecrawl and Browserbase are fine for an individual prospect's own website** (the URL you found through manual discovery) — not for the platforms hosting prospects.\\n2. **Buying lists from random vendors** without source provenance. You inherit their legal exposure.\\n3. **Guessing emails and sending unverified**. Bounce rates over 2% destroy sender reputation; legally, you can't claim a \\\"legitimate interest\\\" basis for an email you fabricated.\\n4. **Harvesting personal email addresses** (Gmail, personal Outlook, etc.) from public profiles. Personal addresses raise GDPR risk significantly.\\n5. **Storing data you don't need**. Minimize retention. Don't keep prospect lists forever — GDPR right to deletion applies.\\n6. **Skipping the lawful basis documentation**. If challenged, you need to show your work. Capture source URL + collection date for every contact.\\n7. **Reselling prospect lists**. You may not have the right to share them downstream. Read your data provider contracts.\\n8. **CAPTCHA bypass / login wall bypass**. Even if technically possible, this signals bot behavior and violates virtually every ToS.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Quick Audit Checklist\\n\\nBefore shipping a list to the user (or downstream to cold-email):\\n\\n- [ ] Every contact has a source URL + collection date\\n- [ ] No contacts sourced from scraped LinkedIn data\\n- [ ] No Google Maps Place IDs or large Maps-structured data retained\\n- [ ] Lawful basis documented (legitimate interest test for B2B, or relevant alternative)\\n- [ ] Email addresses validated (deliverability check before outreach)\\n- [ ] Personal addresses (Gmail, etc.) flagged or excluded\\n- [ ] Source provider contracts permit the intended use case\\n- [ ] Retention plan documented (when to delete)\\n- [ ] First outreach will include unsubscribe + privacy notice (downstream concern for cold-email skill, but mention it now)\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"prospecting\",\"ref\":\"data-sources\",\"body\":\"# Prospecting Data Sources\\n\\nTool selection guide for prospecting across all three branches.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Tool selection by goal\\n\\n| Goal | Primary tools | Notes |\\n|------|--------------|-------|\\n| **Build initial firmographic list (B2B / SaaS)** | Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clay | Apollo for breadth, ZoomInfo for enterprise + intent, Clay for custom workflows |\\n| **Decision-maker mapping** | LinkedIn Sales Navigator (manual), Apollo, ZoomInfo | Sales Nav is the gold standard.

Best starting point if you don't already have a list.\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Large database (>200M contacts, >60M companies)\\n- Strong filtering UI (industry, size, technologies, signals)\\n- Integrated email + LinkedIn finder\\n- Pay-as-you-go and tiered plans\\n\\n**Watch out for**:\\n- Data freshness varies — re-verify before scoring as \\\"Hot\\\"\\n- Email accuracy ~60–80% — always validate\\n- Bulk export limits apply\\n\\n**Integration**: see [apollo.md](../../../tools/integrations/apollo.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Clay\\n\\n**Use for**: Multi-source enrichment, waterfall lookups, custom scoring logic. When list quality matters more than list size.\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Waterfall logic: try Apollo first → fallback to ZoomInfo → fallback to Clearbit\\n- 100+ data provider integrations\\n- AI-powered enrichment (LLM-driven extraction from URLs)\\n- Custom columns + scoring formulas\\n- Native MCP server\\n\\n**Watch out for**:\\n- Per-credit pricing can spike on large lists\\n- Complexity overhead — easy to over-engineer workflows\\n\\n**Integration**: see [clay.md](../../../tools/integrations/clay.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## ZoomInfo\\n\\n**Use for**: Enterprise B2B + intent data.

Critical safety step.\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Single-email sync verification (`/api/v1/verify_inline`) + bulk async (`/api/v1/verify`)\\n- Returns `email_state` (ok / email_invalid / risky / unknown / accept_all) + `email_sub_state` (email_ok / is_disposable / is_role / unknown_error / failed_smtp_check) + did-you-mean typo suggestions\\n- Catches catch-all domains, role accounts, spam traps, disposable providers\\n- Official MCP server for agent-driven workflows (Claude, Cursor, VS Code)\\n- Official SDKs in 7 languages + framework integrations (Django, Laravel, Next.js, Rails, React, Svelte, Vue, WordPress)\\n- Native integrations with Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Zapier, Make, n8n, Clay, Salesforce, more\\n- Pay-per-email pricing\\n\\n**Why this matters**: Cold email reputation craters when bounce rates exceed 2%. Validating before sending is non-negotiable. Apollo/ZoomInfo/Hunter data is often 60–80% accurate — Truelist catches the rest.\\n\\n**Integration**: see [truelist.md](../../../tools/integrations/truelist.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## LinkedIn Sales Navigator\\n\\n**Use for**: Manual decision-maker discovery. The gold standard for B2B / SaaS prospecting but only when used as a research tool.\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Most accurate decision-maker data in the industry\\n- Real-time job changes, posts, signals\\n- Lead lists, alerts, saved searches\\n- Inmail credits (separate channel from cold email)\\n\\n**Hard rules**:\\n- **Never bulk scrape**. LinkedIn aggressively bans scrapers. Account ban risk is real and permanent.\\n- Use Sales Nav as a research interface — open profiles, read, take notes, capture key data manually.\\n- Apollo and other tools claim LinkedIn data via partnerships / public mirroring — verify the source legitimacy before assuming compliance.\\n\\n**Integration**: no MCP or API access at consumer level. Manual research only.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## BuiltWith / Wappalyzer\\n\\n**Use for**: Tech stack qualification (SaaS branch).\\n\\n**BuiltWith**:\\n- ~50K+ technologies tracked\\n- API + bulk lookups (paid)\\n- Historical data (when stack changed)\\n\\n**Wappalyzer**:\\n- Free browser extension; paid API\\n- Lighter coverage than BuiltWith\\n- Faster for one-off lookups\\n\\nCross-reference both for high-confidence tech stack signals.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Crunchbase\\n\\n**Use for**: Funding signals (SaaS branch).\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Free tier shows recent funding events\\n- Paid (Pro / Enterprise) unlocks alerts and deep history\\n- API access for paid users\\n\\n**Watch out for**:\\n- Coverage is best for VC-backed companies; bootstrapped + small businesses underrepresented\\n- Self-reported data — verify funding amounts independently\\n\\n---\\n\\n## GitHub (stargazers / forks / watchers)\\n\\n**Use for**: Developer-intent prospecting. Especially powerful for dev-tool SaaS — stargazers of competitor or category-defining repos are in-market signal.\\n\\n**Strengths**:\\n- Public API, no scraping concerns\\n- High signal quality (a starred repo = explicit interest)\\n- Forks are an even stronger signal (intent to modify, not just bookmark)\\n- Bundled `github-prospects.js` CLI handles pagination + enrichment + CSV output\\n- Free with 5,000 req/hr authenticated rate limit\\n\\n**Watch out for**:\\n- Only ~5–20% of users publish email — pair with Apollo/Clay/Hunter for enrichment\\n- Very-popular repos (100K+ stars) are mostly noise; smaller targeted repos (5K–25K) give better signal density\\n- Most prospects are individuals, not company contacts directly — need to figure out their company from `company` field or LinkedIn\\n\\n**Integration**: see [github.md](../../../tools/integrations/github.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Firecrawl / Browserbase (single-target site research)\\n\\n**Use for**: Programmatically extracting content from a **prospect's own website** that you already found via discovery on platforms like Google Maps, Yelp, or LinkedIn.

Four classifications:\\n\\n| Status | Definition | Typical outcome |\\n|--------|-----------|-----------------|\\n| **No site found** | No credible standalone website after cross-checked search | **Hot prospect** for web/marketing service |\\n| **Social only** | Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Linktree, booking portal, marketplace page only — no standalone site | **Hot prospect** for web/marketing service |\\n| **Weak site** | Standalone site exists but outdated, broken, very thin, non-mobile-friendly, or missing clear contact/conversion flow | **Warm prospect** for refresh / rebuild service |\\n| **Has site** | Credible, modern standalone site exists | **Low prospect** unless other signals apply (e.g., poor SEO, weak conversion design) |\\n\\n### Proximity signals\\n\\n- **Distance** from the user's location or service area\\n- **Density** — clusters of similar businesses in one area = neighborhood targeting opportunity\\n- **Travel time** — useful when in-person discovery, install, or service delivery is required\\n\\n### Decay signals\\n\\n- Closed permanently (Google Maps banner)\\n- Reviews paused or business listing reported as closed\\n- Last activity (review, post) >12 months ago\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Discovery Sources (Local SMB branch)\\n\\n### Primary\\n\\n- **Google Maps** (browser, manual) — search \\\"category near [location]\\\" and walk the visible results. Cross-check details. Don't bulk-extract.\\n- **Yelp** — secondary verification; complementary categories\\n- **Bing Local / Apple Maps** — different coverage on smaller businesses\\n- **Facebook Pages search** — many SMBs are Facebook-only\\n\\n### Cross-verification\\n\\n- **Business's own website** (if any)\\n- **Industry directories** (e.g., Healthgrades for medical, OpenTable for restaurants, Avvo for legal)\\n- **Local Chamber of Commerce listings**\\n- **State business registries** for incorporation status\\n- **Search results for \\\"[business name] [city]\\\"** to discover non-Maps presence\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Browser Research Workflow\\n\\n1. Open a browser and search Google Maps for the category near `base_location`\\n2. Build a candidate list from visible local results, search results, and public directories\\n3. For each candidate, inspect public sources to fill required fields\\n4. Search the exact business name plus city/town to check whether a standalone website exists\\n5. Classify website status per the table above\\n6. Mark confidence: High (2+ sources), Medium (1 source + consistent evidence), Low (incomplete/ambiguous)\\n\\nWhen the user explicitly asks for subagents AND subagents are available, split candidates into non-overlapping batches and ask each subagent to verify only website/social/contact status. Don't use subagents for the primary search if it slows progress.\\n\\n### Optional: programmatic verification with Firecrawl or Browserbase\\n\\nOnce you have a candidate's website URL (found via manual Maps/Yelp discovery), you can speed up website-status classification by hitting the URL programmatically:\\n\\n- **Firecrawl** for simple \\\"is this site live, modern, mobile-friendly, conversion-flow-equipped\\\" reads — returns clean markdown you can inspect\\n- **Browserbase** when the candidate site requires JS rendering, has a cookie consent dialog, or you need session state\\n\\n**Strict line**: use these on the individual business's URL. **Don't** point them at Google Maps, Yelp, or any platform whose ToS prohibits bulk extraction — discovery stays manual.\\n\\nSee [data-sources.md](data-sources.md) for setup details.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Qualification Checklist (Local SMB branch)\\n\\n- [ ] Business is active (recent reviews or activity in last 6 months)\\n- [ ] Category matches user's service offering\\n- [ ] Distance / proximity within target radius\\n- [ ] Website status classified\\n- [ ] Phone or contact channel verified\\n- [ ] At least one cross-source confirms business operates at the listed address\\n- [ ] Not a duplicate / chain location / out-of-scope category\\n- [ ] Not closed permanently\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Lead Scoring (Local SMB)\\n\\nUse this simple rubric (matches local-client-prospector pattern):\\n\\n| Score | Criteria |\\n|-------|----------|\\n| **Hot** | No site found OR social-only + phone present + active business + within target radius |\\n| **Warm** | Weak site, poor online presentation, or marketplace/booking-page only |\\n| **Cold** | Good website already present OR low confidence |\\n| **Skip** | Closed, duplicate, outside radius, irrelevant category, or not a business prospect |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Output Columns (Local SMB branch)\\n\\nChat table (≤15 rows):\\n\\n```\\n| Score | Business | Category | Area | Distance | Website status | Website/Social | Phone | Why it's a prospect | Confidence |\\n```\\n\\nCSV:\\n\\n```csv\\nscore,business,category,area,distance_km,website_status,website_url,social_urls,phone,email,source_urls,why_prospect,confidence,verified_date,notes\\n```\\n\\nRules:\\n- Keep \\\"Why it's a prospect\\\" short and actionable\\n- Use `Not found` instead of leaving blank fields\\n- Include source links sparingly, not all of them\\n- After the table, add **Best first outreach targets** with the top 3 leads and one practical reason each\\n- If confidence is low, state exactly what remains uncertain\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Top Outreach Targets Selection (Local SMB)\\n\\nPrioritize for the top 3 hot leads:\\n\\n1. **No site / social only + phone present** = clearest service opportunity\\n2. **High review count** = active, established business with real customers\\n3. **Owner-responded reviews** = engaged owner = more likely to evaluate a vendor\\n4. **Industry alignment with your service specialty** beats generic category match\\n\\nEach top target rationale should be one sentence naming the gap and the signal: \\\"No standalone website (cross-checked); 80+ Google reviews with owner replies; 2 km from target area.\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Compliance Notes (Local SMB-specific)\\n\\nThe local branch is the most scraping-sensitive of the three motions. Specifically:\\n\\n- **Google Maps Terms of Service** prohibit bulk extraction. Treat browser visits as research, not as data acquisition.\\n- **Don't store full Google Maps Place IDs in your CRM** — the ToS limits storage of Maps data.\\n- **Public business contact channels only**: published phone, contact form, info@ email. Don't reach individual employees through their personal channels.\\n- **Owner/operator name when published on the business's own site** is OK to use. If you only got it from LinkedIn, mark the source.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Common Mistakes (Local SMB)\\n\\n1. **Bulk-scraping Google Maps** — fastest way to violate ToS and lose the research channel.\\n2. **Treating Google Maps data as truth** — listings go stale. Cross-check hours, status, and reviews.\\n3. **Skipping the website status cross-check** — finding \\\"no site\\\" on Maps doesn't mean no site exists; do an exact-name web search before classifying.\\n4. **Targeting only the largest businesses** — they're already covered by other providers. The 2–5 employee SMBs are the under-served opportunity.\\n5. **Generic outreach to all hot leads** — local SMBs respond better to outreach that names their specific gap (\\\"I noticed your menu isn't visible on mobile\\\") than generic pitches.\\n6. **Ignoring chains and franchises** as Skip — sometimes the franchisee is the buyer and they have local marketing authority. Verify before skipping.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"prospecting\",\"ref\":\"saas-prospecting\",\"body\":\"# SaaS Prospecting Reference\\n\\nFor when the user sells SaaS or digital services to other SaaS companies / digital businesses.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## ICP Signals That Matter (SaaS branch)\\n\\nBeyond standard firmographics (industry, size, geography), SaaS prospects are qualified by:\\n\\n### Technographic signals\\n\\n- **Tech stack** — do they use complementary tools (your integration target) or competing tools (a switch opportunity)?\\n- **Recent stack changes** — adding/removing tools signals active vendor evaluation\\n- **Custom-built vs off-the-shelf** — DIY tooling often means a buyer who'd benefit from your product\\n- **Free/freemium plan signals** — using a free competitor means they may be ready to upgrade\\n\\n### Growth signals\\n\\n- **Funding round** — Series A / B / C in last 6 months = budget + new hires + tool needs\\n- **Headcount growth** — 10%+ growth in last quarter signals scaling pressure\\n- **Hiring signals** — specific role openings (e.g., \\\"Head of RevOps\\\" → ICP for revops tooling)\\n- **Product velocity** — frequent shipping, new features, blog posts = healthy growth motion\\n- **Open positions for your buyer's role** — if you sell to Marketing Ops and they're hiring one, that's a signal\\n\\n### Decay signals (downgrade scoring)\\n\\n- Layoffs in target department\\n- Funding round >2 years ago with no follow-up\\n- Product hasn't shipped in 6+ months\\n- Team page shows founders only (very early — may not have budget)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Discovery Sources (SaaS branch)\\n\\nCombine 2+ sources for cross-verification.\\n\\n### Tier 1 — primary discovery\\n\\n- **Apollo**: firmographic + technographic + contact data. Good for building large initial lists.\\n- **Clay**: waterfall enrichment, custom scoring, multi-source merges. Best for high-quality smaller lists.\\n- **ZoomInfo**: enterprise-grade firmographic + intent signals. Expensive; mid-market+.\\n- **LinkedIn Sales Navigator**: decision-maker mapping. Use manually, never bulk scrape.\\n\\n### Tier 2 — technographic / growth signals\\n\\n- **BuiltWith**: tech stack lookups, find sites using specific tools\\n- **Wappalyzer**: free browser extension + API; lighter tech stack signal\\n- **Crunchbase**: funding rounds, headcount, founders\\n- **Pitchbook**: deeper investor data (enterprise/paid)\\n- **ProductHunt**: recent launches, builder audience\\n- **Hacker News / Show HN**: technical builders launching products\\n\\n### Tier 3 — buying signals\\n\\n- **Job boards** (LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, AngelList): role openings as signals\\n- **RB2B / Clearbit Reveal**: visitor identification (warm anonymous traffic)\\n- **GitHub stars/forks of competitor or adjacent repos**: developer-level intent signal (see `tools/integrations/github.md` and the `github-prospects.js` CLI). Especially strong for dev-tool SaaS — a developer who starred `vercel/next.js` last week is in-market for adjacent Next.js infrastructure.\\n- **Recent blog posts / changelog**: product direction signals\\n- **G2 reviews mentioning competitor switches**: explicit dissatisfaction signal\\n\\n#### GitHub prospecting pattern (when audience is developers)\\n\\nFor dev-tool SaaS, GitHub is one of the highest-quality discovery channels:\\n\\n1. Identify 3–5 \\\"anchor\\\" repos: your direct competitors, your category leader, complementary tools your buyer uses\\n2. Pull stargazers (or forks for stronger intent) via `node tools/clis/github-prospects.js stargazers --enrich --with-company --format csv`\\n3. Filter to users with `company` set — these are the easiest to enrich downstream\\n4. Pair with Apollo/Clay/Hunter to lookup email by name + company\\n5. Validate with Truelist before adding to outreach list\\n\\nTradeoffs: GitHub yields email for only ~5–20% of users directly.

Cross-check.\\n3. **Targeting Series C+ for early-stage SaaS sellers**. The buyer profile is wrong — too many procurement hoops, too much red tape.\\n4. **Targeting Series Pre-Seed seed** for products requiring meaningful budget.

bootstrapped** | fCMO + founder team | All current tooling + marketing-skills library + MCP layer | Organic only (SEO, content, App Store, founder-led social, events, WOM, ambassador) |\\n| **Seed close** | + first marketing hire (lifecycle/content owner) | + paid ad accounts (Apple Search Ads, Meta, LinkedIn) + `ads` skill activated | + paid acquisition pilot ($5–15K/mo — see

category level |\\n\\n## The concrete-example test\\n\\nSection 11 of the plan must include at least one concrete operational example that proves the stack thesis. The example should be:\\n- A specific event (not abstract claim)\\n- From this client's actual history if possible (most credible)\\n- Tied to a non-technical person executing via the stack (proves it works without dedicated engineering)\\n\\nExamples from real engagements:\\n- *\\\"On the kickoff call, Alex drafted a working Customer.io abandoned-cart flow live, using Customer.io's Claude MCP. Validated that a non-technical founder can ship lifecycle work using the skill pattern independently.\\\"*\\n- *\\\"In two weeks, the team scaled from 0 to 14 ranking keywords using `programmatic-seo` against the Ahrefs API + GitHub MCP — no dedicated SEO hire required.\\\"*\\n- *\\\"The first email campaign generated a 24% reply rate after `cold-email` skill + GA4 MCP + Stripe MCP gave the team a verified target list of users with high LTV but no recent activity.\\\"*\\n\\nIf the client has no such moment in their history yet, frame the example as the *first move* — \\\"Here's the demonstration the team will run in week one to validate the stack:\\\"\\n\\n## When the stack doesn't apply (yet)\\n\\nFor clients without MCP connections set up, frame Section 11 differently:\\n- List the skills that DO apply with current tooling\\n- Name which MCPs would unlock which sections of the plan\\n- Treat MCP setup as a Q1 priority alongside the bedrock fixes\\n\\nA plan can't claim the agentic-stack thesis if the stack isn't wired. Be honest about state.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"plan-template\",\"body\":\"# Plan Template — The 13-Section Structure\\n\\nThe canonical template for every marketing plan generated by this skill.

A founder should be able to paste this into a board update or investor email without editing.\\n\\n**Length:** 400–700 words. Tight.\\n\\n**Structure:**\\n1. **One-sentence frame.** What does this plan optimize for? Not \\\"more revenue\\\" — something specific to this client at this stage.\\n2. **Three big bets, ranked by leverage.** Each is a paragraph. Bet = a high-conviction thesis about where the team should focus capital and attention.\\n3. **What twelve months looks like, plausibly.** Bullet list. The plausible outcome state at end of plan horizon. Investor-readable.\\n4. **90-day priorities.** Numbered list. The six (give or take) moves that ship in the first quarter.\\n\\n**Voice notes:**\\n- Match the client's voice\\n- Direct, founder-readable, no marketing-speak\\n- Use names and numbers (specific channels, specific metrics) — not abstractions\\n- Tradeoffs named explicitly when they matter\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 2 — Strategic frame\\n\\n**Purpose:** Distill positioning, ICP, business-model logic, and brand voice into a single page that any team member or new hire can read to orient.\\n\\n**Length:** 800–1500 words.\\n\\n**Structure:**\\n\\n### What {Company} is, in one sentence\\nPulled from positioning doc / seed deck / founder language.\\n\\n### The category we're claiming\\nIs the company creating a new category, redefining an existing one, or competing in a defined category? Name it. State the category-defining frame in 2–3 sentences. Reference the source (founder's words, ICP doc, etc.).\\n\\n### Who we're for (ICP, distilled)\\nDemographics / firmographics + stated problem vs. real problem + what they're actually buying. Tight, 4–6 bullets.\\n\\n### The business model logic\\nHow does the company make money? What's the customer-acquisition unit economics theory? What's the compounding channel thesis (if any)? Pulled from seed deck / financial model / founder narrative.\\n\\n### Brand voice (the non-negotiable)\\nIf the client has documented voice rules, list them. YES / NO vocabulary. CTA rules. Tone. Core method (initiatory, explanatory, narrative, etc.). Every other section of the plan must respect these.\\n\\n**Voice notes:**\\n- This section is the most \\\"lift from existing materials\\\" — don't invent positioning. Surface what's there.\\n- If positioning is unclear or contradicted across materials, flag it in Section 13's open decisions.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 3 — Current state\\n\\n**Purpose:** Anchor the plan in reality.

If there's no dedicated marketing hire yet, name when one becomes necessary and what role (see `references/team-and-agency-model.md` — first hire should be π-shaped strategist titled Manager or Lead, not VP/CMO).\\n\\n### Marketing budget (current)\\n- Paid acquisition: $X/mo\\n- Tooling stack: list with estimated cost\\n- Retainers / fCMO: list\\n- Headcount: list\\n- Blended CAC: $X (must include salaries, content costs, tools, retainers — not just paid spend; see `references/budget-planning.md` for the calculation)\\n- Current spend as % of ARR: X% (compare against 5–40% range)\\n\\nState the funding-stage tier this maps to (see `references/funding-stage-unlocks.md`). Implication: what 90-day plan must produce *without* lever pulls that require future budget.\\n\\n### Phase of SaaS growth\\nName the current phase: $0–10K ARR / $10K–100K / $100K–1M / $1M–$10M / $10M+. Each phase has its own binding constraint and dominant growth pattern (see `references/growth-patterns.md`). Section 10 sequences the move into the next phase.\\n\\n### What's already done (acknowledge, then build on)\\nTable:\\n\\n| Asset | Status | Marketing leverage |\\n|---|---|---|\\n\\nThis is where past launches, PR moments, content pillars, certifications, notable users get acknowledged. **Critical**: don't write a plan that ignores work the team is proud of.\\n\\n### What's in-flight (drafted but not shipped)\\nTable:\\n\\n| Item | Status | Blocker |\\n|---|---|---|\\n\\nBe honest about blockers. Where the blocker is \\\"no time\\\" or \\\"no decision,\\\" that goes to Section 13's open decisions.\\n\\n### What's stuck (and needs to unstick this quarter)\\nTable:\\n\\n| Issue | Cost of inaction | Action |\\n|---|---|---|\\n\\nStuck things are the most leverage-positive places to focus the first weeks of the 90-day plan.\\n\\n### Audit rubric snapshot\\n17-section scored snapshot using the embedded current-state rubric. See `references/current-state-rubric.md` for the full rubric and scoring guides.\\n\\nIf a prior scored audit exists, paste those scores in. Otherwise score from available materials and note \\\"scored from materials\\\" under the heading.\\n\\n| # | Section | Score | Note |\\n|---|---|---|---|\\n| 1 | Positioning | 0–5 | |\\n| 2 | Customer research | 0–5 | |\\n| ... | ... | ... | ... |\\n| 17 | Internationalization | 0–5 | |\\n\\n**Total: X / 85 (Y%).** Note the *shape* of strength and weakness — that shape is the gap the rest of the plan closes.\\n\\n**Voice notes:**\\n- Honest > polished. If the client's metrics are bad, name them. Founders read past sugar-coating.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 4 — Acquisition\\n\\n**Purpose:** Answer \\\"how do strangers become aware of us?\\\" Map every channel: current state, planned moves, skipped (with reason).\\n\\n**Length:** 1000–1800 words.\\n\\n**Structure:**\\n\\n### Current state\\nBrief. What's working today, what's not, what the data shows about channel mix.\\n\\n### The plan\\nNumbered \\\"Moves.\\\" Each move is a paragraph (3–6 sentences) describing the channel, the thesis, and the specific work. Common moves:\\n\\n- **Move 1 — SEO (and content)** — Reference the SEO plan if one exists (`seo/plan.md`). Otherwise: keyword research, pillar/spoke structure, content cadence.\\n- **Move 2 — App Store / Play Store optimization** (for consumer apps) — Listing rewrite, screenshot tests, ASO keyword targeting.\\n- **Move 3 — Founder-led channels** — LinkedIn for B2B/SaaS, Twitter/X for tech, Instagram for consumer. Cadence, topics, owners.\\n- **Move 4 — PR amplification** — What's the credibility anchor? How to amplify it.\\n- **Move 5 — Events (if applicable)** — Live events, conferences, webinars. Acquisition vs. activation role.\\n- **Move 6 — Hardware / commerce surface (if applicable)** — Shopify storefront, Amazon, retail.\\n- **Move 7 — B2B sales support** — Case studies, partner pages, vertical-specific content.\\n- **Move 8 — Paid layer (when budget unlocks)** — Apple Search Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Google. Held until specified funding stage.\\n\\n### 90-day acquisition moves\\nWeek-by-week breakdown of the ships in the first quarter.\\n\\n### 12-month acquisition outlook\\nQuarter-by-quarter outcome state (Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4).\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n- **Skills:** list relevant marketing-skills repo skills (`seo-audit`, `ai-seo`, `ads`, `social`, `competitors`, etc.)\\n- **MCPs / APIs:** list connections (Ahrefs API, GA4 MCP, Typefully MCP, Stripe MCP for LTV math, etc.)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 5 — Activation\\n\\n**Purpose:** Answer \\\"once someone tries us, do they have an experience that converts?\\\"\\n\\n**Length:** 800–1500 words.\\n\\n**Structure:** Same as Acquisition (Current state / The plan / 90-day / 12-month / Skills + tools).\\n\\n**Common moves:**\\n- Bedrock fixes (broken signup, broken onboarding gates, etc.)\\n- Onboarding tests / rebuild (often the most leveraged move at this stage)\\n- App Store listing rewrite (cross-references to Acquisition)\\n- Lifecycle Flow ship order (when to ship onboarding emails vs. hold for product stability)\\n- Paywall + pricing review (often Activation × Revenue)\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n`onboarding`, `signup`, `paywalls`, `copywriting`, `marketing-website-design`, `ab-testing`, etc.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 6 — Retention\\n\\n**Purpose:** Answer \\\"once someone converts, do they stay and deepen?\\\"\\n\\n**Length:** 800–1500 words.\\n\\n**Structure:** Same as above.\\n\\n**Common moves:**\\n- Lifecycle email flows (post-purchase, lapsed user, win-back)\\n- Subscription / preference centers\\n- Churn reconciliation (often metric definitions don't match across surfaces)\\n- Hardware → software activation paths (for hybrid businesses)\\n- Annual plan default tests (cross-references to Revenue)\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n`emails`, `churn-prevention`, `copywriting`, `paywalls`, etc.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 7 — Referral\\n\\n**Purpose:** Answer \\\"do retained users bring more users, and at what cost?\\\"\\n\\n**Length:** 500–1200 words.\\n\\n**Structure:** Same as above.\\n\\n**Common moves:**\\n- Ambassador / affiliate program launch (if inbound interest exists, lead with it)\\n- Share-after-value moments built into product\\n- Founder amplification (founder as referrer-zero)\\n- Long-game expert / Guides / certified-host network\\n- Gifting flows (for consumer / hardware)\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n`referrals`, `social`, `emails` (for ambassador lifecycle), `copywriting`, etc.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 8 — Revenue\\n\\n**Purpose:** Answer \\\"what do we charge, who pays, and how does it compound?\\\"\\n\\n**Length:** 500–1200 words.\\n\\n**Structure:** Same as above.\\n\\n**Common moves:**\\n- Pricing audit (what's actually charged today vs. listed?)\\n- Annual plan default tests\\n- Hardware → software bundling formalization (for hybrid businesses)\\n- Storefront / commerce page optimization\\n- B2B case studies + sales material\\n- Long-term value pools (data licensing, enterprise expansion) — flagged not executed in 12-month plan\\n\\n### Unit economics\\nRequired table:\\n\\n| Metric | Value | Note |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| ARPC (avg monthly revenue per customer) | $X | Pulled from Stripe / billing |\\n| Blended CAC | $X | Includes all marketing costs, not just paid |\\n| Annual retention rate | X% | 1 − annual churn |\\n| LTV (rough) | $X | ARPC × 12 / annual churn |\\n| LTV / CAC | X | Health benchmark: > 3 |\\n\\nThese feed the budget math in Section 10. If any of these are unknown, flag in Section 13 as top open decision.\\n\\n### Skills + tools\\n`pricing`, `paywalls`, `sales-enablement`, `revops`, `ab-testing`, etc.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 9 — 90-day roadmap\\n\\n**Purpose:** The tactical execution layer. Every move ships within a named week, with an owner.\\n\\n**Length:** Tables, not prose. Should fit on one printed page if possible.\\n\\n**Structure:** Four 2–3-week sprints:\\n\\n### Weeks 1–2 — Unblock\\nHighest-confidence, lowest-cost changes. Removing things that are broken.\\n\\n| Move | Stage | Owner |\\n|---|---|---|\\n\\n### Weeks 3–4 — Foundation\\nPillar/foundational work. Domain consolidation. First content. First flows shipping. First tests live.\\n\\n### Weeks 5–8 — Velocity\\nCompounding work begins. Content cadence. Repeat tests. Channel scaling.\\n\\n### Weeks 9–12 — Compound\\nSecond-order moves. Layered tactics. 90-day review prep.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 10 — 12-month outlook\\n\\n**Purpose:** Quarterly milestones with explicit funding-stage capability unlocks named, anchored against a defensible growth pattern.\\n\\n**Length:** Four sub-sections, one per quarter. ~250–400 words each. Plus a short framing paragraph at the top naming the budget method and growth pattern.\\n\\n### Framing (top of Section 10)\\n\\nState explicitly:\\n- **Budget method used.** Method 1 (Revenue-Based 5–40% of ARR) or Method 2 (Goal-Based formula). See `references/budget-planning.md`. Show the math.\\n- **Annual budget total** + the experimental buffer (+10–20%).\\n- **Resulting end-of-year ARR goal.** Honest forecast, not a guarantee — see the forecasting reality check in `references/measurement-framework.md`.\\n- **Growth pattern expected.** Linear (predictable $X MRR added per month), step-function (plateau between deliberate jumps), or layered S-curves. For VC-backed Series A+, anchor against 3-3-2-2-2 and show whether the plan matches it or explicitly chooses a different trajectory. See `references/growth-patterns.md`.\\n\\n### Structure (per quarter)\\n\\n#### Q{N} — Months {X}–{Y}\\n\\n**Funding state:** {tier} per `funding-stage-unlocks.md`\\n\\n**Focus:** One-sentence focus theme for the quarter.\\n\\n**Outcomes by end of Q{N}:**\\n- Bulleted outcome list (5–8 items)\\n\\n**KPI targets:** 3–5 specific numerical targets.\\n\\n**Channel/Product/Market S-curve position:** Which curves are growing, which are plateauing, which is the next one being staged for this quarter (see `growth-patterns.md` — layering principle).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 11 — Marketing operations stack\\n\\n**Purpose:** The fCMO differentiator. Show how a small team + agentic tooling executes the plan without hiring at every channel.\\n\\n**Length:** Tables + brief explanation.\\n\\n**Structure:**\\n\\n### The thesis\\n1–2 paragraphs explaining the principle: small team + marketing-skills library + MCP integrations = output of a larger team.\\n\\n### Skills mapped to AARRR stages\\n\\n| Stage | Primary skills | Supporting skills |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Acquisition | (list) | (list) |\\n| Activation | (list) | (list) |\\n| Retention | (list) | (list) |\\n| Referral | (list) | (list) |\\n| Revenue | (list) | (list) |\\n| Cross-cutting | (list) | (list) |\\n\\n### MCPs / APIs mapped to stages\\n\\n| Stage | Existing connections | fCMO tooling layer |\\n|---|---|---|\\n\\n### A concrete example\\nPick one operational moment that proves the stack works (e.g., \\\"Customer.io MCP let the non-technical founder draft a flow live on the kickoff call\\\").

Apply client-specific filters during draft (brand voice rules out some; funding stage shifts timing of others).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Section 13 — Measurement, RACI, open decisions, appendix\\n\\n**Purpose:** Operational close. Define how the plan gets measured, who owns what, what's still TBD, and where to find the deeper docs.\\n\\n**Structure:**\\n\\n### Measurement — the metrics that matter\\n\\n**North star (proposed):** One metric that captures the business-model thesis.

Execution can — and often should — be outsourced.**\\n\\nTwo failure modes are common when founders ignore this:\\n\\n1. **Hire junior tactician first.** Founder hits a milestone, raises a round, hires a junior to \\\"do marketing\\\" (run ads, write blogs, post on social). Six months later: scattered tactics, no coherent strategy, disappointing results.\\n2. **Hire expensive agency for strategy.** Burns cash while the internal team struggles to execute on recommendations they don't fully understand. Strategic insight gathers dust; tactical needs go unmet.\\n\\nThe traditional advice — \\\"hire full-time for competitive advantages, only use agencies for commoditized work\\\" — made sense when marketing moved slowly and talent stayed for decades. That world is gone. Full-time hires take months to ramp and years to develop deep expertise. The best agencies and contractors deliver results immediately, with cross-industry pattern recognition you couldn't build in-house affordably.\\n\\n## What stays in-house\\n\\nThe strategic heart of the marketing operation. Specifically:\\n\\n- **Strategic direction and vision** — the \\\"why\\\" behind every move\\n- **Customer and market understanding** — only comes from daily immersion in the business\\n- **Positioning and deep market knowledge** — represents the company's unique place in the market\\n- **Core product and service delivery** — the heart of the value proposition\\n- **Long-term institutional knowledge** — the compound interest of experience\\n\\nThese are not delegatable. An external partner can sharpen the articulation, but the underlying conviction must come from the team.\\n\\n## What's safe to outsource\\n\\nExternal expertise shines in specific contexts:\\n\\n- **Best-in-class implementation of specialized skills** (paid media operators, technical SEO, video production, designers)\\n- **Burst capacity** — launch sprints, campaign cycles, one-off content production\\n- **Well-defined strategies** — when the scope, deliverables, and success metrics are clear\\n- **Fresh eyes on old problems** — external perspective when the team is too close to see clearly\\n\\nThe trick is *defining* what's being outsourced. Vague briefs (\\\"help us with marketing\\\") produce vague results. Specific briefs (\\\"ship 20 RSAs across 4 ad groups by month-end with the CTR benchmarks in the brief\\\") produce shippable work.\\n\\n## The three core functions\\n\\nEvery marketing engine has three primary functions. Whether you have a team of 1 or 50, the functions exist — even if one person owns several.\\n\\n### Growth Marketing — the demand engine\\n\\n- Optimizes campaigns\\n- Manages the funnel\\n- Operates distribution channels\\n- Runs the marketing tech stack\\n- Data-driven; constantly testing and measuring\\n\\nDrives quantitative outcomes: leads, signups, paid traffic, conversion rate, CAC.\\n\\n### Product Marketing — the story engine\\n\\n- Transforms product benefits into compelling messages\\n- Powers product launches\\n- Equips the sales team\\n- Owns pricing and packaging communication\\n- Bridges what's built and why people should care\\n\\nDrives positioning quality, message-market fit, launch impact, sales enablement.\\n\\n### Content Marketing — the trust engine\\n\\n- Maintains the brand voice\\n- Manages the editorial calendar\\n- Produces content that reaches and teaches the audience\\n- Proves impact through customer stories\\n- Shapes industry conversations through thought leadership\\n- Supports sales with closing content\\n\\nDrives organic traffic, brand affinity, thought leadership, trust signals.\\n\\nThese three functions are interconnected. Growth without story is performance with no positioning. Story without distribution is a great pitch nobody hears. Trust without demand capture is brand affinity that doesn't compound into revenue.\\n\\n## The first marketing hire\\n\\nThe most consequential decision in building the marketing engine isn't about channels or technology — it's who leads.\\n\\n**The first marketing hire should be a strategist, not a tactician.** Counterintuitive when there's a mountain of tactical work to ship. Essential for sustainable growth.\\n\\n### Look for π-shaped, not T-shaped\\n\\nThe standard advice is to hire a **T-shaped marketer**: broad knowledge across many areas, deep in one. That's fine for a tactical IC role.\\n\\nFor the first strategic hire, look for **π-shaped**: two deep skill sets, plus broad surface-level competency across the rest. The two depths create unique leverage through their combination.\\n\\n#### High-leverage combinations\\n\\n**Product Marketing + Growth Marketing**\\n- Owns positioning *and* drives distribution\\n- Crafts the message *and* gets it to market\\n- No gap between planning and doing\\n- Best for technical products or complex sales\\n\\n**Product Marketing + Content Marketing**\\n- Translates product into compelling stories\\n- Owns voice and positioning together\\n- Creates content that compounds\\n- Best for thought-leadership or education-driven markets\\n\\n**Growth Marketing + Content Marketing**\\n- Builds the demand engine and the content that fuels it\\n- Closes the loop between SEO/social distribution and conversion\\n- Best for content-led growth motions\\n\\nThe wrong shape for a first hire: deep paid media specialist alone, deep SEO specialist alone, deep designer alone. These are tactical depths; they need a strategic owner above them.\\n\\n### Title and progression — don't inflate\\n\\nA common mistake: making the first marketing hire a \\\"CMO\\\" or \\\"VP.\\\" Creates problems when you actually need to scale the org, because there's no headroom above them.\\n\\nThe right progression:\\n\\n| Title | Scope |\\n|---|---|\\n| **Manager** | Individual contributor, co-manages freelancers |\\n| **Lead** | Senior IC, manages freelancers/agencies |\\n| **Director / Head** | Manages ICs and vendors |\\n| **VP** | Manages Directors |\\n| **Chief (CMO)** | Manages VPs |\\n\\nThe first hire is almost always **Marketing Manager** or **Marketing Lead**. They should be able to:\\n\\n- Define positioning — not just describe what you do, but why it matters\\n- Identify best channels — from data, not intuition\\n- Create the messaging framework — consistency across touchpoints\\n- Build the marketing engine — systems that scale beyond any individual\\n- Manage external resources — get the most from agencies and contractors\\n\\nBoth strategic *and* hands-on. Comfortable setting direction and rolling up sleeves. Most importantly: a **builder** — creates processes, frameworks, and systems that scale beyond their individual capacity.\\n\\n## The marketing engine — three components\\n\\nThink of the marketing organization as an engine. Each part has a specific role; the magic is in how they work together.\\n\\n### The Fuel — Strategy\\n\\nWhat powers everything else. Without good fuel, even the best engine sputters.\\n\\n- Product marketing creates positioning (foundation of all communication)\\n- Content marketing develops stories (features → benefits that resonate)\\n- Brand marketing establishes identity (memorable and meaningful)\\n\\nQuality of the fuel determines efficiency. Poor positioning, weak stories, inconsistent branding waste energy regardless of execution.\\n\\n### The Engine — Execution\\n\\nWhere strategy turns into action.\\n\\n- Growth marketing drives distribution (right message to the right people)\\n- Demand gen creates opportunities (attention → interest)\\n- Operations maintains systems (everything running smoothly)\\n\\nNeeds to be well-maintained and properly tuned. Right processes, tools, people in place to execute consistently.\\n\\n### The Dashboard — Analytics\\n\\nHow you know if you're heading in the right direction.\\n\\n- Metrics track performance (measuring what matters)\\n- Attribution shows what works (cause and effect)\\n- Data informs decisions (evidence over opinion)\\n\\nWithout good instrumentation, flying blind. Need both leading and lagging indicators.\\n\\n## Working with agencies — selection framework\\n\\nNot all agencies are created equal. Ranked from most appropriate for early-stage to least:\\n\\n### Individual contractors\\n- **Most flexible** — adapt quickly to changing requirements\\n- **Direct relationship** — no account-management layer\\n- **Often most cost-effective** — pay for pure expertise\\n- **Best for** specific skills (paid media op, technical SEO, video editor, designer)\\n\\nFor most pre-Series-A companies, this is the right answer for nearly all outsourced work.\\n\\n### Small niche agencies\\n- **Specialized expertise** — deep knowledge in specific areas\\n- **Personal attention** — often working directly with senior team\\n- **Often founder-led** — experienced practitioners calling the shots\\n- **Clear focus** — they know what they're good at\\n- **Best for** specialized needs with some complexity (full SEO program, lifecycle email program, brand identity work)\\n\\n### Small generalist agencies\\n- **Broader capabilities** — handle multiple needs\\n- **More resources** — team approach to problems\\n- **Multiple skill sets** — cross-functional\\n- **Usually more expensive** — paying for convenience\\n- **Best for** companies needing broader support and willing to pay for the simplicity of fewer relationships\\n\\n### Large agencies (not recommended for most startups)\\n- Long contracts, high minimums, junior account teams, slow turnaround\\n- Useful only when the brand spend is large enough to command senior attention\\n\\n## Setting agencies up for success\\n\\nThe difference between a successful and failed agency relationship usually comes down to structure and management.\\n\\n### Before starting\\n\\n- **Define clear objectives** — what specific outcomes are we seeking?\\n- **Set realistic timelines** — when do we need to see results?\\n- **Establish communication channels** — how do we stay aligned?\\n- **Agree on metrics** — what defines success?\\n- **Document processes** — how do we work together?\\n\\n### During engagement\\n\\n- **Regular check-ins** — weekly tactical, monthly strategic\\n- **Clear feedback loops** — both ways, positive and constructive\\n- **Data sharing** — give them what they need to succeed\\n- **Performance reviews** — measure against agreed metrics\\n- **Strategy alignment** — ensure they're moving with the business\\n\\n### Red flags\\n\\n- **Scope creep beyond core expertise** — trying to do too much\\n- **High team turnover** — losing institutional knowledge\\n- **Missed deadlines** — failing to deliver as promised\\n- **Poor communication** — lack of proactive updates\\n- **Unclear reporting** — can't demonstrate value\\n\\nThe best agency relationships feel like partnership: they understand the business, care about success, bring expertise you couldn't build in-house affordably. Takes work on both sides — clear expectations, open communication, mutual respect.\\n\\n## Scaling the model by stage\\n\\nThe right ratio of internal to external resources isn't static. It evolves with stage, needs, and market conditions.\\n\\n### Early stage (pre-product-market-fit)\\n\\n**Mode:** discovery and iteration\\n\\n- **Internal:** 1–2 strategic hires leading the charge (often the founder + one π-shaped marketer)\\n- **External:** specialized contractors for execution (no long-term commitment)\\n- **Agency relationships:** project-based, testing approaches before bigger investments\\n- **North star:** solid foundation while keeping fixed costs low\\n\\n### Growth stage (post-PMF, scaling what works)\\n\\n**Mode:** optimization\\n\\n- **Internal:** small but mighty core strategic team that owns marketing direction\\n- **External:** balanced mix of contractors and agencies, each chosen for specific expertise\\n- **Agency relationships:** deeper, longer-term — partners who grow with you\\n- **North star:** double down on channels and approaches that have proven successful\\n\\n### Scale stage (multi-channel, multi-segment)\\n\\n**Mode:** coordination\\n\\n- **Internal:** larger strategic team focused on coordination and oversight (not execution)\\n- **External:** specialized agencies, each bringing deep expertise in specific areas of the mix\\n- **Trusted contractor network:** flexibility for variable workloads and special projects\\n- **North star:** finding efficiencies, improving processes, maximizing return\\n\\nThe metaphor: a symphony orchestra. The internal team conducts. External partners play their instruments with expertise.\\n\\n## How this informs the plan\\n\\n| Section | What to include |\\n|---|---|\\n| **3 (Current state)** | Team composition — every person who touches marketing, what they own. Identify where the team is π-shaped vs. T-shaped vs. tactical-only. Flag gaps. |\\n| **9 (90-day roadmap)** | If the team is missing the strategic owner, the first move is the first marketing hire (Lead or Manager). If the team has strategy but no execution capacity, the first move is the first contractor or specialized agency. |\\n| **10 (12-month outlook)** | Map team evolution against funding-stage capability unlocks (see `funding-stage-unlocks.md`). When does the second hire come in? When does an agency relationship deepen? |\\n| **11 (Marketing operations stack)** | RACI is more honest with this model: \\\"owned by\\\" = internal strategic role; \\\"executed by\\\" = internal IC, contractor, or agency. The plan should make it explicit who does what. |\\n| **13 (Open decisions)** | If \\\"first marketing hire\\\" is open, name it as a top-three decision. If \\\"in-house vs agency\\\" for a specific function is open, frame the tradeoff using this doc's heuristics. |\\n\\n## Operational guardrails\\n\\n- **Don't title-inflate the first hire.** It paints the org into a corner.\\n- **Don't outsource positioning.** Even the best agency can articulate it back to you, but only if the conviction came from the team.\\n- **Don't full-time hire for a six-month sprint.** Use a contractor. The hidden cost of full-time is the months of ramp + the awkwardness of letting them go if the work doesn't compound.\\n- **Don't agency-hire to delay a strategy conversation.** Agencies execute; they don't replace strategic owners. If the internal team can't tell the agency what to do, the agency can't help.\\n- **Don't measure team size as a success metric.** Measure output, not headcount. A 4-person team with the right π-shaped leader and great external partners out-performs a 15-person team without strategic clarity.\\n\"},\n

This makes the plan investor-friendly and operationally honest.\\n\\nThis doc defines the standard tiers. Use them as anchors, adjust for client category and unit economics.\\n\\n**Related docs:**\\n- `budget-planning.md` — two scientific methods for setting the actual budget number (Revenue-Based 5–40%, or Goal-Based reverse-engineered from the revenue target), CAC calculation, experimental buffer\\n- `growth-patterns.md` — the real shape of SaaS growth by phase ($0–10K / $10K–100K / $100K–1M+), linear vs step-function, S-curve layering\\n- `team-and-agency-model.md` — what each tier means for team composition, the first marketing hire, and the in-house vs outsource ratio\\n\\n## Why funding stage matters in a marketing plan\\n\\nMost marketing plans are written as if budget is unconstrained. That's a failure mode for early-stage clients — it produces aspirational lists rather than executable roadmaps.\\n\\nThe fix: tie every recommendation to a budget tier. The plan stays honest about what's executable today, and the team / investors see explicitly what each round of capital unlocks.\\n\\nThis also helps the founder mid-raise: showing what the round buys is investor-narrative material.\\n\\n## Standard tiers\\n\\n### Tier 1 — Pre-seed / bootstrapped\\n\\n**Budget profile:**\\n- Paid acquisition: $0\\n- Tooling stack: ~$500–2,000/mo (Customer.io / similar, GA4 free, Stripe fees, Notion, GitHub, basic SaaS)\\n- Retainers / fCMO: variable (fractional only)\\n- Headcount: founders + maybe 1–2 multipurpose hires\\n\\n**Marketing capability:**\\n- Organic only — SEO, content, App Store organic, founder-led social, events, WOM, ambassador (if inbound exists)\\n- Limited PR (founder-led pitches, HARO responses)\\n- No paid layer\\n\\n**Channels live:** Organic SEO, content, App Store, LinkedIn / X / founder-led social, events, WOM, ambassador\\n\\n**What a fCMO does:** Strategy + lifecycle + content + SEO + onboarding + community + ambassador. Hands-on with skill library + MCPs doing the operational lift.\\n\\n**Hires unlocked:** None. The plan must execute with current team + agentic stack.\\n\\n### Tier 2 — Seed close\\n\\n**Budget profile:**\\n- Paid acquisition: $5–15K/mo test budget\\n- Tooling stack: $1,000–3,000/mo (paid ad accounts, Mixpanel / Amplitude if needed, additional SaaS)\\n- Retainers / fCMO: continued\\n- Headcount: + first dedicated marketing hire\\n\\n**Marketing capability:**\\n- Above + paid acquisition pilot (Apple Search Ads, Meta, LinkedIn)\\n- Begin PR push with the funding announcement\\n- First Product Hunt / GA-style launch\\n\\n**Channels live:** All Tier 1 + paid acquisition (small) + active PR\\n\\n**Hires unlocked:**\\n- Lifecycle + content marketing manager (one person doing both, or split)\\n- OR dedicated growth / performance marketing manager (if heavy paid focus)\\n\\n**fCMO shifts:** From hands-on to strategy + ops oversight.

After seed close (Tier 2): + {what changes}.\\\"\\n\\n## Adjustments by client category\\n\\nThe standard tiers assume a typical software / SaaS / consumer app. Adjust for category:\\n\\n### Consumer apps (D2C)\\n- Higher paid acquisition floor — apps need to test CAC against download cost benchmarks (~$2-10 install + 5-15% trial conversion benchmark)\\n- Tier 2 starts effectively at $10–20K/mo paid (otherwise can't get statistically meaningful reads at app-install CPMs)\\n\\n### B2B SaaS\\n- Lower paid acquisition floor — LinkedIn / Google Ads can produce signal at $3–5K/mo\\n- More weight on content + sales enablement budget\\n- Often add a sales hire before a content hire\\n\\n### Hybrid hardware + software\\n- Hardware revenue can self-fund some marketing (the eye-mask wedge pattern)\\n- Paid budget should track blended CAC across hardware sales + app subs\\n- Shopify-side optimization is a Tier 1 priority (cheap leverage)\\n\\n### Deep-tech / scientific / clinical\\n- PR + investor marketing carries more weight than paid\\n- Conference speaking + academic publishing > Meta ads\\n- Tier 1 can produce significant traction without paid\\n\\n### Marketplace / two-sided\\n- Each side has its own AARRR funnel — budget splits accordingly\\n- Supply-side acquisition often dominates early; demand-side dominates after liquidity\\n\\n### Open source / developer tools\\n- DevRel + community + content > paid\\n- GitHub stars / npm installs are the activation event\\n- Paid layer often delayed until Series A\\n\\n## Tier 1 budget detail (most common starting point)\\n\\nFor Tier 1 clients, the marketing budget breakdown typically looks like:\\n\\n| Line | Typical monthly |\\n|---|---|\\n| Customer.io / lifecycle ESP | $100–500 |\\n| App Store Connect / Google Play | $25 + 30% rev share (Apple/Google take) |\\n| Stripe | 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction |\\n| GA4 | Free |\\n| Notion | $0–100 |\\n| GitHub | $0–50 |\\n| Shopify (if hardware) | $39–100 |\\n| Ahrefs (or similar SEO tool) | $129–399 |\\n| Typefully (if social cadence) | $13–39 |\\n| Dub.co (if ambassador tracking) | $0–39 |\\n| Misc SaaS | $200–500 |\\n| **Tooling total** | **~$500–1,700/mo** |\\n| Paid acquisition | $0 |\\n| fCMO retainer | Variable |\\n\\nFor the plan, this becomes: \\\"Current monthly marketing budget: $X (tooling only, no paid).\\\"\\n\\n## When to surface tier limits to the founder\\n\\nIf a founder asks for moves that require a future tier:\\n- Name the requirement: \\\"This is a Tier 2 move (requires $10K+/mo paid budget). Will unlock after seed close per the 12-month outlook in §10.\\\"\\n- Don't refuse — frame the timing\\n\\nIf a founder underestimates what's needed:\\n- Be honest: \\\"To scale paid acquisition meaningfully, expect Tier 2 budget. Tier 1 can validate organic; Tier 2 validates paid.\\\"\\n\\nIf a founder is over-funded for their stage:\\n- Don't pad budget to match. Recommend the right work for the funnel state, return excess capacity, suggest investment in compounding rather than scaling.\\n\\n## Tier-skip cases (worth flagging)\\n\\nSome companies skip tiers:\\n- **Notable founder** raising larger-than-typical rounds — can jump from Tier 1 to Tier 3 directly\\n- **Hardware company** with PR moment — can deploy at Tier 3 levels with the right product moment (e.g., a high-profile longevity-influencer endorsement)\\n- **B2B SaaS post-LOI** with named enterprise contracts — can fund pilot deployment from contract value\\n\\nIf the client is in a tier-skip situation, name it explicitly in the plan rather than forcing them into the standard ladder.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"growth-patterns\",\"body\":\"# Growth Patterns — The Real Shape of SaaS Growth\\n\\nThe 12-month outlook in every plan (Section 10) describes a trajectory. This doc names the shape of that trajectory honestly — what real SaaS growth looks like, when to expect plateaus, and how to plan for the next leg of growth before the current one stalls.\\n\\nExcerpted and adapted from *Founding Marketing* by Corey Haines.\\n\\n## The long, slow SaaS ramp of death\\n\\nPitch decks show hockey sticks. Real growth shows a series of S-curves — each representing a distinct phase followed by a plateau that tests resolve and creativity.\\n\\n### Phase 1 — $0 → $10K ARR (the grueling phase)\\n\\nThe hardest milestone. Every customer is a hard-won victory. Typical time: **6–12 months.** Most companies pivot the product multiple times during this phase.\\n\\nWhat it requires:\\n- Runway long enough to keep experimenting until something clicks\\n- A financial cushion or additional income sources (often the difference between success and shutdown)\\n- Tolerance for ambiguity — the product positioning, the pricing, and the channel can all still be wrong at this stage\\n\\n### Phase 2 — $10K → $100K ARR (the treacherous middle)\\n\\nThe middle ground that kills most promising startups. The average company reaches ~$40K ARR in year one. The danger: enough revenue to prove the concept, not enough to support a team.\\n\\nThe threshold to watch for: **$8–10K MRR.** That's when founders can typically go full-time on the business without other income sources. Until then, careful cash management or side income carries the company through.\\n\\nCompanies that flame out in Phase 2 usually run out of runway just as things start working.\\n\\n### Phase 3 — $100K → $1M ARR (the acceleration phase)\\n\\nWhere things get interesting. Typical time: nearly 2 years total to reach $1M. But there's an acceleration pattern: **once across $100K, companies often double from $100K → $200K in one-third the time it took to reach the first $100K.**\\n\\nWhy: critical mass kicks in. Word-of-mouth starts working. Early customers become your best salespeople. The product has proven itself, and growth becomes more about execution than experimentation.\\n\\nThis is the phase where the marketing plan's 90-day roadmap (Section 9) starts compounding instead of just covering ground.\\n\\n## Two real growth patterns (and the exponential myth)\\n\\nThe myth: successful SaaS companies grow exponentially, doubling revenue month over month like clockwork.\\n\\nThe reality: two distinct patterns, often combining at scale to *look* exponential when zoomed out.\\n\\n### Pattern 1 — Linear growth\\n\\nBuild a predictable revenue machine. Find a channel that works (content, partnerships, paid, outbound) and steadily scale it. Some companies reliably add **$10K MRR per month** through a well-oiled marketing engine.\\n\\nLess sexy than exponential. Far more sustainable. Crucially, **plannable**: when you know what you can count on adding each month, hiring decisions, product roadmap, and expansion planning all become tractable.\\n\\n### Pattern 2 — Step-function growth\\n\\nPeriods of plateau followed by sudden jumps. Jumps aren't random — they're triggered by specific events:\\n- Breaking into a new market segment (e.g., enterprise after starting SMB)\\n- Launching a major product expansion (new feature line, new tier)\\n- Cracking a new marketing channel that compounds\\n\\nExample: one founder saw revenue triple in two months after launching enterprise features — following six months of flat growth.\\n\\nKey insight for the plan: **each step requires deliberate action and investment.** Steps don't happen by waiting. While standing on the current step, you have to be actively building the next one.\\n\\n### How they combine\\n\\nZoom out far enough and a series of linear phases + step functions can look exponential. That's where the myth comes from. Understanding it's actually a series of plannable shapes changes how you build the plan:\\n\\n- Don't chase the myth of doubling every month\\n- Build sustainable linear systems (Sections 4–8 AARRR moves)\\n- Plan deliberate step functions (Section 10 12-month milestones)\\n\\n## Layering growth curves — Channel × Product × Market\\n\\nThe secret to sustained growth isn't one perfect channel. It's orchestrating multiple S-curves that work together. Three S-curves to track:\\n\\n### Channel S-curves\\n\\nEvery marketing channel has its own lifecycle:\\n- **SEO** — 6–12 months to mature; once it does, steady leads for years. Marathon runner.\\n- **Paid ads** — quick wins; diminishing returns as you scale.\\n- **Content marketing** — slow to start, compounds beautifully over time.\\n- **Partnerships / co-marketing** — episodic; high yield when the right partner aligns.\\n- **Outbound** — predictable when calibrated; CAC-heavy and plateaus at team capacity.\\n- **PR** — spike-driven; sustains awareness rather than direct conversion.\\n\\n**The rule:** start the next channel before the current one plateaus. Riding one channel to its ceiling before investing in the next produces a multi-month growth plateau that takes more effort to break out of than it would have taken to start the next channel earlier.\\n\\nIn the plan: Section 4 (Acquisition) names current channels, planned channels, and skipped channels. The 12-month roadmap (Section 10) sequences when the next channel investment begins.\\n\\n### Product S-curves\\n\\nYour core product naturally hits a growth ceiling as you saturate the initial market. Pushing harder on the same features doesn't break through. What does:\\n\\n- Adding features that target new use cases\\n- Extending the product line to serve adjacent needs\\n- Expanding into new market segments (e.g., team collaboration added to a single-user tool — opens a new market)\\n\\nIn the plan: Sections 5 (Activation) and 8 (Revenue) name where the product needs to grow to unlock the next growth tier.\\n\\n### Market S-curves\\n\\nEvery market segment has its own growth ceiling. Time the expansion into the next segment while the current segment is still showing strong growth. Common patterns:\\n\\n- SMB → mid-market → enterprise\\n- Single vertical → adjacent verticals\\n- Domestic → international\\n\\nWaiting until a segment is saturated makes the transition harder.\\n\\nIn the plan: Section 2 (Strategic frame) names current segment + future segments. Section 10 (12-month outlook) sequences when expansion moves begin.\\n\\n### The orchestration\\n\\nThe real magic: while SEO is maturing, you're using paid for quick wins. As those channels mature, you're developing product features that unlock enterprise. Meanwhile, the groundwork for international expansion is being laid for when domestic saturates.\\n\\nThis is the operational thesis behind the AARRR mapping (Sections 4–8) and the 12-month outlook (Section 10): each section is a curve, and the plan sequences them so the next curve is ramping while the current one is still growing.\\n\\n## The 3-3-2-2-2 VC growth path\\n\\nFor companies that have crossed $1M ARR and raised institutional capital, the VC benchmark is:\\n\\n| Year | Multiple | Cumulative ARR (from $1M) |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Year 0 | — | $1M |\\n| Year +1 | 3× | $3M |\\n| Year +2 | 3× | $9M |\\n| Year +3 | 2× | $18M |\\n| Year +4 | 2× | $36M |\\n| Year +5 | 2× | $72M |\\n| Year +6 | 2× | $144M |\\n| Year +7 | 2× | $288M |\\n\\nMost companies don't hit this. Useful regardless — anchoring the 12-month outlook against this benchmark forces the plan to either (a) match it and show how, or (b) explicitly defend choosing a slower trajectory.\\n\\nFor non-VC-backed (bootstrapped, founder-funded, profit-focused) companies, this curve doesn't apply. Use linear or step-function targeting instead.\\n\\n## How this informs the plan\\n\\n| Section | What to include |\\n|---|---|\\n| **3 (Current state)** | Where the company is on each S-curve (channel maturity, product maturity, market saturation). Name the current phase ($0–10K / $10K–100K / $100K–1M / $1M+). |\\n| **4 (Acquisition)** | Current channels + their position on the S-curve (early / mature / plateauing). Next channel investment with rationale. |\\n| **5–8 (AARRR)** | Each section names the binding constraint at the current phase. For Phase 2 companies, Activation is usually the leverage point. For Phase 3, Retention + Referral compound the existing growth. |\\n| **9 (90-day roadmap)** | Linear-pattern moves dominate (predictable additions). Step-function setups (the build-up to a launch, an enterprise tier, a new market segment) live here. |\\n| **10 (12-month outlook)** | Sequence channel S-curves, product S-curves, market S-curves. If VC-backed Series A+, anchor against 3-3-2-2-2. If not, name the linear or step-function targets. |\\n| **13 (Measurement)** | The north-star metric reflects the current phase (Phase 1 is usually pure new-signup; Phase 3 is usually expansion ARR or NRR). |\\n\\n## Operational guidance for the planner\\n\\n- **Don't promise exponential.** If the plan implies doubling every month, the founder will use it against you in 90 days. Linear + step-function is honest.\\n- **Name the binding constraint.** Phase 1 binding constraint is finding any channel that works. Phase 2 is funding the team. Phase 3 is breaking the ceiling on whichever channel got you here.\\n- **Plateaus aren't failures.** They're the moment between two S-curves. The plan should anticipate them and stage the next move.\\n- **Don't conflate \\\"growth\\\" with \\\"growth rate.\\\"** A company adding $20K MRR each month for 24 months has built a remarkable machine. The fact that the *percentage* growth rate declines as the base grows is arithmetic, not failure.\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"idea-cross-reference\",\"body\":\"# Idea Cross-Reference — 139 Marketing Ideas Mapped to AARRR\\n\\nThe `marketing-ideas` skill catalogs 139 proven marketing tactics.

(e.g., #16 Importers only for SaaS; #19 Chrome Extensions only for browser-relevant; #136 DevRel only for dev tools)\\n- Skip ideas that don't apply, with a note\\n\\n### Step 2 — Filter for brand voice\\n\\nFor each idea, ask:\\n- Does this idea conflict with the client's brand voice?\\n- Common conflicts:\\n - **Lifetime Deals (#86)** — conflicts with premium positioning\\n - **Twitter Giveaways (#83)** — often off-brand for serious / clinical / luxury voices\\n - **Humor Marketing (#122)** — off-brand for serious / clinical voices\\n - **Cameo Marketing (#118)** — off-brand for most voices\\n - **Reality TV Marketing (#112)** — off-brand for most voices\\n\\nIf conflict, place in Skip list with explicit rationale.\\n\\n### Step 3 — Set timing status\\n\\nFor ideas that pass filters, set status:\\n- **Now (Q1)** — already in 90-day plan OR can run alongside without new capacity\\n- **Q2** — post-bedrock-fix, post-foundation; second-quarter layer-in\\n- **Q3+** — post-seed-close, post-GA; expansion moves\\n- **Q4+** — long-game / large-investment\\n\\nUse the \\\"Typical stage available\\\" column as the default. Shift earlier if client has unusual capability (e.g., a celebrity founder shifts Conference Speaking #70 from \\\"Now\\\" to \\\"Now and high-leverage\\\").\\n\\n### Step 4 — Write the client-specific note\\n\\nEvery \\\"Now / Q2 / Q3+\\\" idea gets a one-line client-specific note. Examples:\\n- For idea #11 Competitor Comparison Pages: \\\"Quietude vs. Calm / Headspace / Brain.fm / Endel / Wavepaths — high-intent SERPs\\\"\\n- For idea #133 Investor Marketing: \\\"Alex's seed raise — leverage angel backchannel for PR + intros\\\"\\n- For idea #15 Engineering as Marketing: \\\"HRV interpretation guide; nervous system self-assessment; sound bath finder directory\\\"\\n\\n### Step 5 — Sum the bank\\n\\nAfter all five AARRR tables + skip list:\\n\\n```markdown\\n### Idea-bank summary\\n\\n- {Acquisition count} ideas applicable to Acquisition (the dominant stage at {client}'s current stage)\\n- {Activation count} to Activation, {Retention count} to Retention\\n- {Referral count} to Referral\\n- {Revenue count} to Revenue\\n- {cross-cutting count} cross-cutting\\n- {skipped count} ideas skipped for brand / business-model fit\\n\\n**What this proves:** the plan is roughly X% of the available tactical surface area, not 100%. {appropriate or not for the stage} — as capacity unlocks across Q2 → Q3 → Series A, the cross-reference becomes the inventory to scale activity without losing strategic coherence.\\n```\\n\\n## How to maintain this doc\\n\\nIf `marketing-ideas` adds new ideas (it's a living skill — the 139 may become 145 or 160 over time):\\n1.

These should be:\\n- **Specific** — not \\\"improve retention,\\\" but \\\"Day 30 retention from 22% → 30%\\\"\\n- **Measurable** — pull from a wired data source\\n- **Stretch but plausible** — based on funnel state + historical patterns\\n- **Decision-triggering** — if missed, what does that mean? (Adjust strategy, kill a channel, etc.)\\n\\n### KPI target patterns by quarter\\n\\n**Q1 (foundation quarter):**\\n- Mostly *bedrock* metrics — fixing leaks. \\\"Headphones-gate conversion drop reverses.\\\" \\\"Day 1 → paid +25–50%.\\\"\\n- Some *foundation* metrics — laying tracks. \\\"4 SEO pillars staked.\\\" \\\"App Store rewrite shipped.\\\"\\n- Avoid bold growth targets — the foundations aren't in yet\\n\\n**Q2 (validation quarter):**\\n- Mostly *validation* metrics — does what we built work? \\\"Paid CAC < $X blended.\\\" \\\"Organic traffic 1,500–3,500/mo.\\\"\\n- Some *cohort* metrics — do new cohorts behave better? \\\"Day 7 retention for Q2 cohort vs. Q1.\\\"\\n\\n**Q3 (scaling quarter):**\\n- Mostly *scaling* metrics — how far does it go? \\\"Paid scaling to $20–30K/mo with CAC steady.\\\" \\\"First B2B install reference case live.\\\"\\n- Some *capability* metrics — what new things are live? \\\"First Guides pilot launched.\\\"\\n\\n**Q4 (compound quarter):**\\n- Mostly *compound* metrics — is the flywheel turning? \\\"50%+ of new subs from non-paid channels.\\\" \\\"Ambassador-driven 15–25% of new subs.\\\"\\n- Some *narrative* metrics — does the Series A story write itself? \\\"Blended LTV/CAC > 3.\\\"\\n\\n## Anchoring against the VC growth path\\n\\nFor VC-backed clients past $1M ARR, anchor 12-month and multi-year targets against the **3-3-2-2-2 rule** (3× in years 1 and 2, then 2× in years 3 through 7). Hitting it is rare; most companies don't. Anchoring against it forces the plan to either match it and show how, or explicitly defend choosing a slower trajectory. Full table and context in `growth-patterns.md`.\\n\\nFor non-VC-backed companies (bootstrapped, founder-funded, profit-focused), the 3-3-2-2-2 doesn't apply. Use linear-pattern targets (\\\"$X MRR added per month\\\") or step-function targets (\\\"$Y revenue jump after the enterprise tier launches\\\") instead.\\n\\n## Forecasting reality check\\n\\nA plan derives a budget and an annual goal. It does not produce a 12-month month-by-month forecast that's reliably accurate to the dollar.\\n\\n**Unless the company is publicly traded, all forecasts are educated guesses.** No startup under $100M ARR consistently hits month-by-month forecasts. Quarterly review is when the plan adjusts — not when variance is treated as failure.\\n\\nWhat the plan commits to honestly:\\n- The annual goal is a defensible direction-of-travel\\n- The budget is the resource commitment that makes the goal plausible\\n- The 90-day roadmap (Section 9) is what's actionable now\\n- Month-to-month projection is illustrative, not promised\\n\\nFounders who over-engineer the forecast end up explaining variance every month instead of executing. The plan should resist this — name the annual target, the quarterly KPIs, and the kill criteria. Don't promise the month.\\n\\nFull context in `budget-planning.md`.\\n\\n## Kill criteria\\n\\nFor every channel or initiative, the plan should specify when to stop. Often missing from plans, kill criteria force discipline.\\n\\nExamples:\\n- \\\"If a paid channel has CAC > 2× target after 30 days at meaningful spend, pause.\\\"\\n- \\\"If onboarding Variant 3 doesn't show statistically meaningful lift (or directional lift + congruent qualitative signal) after 4 weeks, move to Variant 1.\\\"\\n- \\\"If lifecycle Flow 4 has open rate < 12% after 6 weeks, redo subject lines + audience segmentation.\\\"\\n\\n## Guardrail metrics\\n\\nSome metrics get a hard guardrail (cannot drop below threshold). Useful for protecting brand or unit economics during aggressive growth.\\n\\nExamples:\\n- \\\"Brand voice complaint rate > 1% of customer feedback triggers content review.\\\"\\n- \\\"Paid CAC > $X for two consecutive months pauses paid scaling pending audit.\\\"\\n- \\\"App Store rating drops below 4.5 triggers product review.\\\"\\n\\n## Data sources mapping\\n\\nThe plan should name where each metric comes from. This makes it auditable.\\n\\n| Metric | Source |\\n|---|---|\\n| Organic traffic | GA4 / Ahrefs |\\n| App Store conversion | App Store Connect |\\n| Funnel conversion (Day N → paid) | Internal analytics (Mixpanel / Amplitude) or App Store Connect cohort export |\\n| Retention | Customer.io segments + product analytics |\\n| MRR / ARR | Stripe (via MCP if wired) |\\n| Plan mix | Stripe |\\n| Lifecycle email metrics | Customer.io |\\n| Ambassador attribution | Dub.co |\\n| Hardware → app activation | Shopify + App Store + internal join |\\n| NPS | Survey tool (Customer.io / Typeform / SurveyMonkey) |\\n\\n## When data isn't wired\\n\\nIf a metric can't currently be measured, flag it in Section 13's open decisions. Example:\\n\\n> \\\"Hardware → app activation rate not currently visible in the App Store dashboard. Requires Shopify ↔ App Store Connect join. Q1 work item.\\\"\\n\\nA plan with un-measurable goals is a plan that can't be validated. Surface the instrumentation work explicitly.\\n\\n## Reporting cadence + automation\\n\\nWhere possible, auto-generate the metrics review rather than building it manually each time. Stripe MCP + GA4 MCP + Customer.io MCP can pull most of what's needed.\\n\\nFor Tier 1 clients, a simple weekly metrics email to the team (Markdown table, generated via skills + MCPs) costs nothing and creates discipline.\\n\\nFor Tier 2+ clients, consider a real dashboard (Hex, Metabase, Looker, or internal tool).\\n\"},\n {\"skill\":\"marketing-plan\",\"ref\":\"methodology\",\"body\":\"# Methodology — How a Marketing Plan Gets Made\\n\\nThe three-phase workflow that produces a comprehensive marketing plan.

It's the source of truth for resumption. Schema:\\n\\n```markdown\\n# {Client} — Marketing Plan Progress\\n\\nphase: init | review | finalize | finalized\\ncurrent_section: \\nplan_version: v1\\nlast_updated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM\\n\\n## Sections completed\\n- [ ] 2.

(list as they're written)\\n\\n## Notes\\n\\n```\\n\\n### Step 1.1.2 — Resumption decision tree\\n\\nOn every invocation, check state in this order:\\n\\n1. **No `{client-slug}/` folder** → fresh plan. Create folder + `materials/` + empty `sections/`. Start INIT (Step 1.2).\\n2. **Folder exists, no `research.md`** → INIT was interrupted. Resume from Step 1.2.\\n3. **`research.md` exists, no `progress.md`** → INIT done, REVIEW not started. Create `progress.md`, start REVIEW from Section 2.\\n4. **`progress.md` exists, `phase: review`** → REVIEW in progress. Resume from `current_section` (or first unchecked box).\\n5. **`progress.md` exists, `phase: finalize`** → FINALIZE was interrupted. Re-run Phase 3.\\n6. **`progress.md` exists, `phase: finalized`** → plan is done. **Do not silently overwrite.** Ask the user: *\\\"This plan is finalized (v{N}). Want to (a) revise it as v{N+1}, (b) start a fresh plan in a new folder, or (c) re-open a specific section?\\\"*\\n\\nUpdate `phase` and `last_updated` whenever state changes.\\n\\n### Step 1.2 — Read existing materials\\n\\nIf `materials/` has files, read all of them. Common drops:\\n- Pitch deck / investor deck\\n- Positioning doc / brand voice doc\\n- Customer research / ICP doc\\n- App Store metrics / analytics snapshot\\n- Lifecycle email inventory\\n- Prior audit output (any scored current-state assessment the team has run)\\n- SEO research (`seo/plan.md`, `seo/keyword-shortlist.md`)\\n- Kickoff call transcript\\n- Founder Slack / async notes\\n\\nRead everything. Capture key facts to `research.md` as you go.\\n\\n### Step 1.3 — Pull live data where wired\\n\\nIf MCPs/APIs are wired for this client, pull:\\n\\n- **Ahrefs** → domain rating, organic keywords, backlinks, top pages, ref domains (per `/seo-audit` skill)\\n- **GA4 MCP** → traffic by channel, conversion events, retention curves\\n- **Stripe MCP** → MRR, ARR, churn, plan mix, blended LTV by cohort\\n- **App Store Connect** (manual or `dev-browser`) → install → trial → paid funnel; cohort retention\\n- **Customer.io MCP** → flow inventory, send / open / click / unsubscribe rates\\n- **Shopify** → product page conversion, AOV, repeat rate\\n- **GitHub MCP** → repos inventory, last commit dates, what's stale\\n- **Notion** → internal knowledge directory if exposed\\n\\nDon't ask the user to copy/paste data that can be pulled directly.\\n\\n### Step 1.4 — Conduct structured intake\\n\\nFor every gap in the materials, ask the user. The minimum intake covers ten topics:\\n\\n#### Intake 1 — Client overview\\n- What does the company do, in one sentence (founder's words)?\\n- What's the primary product?\\n- What other products / SKUs / tiers exist?\\n- Is the product live, beta, or pre-launch?\\n- If beta: throttling? GA timeline?\\n\\n#### Intake 2 — ICP\\n- Who are you for, in one sentence?\\n- What do they say they want?\\n- What do they actually want?\\n- What's their stated problem? Their real problem?\\n- Demographics / firmographics: who fits the ICP exactly?\\n\\n#### Intake 3 — Funnel state today\\n- What are the current funnel numbers? (signups, activations, paid, retention)\\n- What's the funnel *shape* — is it bottle-necked at top, middle, or bottom?\\n- What's the biggest leak?\\n\\n#### Intake 4 — Funding state\\n- Current round (pre-seed / seed / Series A / etc.)?\\n- Total raised to date?\\n- Current burn / runway?\\n- Active raise? Closing when?\\n- Investors of note?\\n- Permission to mention fCMO engagement in pitches?\\n\\n#### Intake 5 — Team\\n- Founders and what each owns (product, marketing, sales, etc.)?\\n- Other roles on the team and their marketing surface area?\\n- Advisors who touch marketing?\\n- Agencies / contractors / fractionals?\\n- Where are the obvious gaps?\\n- For the team's current marketing owner (if there is one): is the shape π-shaped (two deep skill sets), T-shaped (one deep, broad), or tactical-only? See `team-and-agency-model.md` for the framework that informs Section 11 RACI and the first-hire recommendation in Section 9.\\n\\n#### Intake 6 — Budget\\n- Current monthly marketing spend, broken down: paid acquisition, tools, retainers, headcount?\\n- Budget tier this maps to (see `funding-stage-unlocks.md`)?\\n- What budget unlocks when the next round closes?\\n- Blended CAC if known (including salaries, content costs, tools, retainers — not just paid ad spend). If unknown, flag as the top Section 13 open decision — every revenue projection depends on it.\\n- ARPC, annual retention rate (or churn rate), so the budget math in `budget-planning.md` can be applied to Section 8 (Revenue) and Section 10 (12-month outlook).\\n\\n#### Intake 7 — Channels currently active\\n- Acquisition: organic SEO, paid search, paid social, content, social, partnerships, events, PR, ambassadors, etc. — for each, status (live / paused / never tried)\\n- Activation: onboarding state, signup flow, paywall, first-session experience, app store listing\\n- Retention: lifecycle email state, in-app upsells, churn cohort\\n- Referral: program existence, attribution, inbound interest\\n- Revenue: pricing structure, plan mix, recent experiments\\n\\n#### Intake 8 — Already done\\nWhat past work should this plan acknowledge?\\n- Major launches and dates\\n- PR moments and who covered\\n- Content pillars / hubs / cornerstone pieces\\n- Partnerships\\n- Awards / certifications\\n- Notable customers / users (if consumer-named users)\\n- Past advisors / fractionals\\n\\n#### Intake 9 — In-flight and stuck\\n- What's drafted but not shipped? Why?\\n- What's been \\\"almost ready\\\" for months?\\n- What's blocking each?\\n- What's broken or actively harmful?\\n\\n#### Intake 10 — Strategic posture\\n- The most important thing to fix this quarter (founder's read)\\n- The most important thing to ignore this quarter (founder's read)\\n- What investors / board are asking about most\\n- Any constraints not visible elsewhere (legal, partnership-related, brand-related)\\n\\n### Step 1.5 — Score current state against the rubric\\n\\nUse the 17-section rubric in `references/current-state-rubric.md` as your scoring lens. Two modes:\\n\\n- **From rich materials.** When the team has shared decks, prior content audits, an existing brand voice doc, recent positioning work, or a kickoff call transcript — score from those. Mark \\\"scored from materials\\\" in the section heading.\\n- **From a separately scored audit.** If the team already has a scored current-state assessment (in any format), ingest those numbers directly. Don't redo the work.\\n\\nEither way, the output is the scored 17-row table that becomes Section 3 of the plan, followed by a 2–4 sentence \\\"shape interpretation\\\" calling out where strengths and gaps cluster.\\n\\n### Step 1.6 — Write research.md\\n\\nCompile everything into `research.md` with this structure:\\n\\n```markdown\\n# {Client} — Marketing Plan Research Record\\n\\n**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD\\n**Author:** (fCMO / planner name)\\n\\n## Company snapshot\\n- One-sentence description\\n- Stage (pre-seed / seed / Series A / etc.)\\n- Product status (beta / GA)\\n\\n## ICP\\n- Primary ICP\\n- Stated vs. actual problem\\n- Demographics / firmographics\\n\\n## Funnel state today\\n- Current numbers\\n- Funnel shape\\n- Biggest leak\\n\\n## Funding\\n- Total raised\\n- Current round status\\n- Runway\\n\\n## Team\\n- Founders and ownership\\n- Marketing surface area by person\\n- Gaps\\n\\n## Current marketing budget\\n- $/mo total\\n- Breakdown\\n- Tier mapping\\n\\n## Channels currently active\\n[By AARRR stage]\\n\\n## Already done (acknowledge in plan)\\n[List]\\n\\n## In-flight and stuck\\n[List with blockers]\\n\\n## Strategic posture\\n- Founder's top priority\\n- Founder's top de-prioritization\\n- Investor pressure points\\n- Constraints\\n\\n## Current-state rubric scores\\n[17 section scores using `references/current-state-rubric.md`. If a prior scored audit exists, paste those scores. Otherwise mark \\\"scored from materials.\\\"]\\n\\n## Materials read\\n[List of files in materials/ + when read]\\n```\\n\\nSave. Move to Phase 2.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Phase 2 — REVIEW (section-by-section drafting)\\n\\n**Goal:** Walk through all 13 sections of the plan template (`references/plan-template.md`), drafting each, getting user confirmation, saving as you go.\\n\\n### Step 2.1 — Initialize progress.md\\n\\nUse the schema defined in Step 1.1.1 above. Set `phase: review`, `current_section: 2`, `plan_version: v1`, and stamp `last_updated`.\\n\\n### Step 2.2 — Walk each section in this order: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, then 1\\n\\nSection 1 (Executive Summary) is drafted **last** because it depends on every other section's conclusions. Walk Sections 2 → 13 in numeric order, then synthesize Section 1 from the others. The final compiled `final_plan.md` is always presented in canonical order 1 → 13.\\n\\nFor each section, use the template at `references/plan-template.md` to draft. Then in chat:\\n\\n1. Present the draft (or key bullets — short sections inline, long sections as bullet outline first)\\n2. Ask: *\\\"Approve, adjust, or expand?\\\"*\\n3. Iterate until user confirms\\n4. Save the confirmed text to `sections/01.md` ... `sections/13.md` (one file per section, zero-padded for sort order). This is the canonical persisted artifact — recovery depends on it.\\n5. Check the box in `progress.md`\\n6. Move to next section\\n\\n### Step 2.3 — Section-specific guidance\\n\\n**Section 1 (Executive summary)** is synthesized from Sections 2–13 after they're all approved. Draft it last; present it first in the output document.\\n\\n**Section 3 (Current state)** uses the embedded 17-section rubric in `references/current-state-rubric.md`. If a prior scored audit exists, paste those scores in. If not, score from available materials.\\n\\n**Sections 4–8 (AARRR)** each follow the same internal structure: current state, the plan (numbered moves), 90-day moves, 12-month outlook, skills + tools. Don't skip the skills + tools sub-section — it's what makes the plan operationally honest.\\n\\n**Section 11 (Marketing operations stack)** is auto-generatable from `references/ops-stack-mapping.md` plus the specific moves named in Sections 4–8.\\n\\n**Section 12 (Idea bank)** is auto-generatable from `references/idea-cross-reference.md` plus client-specific filters (skip ideas that conflict with brand voice; status moves based on funding-stage timing).\\n\\n**Section 13** lives at the end. Open decisions should be ranked by impact. Appendix should reference only files the team can access (warn about machine-local paths).\\n\\n### Step 2.4 — Brand voice consistency\\n\\nIf the client has documented brand voice rules (captured in research.md / Section 2), every section must respect them. Common voice constraints:\\n- Vocabulary rules (YES / NO lists)\\n- CTA rules (e.g., \\\"never pressure\\\")\\n- Initiatory vs. explanatory framing\\n- Tone (e.g., authoritative-yet-accessible, intimate-yet-professional)\\n\\nIf a section's draft violates the brand voice, redo it before showing it to the user.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Phase 3 — FINALIZE (compile + verify + publish)\\n\\n**Goal:** Produce `final_plan.md` and optionally publish to a shared repo.\\n\\n### Step 3.1 — Compile\\n\\nSet `phase: finalize` in `progress.md` before starting. Concatenate `sections/01.md` through `sections/13.md` into `final_plan.md` (canonical order 1 → 13, regardless of drafting order). Add:\\n- Title header with date and \\\"v1\\\" version marker\\n- \\\"Prepared by / For / Date / Status\\\" frontmatter\\n- Section anchors that work in Notion paste\\n\\n### Step 3.2 — Verification pass\\n\\nBefore printing:\\n\\n- **Cross-reference check** — every marketing-ideas number (e.g., \\\"idea #17\\\") matches the actual idea in `references/idea-cross-reference.md`. Every related-skill mention either exists in the `marketingskills` repo or is documented as an external dependency (see ops-stack-mapping note on cross-marketplace skills).\\n- **MCP/API check** — every tool mentioned in Section 11 actually exists in the user's stack (per research.md intake) OR is flagged as \\\"future / not yet wired.\\\"\\n- **Path check** — no machine-specific paths (`/Users/...`, `/home/...`) in the output. Replace with descriptive references.\\n- **Voice check** — final read against brand voice rules. Flag and fix violations.\\n- **Open-decisions check** — every \\\"TBD\\\" or unanswered question from intake is listed in Section 13's open decisions, not hidden in the body.\\n- **Acknowledge check** — every item from \\\"already done\\\" in research.md is acknowledged somewhere in the plan.\\n\\n### Step 3.3 — Print\\n\\nOutput `final_plan.md` to the plan folder. Print a summary to chat:\\n\\n> *\\\"Marketing Plan v1 saved to `~/marketing-plans/{client-slug}/final_plan.md`. ~X,XXX words across 13 sections. Ready to paste into Notion or share with the team.\\\"*\\n\\n### Step 3.4 — Publish (optional)\\n\\nAsk the user:\\n> *\\\"Want me to publish this to a shared GitHub repo so the team can access it? If yes, what's the target repo and path (e.g., `{client-org}/{client-context}/marketing/plan.md`)?\\\"*\\n\\nIf yes:\\n- Clone (or assume cloned) target repo\\n- Check out a feature branch or push direct to main per user's preference\\n- Copy `final_plan.md` to the target path\\n- Adjust the appendix to use repo-relative paths (not machine paths)\\n- Commit + push\\n- Confirm with commit URL\\n\\nIf no: leave it local. Done.\\n\\n### Step 3.5 — Mark finalized\\n\\nSet `phase: finalized` in `progress.md` and stamp `last_updated`. This is the terminal state and prevents future `/marketing-plan` invocations from silently overwriting the plan (see Step 1.1.2 case 6).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Resuming a plan\\n\\nResumption is governed entirely by the decision tree in Step 1.1.2 above — always check state in that order on every invocation.\\n\\nIf the user says *\\\"start over\\\"* → ask whether they want to delete the existing folder or move it to `archive/` first; don't silently overwrite.\\nIf the user says *\\\"redo Section X\\\"* → uncheck that box in `progress.md`, delete `sections/0X.md`, and re-draft.\\n\\n## Failure modes to watch for\\n\\n- **Skipping intake.** A plan written without proper intake is generic and won't survive contact with the founder. Always do the full ten-topic intake unless the user explicitly waives it.\\n- **Pretending data exists.** If you can't confirm a number (current MRR, retention rate, etc.), don't guess. Mark it `[TBD — to confirm with team]` in the plan and add to open decisions.\\n- **Ignoring the brand voice.** If the client has a strong voice (most do), every section must respect it. Read the voice rules before drafting any copy-adjacent text.\\n- **Padding the idea bank.** Section 12 is comprehensive only if it includes the skip list with reasons. Don't pad with ideas that clearly don't fit just to hit the 139.\\n- **Glossing over uncomfortable metrics.** If churn is high or activation is low, name it in Current State. Founders read past sugar-coating.\\n- **Forgetting funding-stage logic.** If the client is mid-raise, the plan must explain what changes when the round closes. Skipping this turns a plan into a wish-list.\\n\"}\n];\n",[],[363,603,709],"f3604b34-5d6d-11f1-961a-1607ee4eb77e","ref_1.ts","f3604bf2-5d6d-11f1-961a-1607ee4eb77e",653,["D",1780286224098],"// GENERATED by deploy/gen_skills_catalog.mjs — do not edit by hand.\nimport type { SkillRef } from \"../index.ts\";\nexport const REFS_PART_1: SkillRef[] = [\n {\"skill\":\"ab-testing\",\"ref\":\"sample-size-guide\",\"body\":\"# Sample Size Guide\\n\\nReference for calculating sample sizes and test duration.\\n\\n## Contents\\n- Sample Size Fundamentals (required inputs, what these mean)\\n- Sample Size Quick Reference Tables\\n- Duration Calculator (formula, examples, minimum duration rules, maximum duration guidelines)\\n- Online Calculators\\n- Adjusting for Multiple Variants\\n- Common Sample Size Mistakes\\n- When Sample Size Requirements Are Too High\\n- Sequential Testing\\n- Quick Decision Framework\\n\\n## Sample Size Fundamentals\\n\\n### Required Inputs\\n\\n1. **Baseline conversion rate**: Your current rate\\n2. **Minimum detectable effect (MDE)**: Smallest change worth detecting\\n3. **Statistical significance level**: Usually 95% (α = 0.05)\\n4. **Statistical power**: Usually 80% (β = 0.20)\\n\\n### What These Mean\\n\\n**Baseline conversion rate**: If your page converts at 5%, that's your baseline.\\n\\n**MDE (Minimum Detectable Effect)**: The smallest improvement you care about detecting.

Decision Tree\\n\\n```\\nNeed video ads?\\n├── Templated, data-driven (same structure, different data)\\n│ └── Use Remotion\\n├── Unique creative from prompts (exploratory)\\n│ ├── Need dialogue/voiceover? → Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6, Seedance 2.0\\n│ ├── Need consistency across scenes? → Runway Gen-4\\n│ ├── Need vertical social video? → Veo 3.1 (native 9:16)\\n│ ├── Need high volume at low cost? → Seedance 2.0\\n│ └── Need cinematic camera work? → Higgsfield, Kling\\n└── Both → Use AI gen for hero creative, Remotion for variations\\n\\nNeed image ads?\\n├── Need

in URL |\\n| Display path 2 | 15 chars | Optional | Appears after path 1 |\\n| Final URL | No limit | Required | Landing page URL |\\n\\n**Combination rules:**\\n- Google selects up to 3 headlines and 2 descriptions to show\\n- Headlines appear separated by \\\" | \\\" or stacked\\n- Any headline can appear in any position unless pinned\\n- Pinning reduces Google's ability to optimize — use sparingly\\n\\n**Pinning strategy:**\\n- Pin your brand name to position 1 if brand guidelines require it\\n- Pin your strongest CTA to position 2 or 3\\n- Leave most headlines unpinned for machine learning\\n\\n**Headline mix recommendation (15 headlines):**\\n- 3-4 keyword-focused (match search intent)\\n- 3-4 benefit-focused (what they get)\\n- 2-3 social proof (numbers, awards,

chars)\\n- Use line breaks for readability in longer primary text\\n- Emojis: test, but don't overuse — 1-2 per ad max\\n- Questions in primary text increase engagement\\n- Headline should be a clear

casual tone\\n- Short sentences work best\\n- One clear message per tweet\\n- Hashtags: 1-2 max (0 is often better for ads)\\n- Threads can work for consideration-stage content\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Character Counting Tips\\n\\n- **Spaces count** as characters on all platforms\\n- **Emojis** count as 1-2 characters depending on platform\\n- **Special characters** (|, &, etc.) count as 1 character\\n- **URLs** in body text count against limits\\n- **Dynamic keyword insertion** (`{KeyWord:default}`) can exceed limits — set safe defaults\\n- Always verify in the platform's ad preview before launching\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Multi-Platform Creative Adaptation\\n\\nWhen creating for multiple platforms simultaneously, start with the most restrictive format:\\n\\n1. **Google Search headlines** (30 chars) — forces the tightest messaging\\n2. **Expand to Meta headlines** (40 chars) — add a word or two\\n3. **Expand to LinkedIn intro text** (150 chars) — add context and proof\\n4. **Expand to Meta primary text** (125+ chars) — full hook and value prop\\n\\nThis cascading approach ensures your core message works everywhere, then gets enriched for platforms that allow more

(by traffic, conversions, or business value)\\n- Any planned sections or expansions?\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Site Types and Starting Points\\n\\n| Site Type | Typical Depth | Key Sections | URL Pattern |\\n|-----------|--------------|--------------|-------------|\\n| SaaS marketing | 2-3 levels | Home, Features, Pricing, Blog, Docs | `/features/name`, `/blog/slug` |\\n| Content/blog | 2-3 levels | Home, Blog, Categories, About | `/blog/slug`, `/category/slug` |\\n| E-commerce | 3-4 levels | Home, Categories, Products, Cart | `/category/subcategory/product` |\\n| Documentation | 3-4 levels | Home, Guides, API Reference | `/docs/section/page` |\\n| Hybrid SaaS+content | 3-4 levels | Home, Product, Blog, Resources, Docs | `/product/feature`, `/blog/slug` |\\n| Small business | 1-2 levels | Home, Services, About, Contact | `/services/name` |\\n\\n**For full page hierarchy templates**: See [references/site-type-templates.md](references/site-type-templates.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Page Hierarchy Design\\n\\n### The 3-Click Rule\\n\\nUsers should reach any important page within 3 clicks from the homepage. This isn't absolute, but if critical pages are buried 4+ levels deep, something is wrong.\\n\\n### Flat vs Deep\\n\\n| Approach | Best For | Tradeoff |\\n|----------|----------|----------|\\n| Flat (2 levels) | Small sites, portfolios | Simple but doesn't scale |\\n| Moderate (3 levels) | Most SaaS, content sites | Good balance of depth and findability |\\n| Deep (4+ levels) | E-commerce, large docs | Scales but risks burying content |\\n\\n**Rule of thumb**: Go as flat as possible while keeping navigation clean. If a nav dropdown has 20+ items, add a level of hierarchy.\\n\\n### Hierarchy Levels\\n\\n| Level | What It Is | Example |\\n|-------|-----------|---------|\\n| L0 | Homepage | `/` |\\n| L1 | Primary sections | `/features`, `/blog`, `/pricing` |\\n| L2 | Section pages | `/features/analytics`, `/blog/seo-guide` |\\n| L3+ | Detail pages | `/docs/api/authentication` |\\n\\n### ASCII Tree Format\\n\\nUse this format for page hierarchies:\\n\\n```\\nHomepage (/)\\n├── Features (/features)\\n│ ├── Analytics (/features/analytics)\\n│ ├── Automation (/features/automation)\\n│ └── Integrations (/features/integrations)\\n├── Pricing (/pricing)\\n├── Blog (/blog)\\n│ ├── [Category: SEO] (/blog/category/seo)\\n│ └── [Category: CRO] (/blog/category/cro)\\n├── Resources (/resources)\\n│ ├── Case Studies (/resources/case-studies)\\n│ └── Templates (/resources/templates)\\n├── Docs (/docs)\\n│ ├── Getting Started (/docs/getting-started)\\n│ └── API Reference (/docs/api)\\n├── About (/about)\\n│ └── Careers (/about/careers)\\n└── Contact (/contact)\\n```\\n\\n**When to use ASCII vs Mermaid**:\\n- ASCII: quick hierarchy drafts, text-only contexts, simple structures\\n- Mermaid: visual presentations, complex relationships, showing nav zones or linking patterns\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Navigation Design\\n\\n### Navigation Types\\n\\n| Nav Type | Purpose | Placement |\\n|----------|---------|-----------|\\n| Header nav | Primary navigation, always visible | Top of every page |\\n| Dropdown menus | Organize sub-pages under parent | Expands from header items |\\n| Footer nav | Secondary links, legal, sitemap | Bottom of every page |\\n| Sidebar nav | Section navigation (docs, blog) | Left side within a section |\\n| Breadcrumbs | Show current location in hierarchy | Below header, above content |\\n| Contextual links | Related content, next steps | Within page content |\\n\\n### Header Navigation Rules\\n\\n- **4-7 items max** in the primary nav (more causes decision paralysis)\\n- **CTA button** goes rightmost (e.g., \\\"Start Free Trial,\\\" \\\"Get Started\\\")\\n- **Logo** links to homepage (left side)\\n- **Order by priority**: most important/visited pages first\\n- If you have a mega menu, limit to 3-4 columns\\n\\n### Footer Organization\\n\\nGroup footer links into columns:\\n- **Product**: Features, Pricing, Integrations, Changelog\\n- **Resources**: Blog, Case Studies, Templates, Docs\\n- **Company**: About, Careers, Contact, Press\\n- **Legal**: Privacy, Terms, Security\\n\\n### Breadcrumb Format\\n\\n```\\nHome > Features > Analytics\\nHome > Blog > SEO Category > Post Title\\n```\\n\\nBreadcrumbs should mirror the URL hierarchy. Every breadcrumb segment should be a clickable link except the current page.\\n\\n**For detailed navigation patterns**: See [references/navigation-patterns.md](references/navigation-patterns.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## URL Structure\\n\\n### Design Principles\\n\\n1. **Readable by humans** — `/features/analytics` not `/f/a123`\\n2. **Hyphens, not underscores** — `/blog/seo-guide` not `/blog/seo_guide`\\n3. **Reflect the hierarchy** — URL path should match site structure\\n4. **Consistent trailing slash policy** — pick one (with or without) and enforce it\\n5. **Lowercase always** — `/About` should redirect to `/about`\\n6. **Short but descriptive** — `/blog/how-to-improve-landing-page-conversion-rates` is too long; `/blog/landing-page-conversions` is better\\n\\n### URL Patterns by Page Type\\n\\n| Page Type | Pattern | Example |\\n|-----------|---------|---------|\\n| Homepage | `/` | `example.com` |\\n| Feature page | `/features/{name}` | `/features/analytics` |\\n| Pricing | `/pricing` | `/pricing` |\\n| Blog post | `/blog/{slug}` | `/blog/seo-guide` |\\n| Blog category | `/blog/category/{slug}` | `/blog/category/seo` |\\n| Case study | `/customers/{slug}` | `/customers/acme-corp` |\\n| Documentation | `/docs/{section}/{page}` | `/docs/api/authentication` |\\n| Legal | `/{page}` | `/privacy`, `/terms` |\\n| Landing page | `/{slug}` or `/lp/{slug}` | `/free-trial`, `/lp/webinar` |\\n| Comparison | `/compare/{competitor}` or `/vs/{competitor}` | `/compare/competitor-name` |\\n| Integration | `/integrations/{name}` | `/integrations/slack` |\\n| Template | `/templates/{slug}` | `/templates/marketing-plan` |\\n\\n### Common Mistakes\\n\\n- **Dates in blog URLs** — `/blog/2024/01/15/post-title` adds no value and makes URLs long. Use `/blog/post-title`.\\n- **Over-nesting** — `/products/category/subcategory/item/detail` is too deep. Flatten where possible.\\n- **Changing URLs without redirects** — Every old URL needs a 301 redirect to its new URL. Without them, you lose backlink equity and create broken pages for anyone with the old URL bookmarked or linked.\\n- **IDs in URLs** — `/product/12345` is not human-readable. Use slugs.\\n- **Query parameters for content** — `/blog?id=123` should be `/blog/post-title`.\\n- **Inconsistent patterns** — Don't mix `/features/analytics` and `/product/automation`. Pick one parent.\\n\\n### Breadcrumb-URL Alignment\\n\\nThe breadcrumb trail should mirror the URL path:\\n\\n| URL | Breadcrumb |\\n|-----|-----------|\\n| `/features/analytics` | Home > Features > Analytics |\\n| `/blog/seo-guide` | Home > Blog > SEO Guide |\\n| `/docs/api/auth` | Home > Docs > API > Authentication |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Visual Sitemap Output (Mermaid)\\n\\nUse Mermaid `graph TD` for visual sitemaps. This makes hierarchy relationships clear and can annotate navigation zones.\\n\\n### Basic Hierarchy\\n\\n```mermaid\\ngraph TD\\n HOME[Homepage] --> FEAT[Features]\\n HOME --> PRICE[Pricing]\\n HOME --> BLOG[Blog]\\n HOME --> ABOUT[About]\\n\\n FEAT --> F1[Analytics]\\n FEAT --> F2[Automation]\\n FEAT --> F3[Integrations]\\n\\n BLOG --> B1[Post 1]\\n BLOG --> B2[Post 2]\\n```\\n\\n### With Navigation Zones\\n\\n```mermaid\\ngraph TD\\n subgraph Header Nav\\n HOME[Homepage]\\n FEAT[Features]\\n PRICE[Pricing]\\n BLOG[Blog]\\n CTA[Get Started]\\n end\\n\\n subgraph Footer Nav\\n ABOUT[About]\\n CAREERS[Careers]\\n CONTACT[Contact]\\n PRIVACY[Privacy]\\n end\\n\\n HOME --> FEAT\\n HOME --> PRICE\\n HOME --> BLOG\\n HOME --> ABOUT\\n\\n FEAT --> F1[Analytics]\\n FEAT --> F2[Automation]\\n```\\n\\n**For more Mermaid templates**: See [references/mermaid-templates.md](references/mermaid-templates.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Internal Linking Strategy\\n\\n### Link Types\\n\\n| Type | Purpose | Example |\\n|------|---------|---------|\\n| Navigational | Move between sections | Header, footer, sidebar links |\\n| Contextual | Related content within text | \\\"Learn more about [analytics](/features/analytics)\\\" |\\n| Hub-and-spoke | Connect cluster content to hub | Blog posts linking to pillar page |\\n| Cross-section | Connect related pages across sections | Feature page linking to related case study |\\n\\n### Internal Linking Rules\\n\\n1. **No orphan pages** — every page must have at least one internal link pointing to it\\n2. **Descriptive anchor text** — \\\"our analytics features\\\" not \\\"click here\\\"\\n3. **5-10 internal links per 1000 words** of content (approximate guideline)\\n4. **Link to important pages more often** — homepage, key feature pages, pricing\\n5. **Use breadcrumbs** — free internal links on every page\\n6. **Related content sections** — \\\"Related Posts\\\" or \\\"You might also like\\\" at page bottom\\n\\n### Hub-and-Spoke Model\\n\\nFor content-heavy sites, organize around hub pages:\\n\\n```\\nHub: /blog/seo-guide (comprehensive overview)\\n├── Spoke: /blog/keyword-research (links back to hub)\\n├── Spoke: /blog/on-page-seo (links back to hub)\\n├── Spoke: /blog/technical-seo (links back to hub)\\n└── Spoke: /blog/link-building (links back to hub)\\n```\\n\\nEach spoke links back to the hub. The hub links to all spokes. Spokes link to each other where relevant.\\n\\n### Link Audit Checklist\\n\\n- [ ] Every page has at least one inbound internal link\\n- [ ] No broken internal links (404s)\\n- [ ] Anchor text is descriptive (not \\\"click here\\\" or \\\"read more\\\")\\n- [ ] Important pages have the most inbound internal links\\n- [ ] Breadcrumbs are implemented on all pages\\n- [ ] Related content links exist on blog posts\\n- [ ] Cross-section links connect features to case studies, blog to product pages\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\nWhen creating a site architecture plan, provide these deliverables:\\n\\n### 1. Page Hierarchy (ASCII Tree)\\nFull site structure with URLs at each node. Use the ASCII tree format from the Page Hierarchy Design section.\\n\\n### 2.

Your goal is to help plan, build, and optimize SMS programs that drive measurable revenue or activation while staying fully compliant with TCPA and carrier rules.\\n\\n## Before Starting\\n\\n**Check for product marketing context first:**\\nIf `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.\\n\\nGather this context (ask if not provided):\\n\\n### 1. Business Type\\n- B2C ecom / DTC, B2B SaaS, mobile app, services, fintech\\n- Order volume or list size (SMS economics depend on scale)\\n- Geographic mix (US, EU, both — compliance differs dramatically)\\n\\n### 2. Current State\\n- Existing SMS program (platform, list size, opt-in rate, opt-out rate, revenue/send)\\n- Email program (SMS works best as a layer on top, not a replacement)\\n- Phone number type: short code, toll-free, long code (10DLC)\\n\\n### 3. Compliance Posture\\n- US: A2P 10DLC registration complete? (Required since 2022 — without it, your messages get filtered)\\n- Opt-in mechanism in use? (Checkbox, keyword opt-in, double opt-in)\\n- Privacy policy + terms include SMS disclosures?\\n\\n### 4. Goal\\n- Drive revenue (promotional, cart recovery, post-purchase)\\n- Drive activation (welcome, onboarding, milestone nudges)\\n- Transactional (order updates, auth codes, alerts)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## When SMS Beats Email\\n\\nSMS is not \\\"another email.\\\" Use it where the channel's properties win:\\n\\n| Use Case | SMS or Email? | Why |\\n|----------|---------------|-----|\\n| Abandoned cart recovery | **SMS first** | 98% open rate within 3 min vs 20% for email in 24h |\\n| Order/shipping updates | **SMS** | Customers want it now, on their phone |\\n| Flash sale / limited drop | **SMS** | Urgency channel; immediate read |\\n| Auth codes / 2FA | **SMS** (or app) | Latency-sensitive, must arrive in seconds |\\n| Welcome series | **Email primary, SMS layer** | Email carries the long-form content |\\n| Educational nurture | **Email** | Too much text for SMS, costs add up |\\n| Newsletter | **Email** | Wrong channel for SMS |\\n| Win-back lapsed customers | **Both** | SMS for the strong nudge, email for the offer detail |\\n| Post-purchase upsell | **SMS** | High open rate, ride the purchase momentum |\\n\\n**General rule**: SMS earns the right to interrupt because of opt-in. Use it for messages that genuinely benefit from immediacy. If it could wait 24 hours, send it via email.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Compliance — Read First\\n\\n**Compliance is the foundation, not an afterthought.** A single TCPA class-action settlement runs $5M–$40M. The basics:\\n\\n### US — TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)\\n\\n1. **Express written consent** required for marketing SMS. Implied consent doesn't count.\\n2. **Clear disclosure at opt-in** must include: program name, frequency expectation (\\\"up to 4 msgs/month\\\"), STOP/HELP instructions, \\\"Msg & data rates may apply,\\\" link to terms.\\n3. **Honor STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE within seconds**, every time, no exceptions, on every keyword variant (STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT).\\n4. **Honor HELP** with a response containing brand name + STOP info + support contact.\\n5. **Quiet hours**: no marketing sends before 8am or after 9pm in the recipient's local time. Carrier rules and state laws (e.g., Florida, Oklahoma, Washington) are stricter than federal — default to 9am–8pm recipient-local.\\n6. **Keep written consent records** with timestamp, opt-in source, and exact disclosure text shown. Auditable.\\n\\n### US — A2P 10DLC Registration (required since 2022)\\n\\nApplication-to-Person 10-digit long codes must be registered through The Campaign Registry (TCR) via your SMS platform. Without registration:\\n- Throughput is throttled (or zero)\\n- Carriers filter your messages\\n- You'll see \\\"delivered\\\" status but recipients won't get them\\n\\n**Registration covers**: brand identity verification, campaign use case (marketing, account notification, OTP, etc.), sample messages, opt-in mechanism, opt-out language. Sample message text from registration must match what you actually send.\\n\\n### EU/UK — GDPR-derived consent\\n\\n- Explicit opt-in required (no pre-checked boxes)\\n- Right to withdraw consent must be as easy as giving it\\n- Data subject access requests apply to SMS records\\n- ePrivacy Directive layered on top of GDPR\\n\\n### Canada — CASL\\n\\n- Express consent + sender identification + unsubscribe in every message\\n- Implied consent allowed for existing business relationships within 24 months\\n- Penalties up to CAD $10M per violation\\n\\n**For full compliance details, edge cases, opt-in copy templates, and STOP/HELP response templates**: see [references/compliance.md](references/compliance.md).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Phone Number Types (US)\\n\\n| Type | Throughput | Cost | Use Case | Trust |\\n|------|-----------|------|----------|-------|\\n| **Short code (5-6 digit)** | 100+ msg/sec | $500–$1,000/mo + setup | High-volume marketing | Highest (carrier-vetted) |\\n| **Toll-free (1-8XX)** | ~3 msg/sec | $10–$30/mo | Mid-volume, B2C support | Medium-high (carrier-verified) |\\n| **10DLC (regular long code)** | 1–250 msg/sec | $2–$10/mo | SMB, conversational, transactional | Medium (requires A2P 10DLC reg) |\\n\\n**Rule of thumb**: list <10K = 10DLC. List 10K–100K = toll-free. List 100K+ = short code.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Core Principles\\n\\n### 1. Every send has a real cost\\nSMS isn't free. At $0.0075–$0.04 per send + carrier fees, a 100K send costs $750–$4,000. This forces relevance — you can't \\\"blast.\\\" Segment hard.\\n\\n### 2. Opt-in is your most valuable asset\\nOpt-in rate from email → SMS is typically 5–25%. A high-quality SMS list of 10K beats a low-quality list of 100K. Optimize opt-in quality, not volume.\\n\\n### 3. Each message must justify itself\\nThe recipient gave you their phone number. Every send should pass: \\\"would I be glad I got this text?\\\" If no, don't send.\\n\\n### 4. Brevity + clarity\\n160 GSM-7 characters = 1 SMS segment. 161+ chars = 2 segments (you're billed for 2). Emojis force UCS-2 encoding (70 chars per segment). Plan for segment count.\\n\\n### 5. One CTA, one link\\nShort links are mandatory (`klvy.co`, `txt.attn.tv`, branded short domain). Track UTM params on every link.\\n\\n### 6. Sender identity, every send\\n\\\"From [Brand]:\\\" or branded short code at the start of every message. Even on automated flows. Recipients can't see \\\"from\\\" address — they need it inline.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## SMS Sequence Types\\n\\n### Welcome / Opt-In Confirmation (immediate)\\n\\nSend 1: Confirmation + reward (immediate)\\n> From Acme: Thanks for joining! Here's 10% off: ACME10. Use at checkout: acme.co/sale. Reply STOP to opt out.\\n\\nOptional Send 2 (24h later): Reminder + best-seller showcase\\n\\n### Abandoned Cart (highest-ROI flow for ecom)\\n\\n- Send 1 (30 min after abandon): \\\"Forget something? Your cart's still here: [short link]\\\"\\n- Send 2 (4 hours later): Soft urgency + social proof\\n- Send 3 (24 hours later, optional): Discount offer (only if margin allows)\\n\\n**Note**: Discount on first message trains customers to abandon. Reserve discount for Send 2 or 3.\\n\\n### Browse Abandonment\\n\\n- Send 1 (1 hour after browse): Product + \\\"Thinking it over?\\\" + link\\n\\n### Post-Purchase\\n\\n- Send 1 (immediate): Order confirmation + delivery ETA (transactional, separate consent OK)\\n- Send 2 (after delivery + 2 days): \\\"How are you liking [product]?\\\" + review prompt + cross-sell\\n\\n### Win-Back (lapsed)\\n\\n- Send 1 (60–90 days after last purchase): \\\"We miss you\\\" + curated picks\\n- Send 2 (14 days later): Discount offer\\n- Send 3 (final, 14 days later): Opt-out warning + last chance\\n\\n### Promotional / Campaign Sends\\n\\n- Flash sales, drops, launches, BFCM\\n- 1–2 sends max per campaign\\n- Stack against email send schedule to avoid same-day double-tap\\n\\n### Transactional (separate compliance bucket)\\n\\n- Order updates, shipping, delivery, auth codes, account alerts\\n- Generally OK without separate marketing consent if directly related to a transaction the user initiated\\n- Still subject to A2P 10DLC registration in US\\n\\n**For full sequence templates with copy and timing**: see [references/sequence-templates.md](references/sequence-templates.md).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## SMS Copy Guidelines\\n\\n### Structure\\n1. **Sender ID** (\\\"From Acme:\\\" or brand short code) — required\\n2. **Hook** — first 5 words decide if they read on\\n3. **Value** — what's in it for them, specifically\\n4. **CTA + short link** — single action, single URL\\n5. **Compliance footer** — \\\"Reply STOP to opt out\\\" (required on opt-in confirmation and at least quarterly thereafter; carrier-recommended on every promotional message)\\n\\n### Length\\n\\n- **160 chars (GSM-7)** = 1 segment. Aim here.\\n- **70 chars (UCS-2)** if you use emojis, accented characters, or curly quotes — you'll pay for more segments.\\n- **161–306 chars** = 2 segments (concatenated SMS). Acceptable for richer messages, but you're paying double per send.\\n- **MMS** (image + up to 1,600 chars) = 3–5× the SMS cost. Use sparingly for high-impact moments.\\n\\n### Voice\\n\\n- Conversational, not corporate. SMS feels personal — write like you're texting a friend.\\n- No subject line, no formatting, no marketing-speak.\\n- Emojis are fine in moderation (one per message, situationally).\\n- ALL CAPS reads as shouting. Avoid except for explicit codes (e.g., \\\"Use ACME10\\\").\\n\\n### Personalization\\n\\n- First name token if available (boosts CTR ~20%)\\n- Recent product/category browse-based\\n- Location-based offers (where applicable)\\n- Don't fake intimacy (\\\"Hey friend!\\\") — it backfires\\n\\n**For complete copy patterns by sequence type with character counts**: see [references/sequence-templates.md](references/sequence-templates.md).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Platform Selection\\n\\n| Platform | Best For | Native MCP | Cost Tier |\\n|----------|----------|:---:|-----------|\\n| **Klaviyo SMS** | DTC ecom already on Klaviyo email | ✓ | $$ |\\n| **Postscript** | DTC Shopify ecom, deep integration | - | $$ |\\n| **Attentive** | Mid-market+ ecom, full-service | - | $$$ |\\n| **Twilio** | Custom builds, transactional, devs | - | $ (raw API) |\\n| **Brevo SMS** | EU-focused, email + SMS combo | ✓ | $ |\\n| **SimpleTexting** | SMB, simple needs, ease of use | - | $ |\\n| **Customer.io** | Behavior-based automation + SMS | - | $$ |\\n\\n**Quick picks**:\\n- Already on Klaviyo for email + DTC/ecom → **Klaviyo SMS** (no second platform to learn)\\n- Shopify ecom, want deeper SMS-specific features → **Postscript**\\n- Building custom SMS into a product → **Twilio**\\n- B2B SaaS doing transactional/auth → **Twilio** or **Customer.io**\\n\\n**For platform deep-dives (features, pricing, integration paths, A2P registration)**: see [references/platforms.md](references/platforms.md).\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Measurement\\n\\n### Key Metrics\\n\\n| Metric | What it tells you | Healthy range (ecom DTC) |\\n|--------|-------------------|--------------------------|\\n| **Opt-in rate** | Top of funnel health | 5–25% of email subscribers |\\n| **CTR** | Message relevance | 8–15% (vs ~3% email) |\\n| **Conversion rate (per send)** | Revenue impact | 1–5% per promotional send |\\n| **Revenue per send (RPS)** | Channel economics | $0.20–$2.00 |\\n| **Opt-out rate per send** | Audience fatigue | <2% per send, <0.5% for promotional |\\n| **Cost per send** | Channel cost discipline | $0.0075–$0.04 |\\n| **List growth rate** | Audience momentum | 5–15%/month early, 1–3% steady-state |\\n\\n### What to track in analytics\\n\\n- UTM tag every link: `utm_source=sms&utm_medium=sms&utm_campaign=[campaign-name]`\\n- Conversion attribution: SMS-driven sessions, last-click revenue, assisted conversions\\n- LTV impact: SMS subscribers vs email-only subscribers (typically 1.5–3× LTV for SMS opt-ins)\\n\\n### What to A/B test\\n\\n- Send time (afternoon vs evening, local time)\\n- Copy length (short SMS vs MMS with image)\\n- Discount amount and trigger (immediate vs delayed)\\n- Personalization tokens (with first name vs without)\\n- CTA copy (\\\"Shop now\\\" vs \\\"See it\\\" vs \\\"Last chance\\\")\\n\\nCross-reference **ab-testing** skill for proper test design and **analytics** for attribution setup.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\nWhen the user asks for an SMS plan, return:\\n\\n1. **Compliance check**: Are they registered for A2P 10DLC (if US)? Is the opt-in mechanism compliant? Flag blockers first.\\n2. **Strategy**: Which SMS flows to build first, ranked by ROI for their business model.\\n3. **Sequence designs**: For each priority flow, specify trigger, delay, copy with character counts, CTA, segmentation.\\n4. **Platform recommendation**: Based on stack, list size, and complexity.\\n5. **Measurement plan**: KPIs, benchmarks, A/B test queue.\\n6. **Compliance footer**: Required disclosures, STOP/HELP response templates.\\n\\nKeep recommendations specific. Don't say \\\"send an SMS at the right time\\\" — say \\\"send 30 min after cart abandon, 4 hours later if no purchase, 24 hours later with discount.\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Task-Specific Questions\\n\\n1. Are you US, EU, or both? (Changes compliance approach entirely.)\\n2. Is A2P 10DLC registration complete (US)?\\n3. What platform are you on or considering?\\n4. Email list size and SMS opt-in rate (if any)?\\n5. What sequences do you already have running?\\n6. Are you DTC ecom, mobile app, B2B SaaS, services?\\n7. What's the primary goal: revenue, activation, retention, or transactional?\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Common Mistakes\\n\\n1. **Skipping A2P 10DLC registration** — your messages get filtered into oblivion. Register first, send second.\\n2. **Treating SMS like email** — sending daily promotional blasts. Opt-out rates spike, list dies.\\n3. **Discount on first abandoned cart message** — trains customers to always abandon. Reserve for second or third send.\\n4. **Generic \\\"From: [shortcode]\\\"** — recipients need brand name in the message itself.\\n5. **Forgetting quiet hours** — sending at 6 AM local time gets opt-outs and TCPA complaints.\\n6. **No STOP/HELP handling** — non-negotiable.

Best for repeatable, templated, or data-driven video at scale.\\n\\n### Hyperframes (HTML/CSS — recommended for agents)\\n\\nOpen-source, Apache 2.0, from HeyGen. Uses plain HTML/CSS/JS — no framework DSL to learn. LLM-native: AI models generate better HTML than React components.\\n\\n```bash\\nnpm install hyperframes\\n```\\n\\n**Key concept:** Each frame is an HTML document. Compose frames into a timeline, render to MP4.\\n\\n```typescript\\nimport { render } from \\\"hyperframes\\\";\\n\\nawait render({\\n frames: [\\n { html: \\\"

Welcome to Acme

\\\", duration: 3 },\\n { html: \\\"

\\\", duration: 2 },\\n ],\\n output: \\\"intro.mp4\\\",\\n width: 1080,\\n height: 1920, // 9:16 for vertical\\n});\\n```\\n\\n**Best for:** Product announcements, changelogs, data-driven reports, personalized outreach videos.\\n\\n**Why agents prefer it:** Plain HTML/CSS means any coding agent can generate frames without learning a framework. Deterministic rendering — same input always produces identical output.\\n\\n### Remotion (React)\\n\\nMature open-source framework. More powerful than Hyperframes but requires React knowledge.\\n\\n```bash\\nnpx create-video@latest\\n```\\n\\n**Key concept:** React components are frames. Props drive content. Render locally or via Remotion Lambda (AWS) for scale.\\n\\n```tsx\\nexport const ProductDemo: React.FC<{ title: string; features: string[] }> = ({\\n title, features\\n}) => {\\n const frame = useCurrentFrame();\\n return (\\n \\n

{title}

\\n {features.map((f, i) => (\\n \\n

{f}

Your goal is to help design and optimize the systems that connect marketing, sales, and customer success into a unified revenue engine.\\n\\n## Before Starting\\n\\n**Check for product marketing context first:**\\nIf `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.\\n\\nGather this context (ask if not provided):\\n\\n1. **GTM motion** — Product-led (PLG), sales-led, or hybrid?\\n2. **ACV range** — What's the average contract value?\\n3. **Sales cycle length** — Days from first touch to closed-won?\\n4. **Current stack** — CRM, marketing automation, scheduling, enrichment tools?\\n5. **Current state** — How are leads managed today? What's working and what's not?\\n6. **Goals** — Increase conversion? Reduce speed-to-lead? Fix handoff leaks? Build from scratch?\\n\\nWork with whatever the user gives you. If they have a clear problem area, start there. Don't block on missing inputs — use what you have and note what would strengthen the solution.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Core Principles\\n\\n### Single Source of Truth\\nOne system of record for every lead and account. If data lives in multiple places, it will conflict. Pick a CRM as the canonical source and sync everything to it.\\n\\n### Define Before Automate\\nGet stage definitions, scoring criteria, and routing rules right on paper before building workflows. Automating a broken process just creates broken results faster.\\n\\n### Measure Every Handoff\\nEvery handoff between teams is a potential leak. Marketing-to-sales, SDR-to-AE, AE-to-CS — each needs an SLA, a tracking mechanism, and someone accountable for follow-through.\\n\\n### Revenue Team Alignment\\nMarketing, sales, and customer success must agree on definitions. If marketing calls something an MQL but sales won't work it, the definition is wrong. Alignment meetings aren't optional.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Lead Lifecycle Framework\\n\\n### Stage Definitions\\n\\n| Stage | Entry Criteria | Exit Criteria | Owner |\\n|-------|---------------|---------------|-------|\\n| **Subscriber** | Opts in to content (blog, newsletter) | Provides company info or shows engagement | Marketing |\\n| **Lead** | Identified contact with basic info | Meets minimum fit criteria | Marketing |\\n| **MQL** | Passes fit + engagement threshold | Sales accepts or rejects within SLA | Marketing |\\n| **SQL** | Sales accepts and qualifies via conversation | Opportunity created or recycled | Sales (SDR/AE) |\\n| **Opportunity** | Budget, authority, need, timeline confirmed | Closed-won or closed-lost | Sales (AE) |\\n| **Customer** | Closed-won deal | Expands, renews, or churns | CS / Account Mgmt |\\n| **Evangelist** | High NPS, referral activity, case study | Ongoing program participation | CS / Marketing |\\n\\n### MQL Definition\\n\\nAn MQL requires both **fit** and **engagement**:\\n\\n- **Fit score** — Does this person match your ICP? (company size, industry, role, tech stack)\\n- **Engagement score** — Have they shown buying intent? (pricing page, demo request, multiple visits)\\n\\nNeither alone is sufficient. A perfect-fit company that never engages isn't an MQL. A student downloading every ebook isn't an MQL.\\n\\n### MQL-to-SQL Handoff SLA\\n\\nDefine response times and document them:\\n- MQL alert sent to assigned rep\\n- Rep contacts within **4 hours** (business hours)\\n- Rep qualifies or rejects within **48 hours**\\n- Rejected MQLs go to recycling nurture with reason code\\n\\n**For complete lifecycle stage templates and SLA examples**: See [references/lifecycle-definitions.md](references/lifecycle-definitions.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Lead Scoring\\n\\n### Scoring Dimensions\\n\\n**Explicit scoring (fit)** — Who they are:\\n- Company size, industry, revenue\\n- Job title, seniority, department\\n- Tech stack, geography\\n\\n**Implicit scoring (engagement)** — What they do:\\n- Page visits (especially pricing, demo, case studies)\\n- Content downloads, webinar attendance\\n- Email engagement (opens, clicks)\\n- Product usage (for PLG)\\n\\n**Negative scoring** — Disqualifying signals:\\n- Competitor email domains\\n- Student/personal email\\n- Unsubscribes, spam complaints\\n- Job title mismatches (intern, student)\\n\\n### Building a Scoring Model\\n\\n1. Define your ICP attributes and weight them\\n2. Identify high-intent behavioral signals from closed-won data\\n3. Set point values for each attribute and behavior\\n4. Set MQL threshold (typically 50-80 points on a 100-point scale)\\n5. Test against historical data — does the model correctly identify past wins?\\n6. Launch, measure, and recalibrate quarterly\\n\\n### Common Scoring Mistakes\\n\\n- Weighting content downloads too heavily (research ≠ buying intent)\\n- Not including negative scoring (lets bad leads through)\\n- Setting and forgetting (buyer behavior changes; recalibrate quarterly)\\n- Scoring all page visits equally (pricing page ≠ blog post)\\n\\n**For detailed scoring templates and example models**: See [references/scoring-models.md](references/scoring-models.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Lead Routing\\n\\n### Routing Methods\\n\\n| Method | How It Works | Best For |\\n|--------|-------------|----------|\\n| **Round-robin** | Distribute evenly across reps | Equal territories, similar deal sizes |\\n| **Territory-based** | Assign by geography, vertical, or segment | Regional teams, industry specialists |\\n| **Account-based** | Named accounts go to named reps | ABM motions, strategic accounts |\\n| **Skill-based** | Route by deal complexity, product line, or language | Diverse product lines, global teams |\\n\\n### Routing Rules Essentials\\n\\n- Route to the **most specific match** first, then fall back to general\\n- Include a **fallback owner** — unassigned leads go cold fast and waste pipeline\\n- Round-robin should account for **rep capacity and availability** (PTO, quota attainment)\\n- Log every routing decision for audit and optimization\\n\\n### Speed-to-Lead\\n\\nResponse time is the single biggest factor in lead conversion:\\n- Contact within **5 minutes** = 21x more likely to qualify (Lead Connect)\\n- After **30 minutes**, conversion drops by 10x\\n- After **24 hours**, the lead is effectively cold\\n\\nBuild routing rules that prioritize speed.

Use their language, not marketing's. If reps rewrite your deck before sending it, you wrote the wrong deck. Test drafts with your top performers first.\\n\\n### Situation-Specific, Not Generic\\nTailor to persona, deal stage, and use case. A deck for a CTO should look different from one for a VP of Sales. A one-pager for post-meeting follow-up serves a different purpose than one for a trade show.\\n\\n### Scannable Over Comprehensive\\nReps need information in 3 seconds, not 30. Use bold headers, short bullets, and visual hierarchy. If a rep can't find the answer mid-call, the doc has failed.\\n\\n### Tie Back to Business Outcomes\\nEvery claim connects to revenue, efficiency, or risk reduction. Features mean nothing without the \\\"so what.\\\" Replace \\\"AI-powered analytics\\\" with \\\"cut reporting time by 80%.\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Sales Deck / Pitch Deck\\n\\n### 10-12 Slide Framework\\n\\n1. **Current World Problem** — The pain your buyer lives with today\\n2. **Cost of the Problem** — What inaction costs (time, money, risk)\\n3. **The Shift Happening** — Market or technology change creating urgency\\n4. **Your Approach** — How you solve it differently\\n5. **Product Walkthrough** — 3-4 key workflows, not a feature tour\\n6. **Proof Points** — Metrics, logos, analyst recognition\\n7. **Case Study** — One customer story told well\\n8. **Implementation / Timeline** — How they get from here to live\\n9. **ROI / Value** — Expected return and payback period\\n10. **Pricing Overview** — Transparent, tiered if applicable\\n11. **Next Steps / CTA** — Clear action with timeline\\n\\n### Deck Principles\\n\\n- **Story arc, not feature tour.** Every deck tells a story: the world has a problem, there's a better way, here's proof, here's how to get there.\\n- **One idea per slide.** If you need two points, use two slides.\\n- **Design for presenting, not reading.** Slides support the conversation — they don't replace it.

Good for executive presentations.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Demo Scripts & Talk Tracks\\n\\n### Script Structure\\n\\n1. **Opening** (2 min) — Context setting, agenda, confirm goals for the call\\n2. **Discovery recap** (3 min) — Summarize what you learned, confirm priorities\\n3. **Solution walkthrough** (15-20 min) — 3-4 key workflows mapped to their pain\\n4. **Interaction points** — Questions to ask during the demo, not just at the end\\n5. **Close** (5 min) — Summarize value, propose next steps with timeline\\n\\n### Talk Track Types\\n\\n| Type | Duration | Focus |\\n|------|----------|-------|\\n| Discovery call | 30 min | Qualify, understand pain, map buying process |\\n| First demo | 30-45 min | Show 3-4 workflows tied to their pain |\\n| Technical deep-dive | 45-60 min | Architecture, security, integrations, API |\\n| Executive overview | 20-30 min | Business outcomes, ROI, strategic alignment |\\n\\n### Key Principles\\n\\n- **Demo after discovery, not before.** If you don't know their pain, you're guessing which features matter.\\n- **Customize to their use case.** Use their terminology, their data (if possible), their workflow.\\n- **Leave time for questions.** A demo where the prospect doesn't talk is a demo that doesn't close.\\n\\n**For full script templates**: See [references/demo-scripts.md](references/demo-scripts.md)\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Case Study Briefs (Sales Format)\\n\\n### How Sales Case Studies Differ\\n\\nMarketing case studies tell a story. Sales case studies arm reps with fast-access proof. Keep them short, outcome-focused, and tagged for retrieval.\\n\\n### Structure\\n\\n1. **Customer profile** — Industry, company size, buyer role\\n2. **Challenge** — What they were struggling with (2-3 sentences)\\n3. **Solution** — What they implemented (1-2 sentences)\\n4. **Results** — 3 specific metrics (before/after)\\n5. **Pull quote** — One sentence from the customer\\n6. **Tags** — Industry, use case, company size, persona\\n\\n### Organization\\n\\nOrganize case studies so reps can find the right one instantly:\\n- **By industry** — \\\"Show me a case study for healthcare\\\"\\n- **By use case** — \\\"Show me someone who used us for X\\\"\\n- **By company size** — \\\"Show me an enterprise example\\\"\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Proposal Templates\\n\\n### Structure\\n\\n1. **Executive summary** — Their challenge, your solution, expected outcome (1 page max)\\n2. **Proposed solution** — What you'll deliver, mapped to their requirements\\n3. **Implementation plan** — Timeline, milestones, responsibilities\\n4. **Investment** — Pricing, payment terms, what's included\\n5. **Next steps** — How to move forward, decision timeline\\n\\n### Customization Guidance\\n\\n- Mirror their language from discovery calls\\n- Reference specific pain points they mentioned\\n- Include only relevant case studies (same industry or use case)\\n- Name the stakeholders you've spoken with\\n\\n### Common Mistakes\\n\\n- **Too long** — If it's over 10 pages, it won't get read. Aim for 5-7.\\n- **Too generic** — Templated proposals signal low effort. Customize the exec summary at minimum.\\n- **Burying the price** — Don't make them hunt for it. Be transparent and confident.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Sales Playbooks\\n\\n### What Goes in a Playbook\\n\\n- **Buyer profile** — Who you're selling to, their goals and pains\\n- **Qualification criteria** — BANT, MEDDIC, or your framework\\n- **Discovery questions** — Organized by topic, not a script\\n- **Objection handling** — Top 10 objections with responses\\n- **Competitive positioning** — How you win against each competitor\\n- **Demo flow** — Recommended sequence for each persona\\n- **Email templates** — Follow-up, proposal, check-in, breakup\\n\\n### When to Build\\n\\n- **New product launch** — Reps need a single source of truth\\n- **New market segment** — Different buyers need different approaches\\n- **New hire ramp** — Playbooks cut ramp time significantly\\n\\n### Keeping It Living\\n\\nPlaybooks die when they're not updated. Review quarterly, get input from top reps, and remove anything outdated. Assign an owner — if nobody owns it, it rots.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Buyer Persona Cards\\n\\n### Card Structure\\n\\n| Field | Description |\\n|-------|-------------|\\n| Role / title | Common titles and reporting structure |\\n| Goals | What success looks like for them |\\n| Pains | What frustrates them daily |\\n| Top objections | The 3-5 objections you'll hear from this role |\\n| Evaluation criteria | How they judge solutions |\\n| Buying process | Their role in the decision, who they influence |\\n| Messaging angle | The one sentence that resonates most |\\n\\n### Persona Types\\n\\n- **Economic buyer** — Signs the check. Cares about ROI and risk.\\n- **Technical buyer** — Evaluates the product. Cares about capabilities and integration.\\n- **End user** — Uses it daily. Cares about ease and workflow fit.\\n- **Champion** — Advocates internally. Needs ammunition to sell for you.\\n- **Blocker** — Opposes the purchase. Understand their concern to neutralize it.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Output Format\\n\\nDeliver the right format for each asset type:\\n\\n| Asset | Deliverable |\\n|-------|-------------|\\n| Sales deck | Slide-by-slide outline with headline, body copy, and speaker notes |\\n| One-pager | Full copy with layout guidance (visual hierarchy, sections) |\\n| Objection doc | Table format: objection, response, proof point, follow-up |\\n| Demo script | Scene-by-scene with timing, talk track, and interaction points |\\n| ROI calculator | Input fields, formulas, output display with sample data |\\n| Playbook | Structured document with table of contents and sections |\\n| Persona card | One-page card format per persona |\\n| Proposal | Section-by-section copy with customization notes |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Task-Specific Questions\\n\\nIf context is missing, ask:\\n\\n1. What collateral do you need? (deck, one-pager, objection doc, etc.)\\n2. Who will use it? (AE, SDR, champion, prospect)\\n3. What sales stage is it for? (prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation, close)\\n4. Who is the target persona? (title, seniority, department)\\n5. What are the top 3 objections you hear most?\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Tool Integrations\\n\\nFor partner sales enablement, see the [tools registry](../../tools/REGISTRY.md):\\n\\n| Tool | What It Does | Guide |\\n|------|-------------|-------|\\n| **Introw** | Partner engagement tracking, deal registration, mutual action plans | [introw.md](../../tools/integrations/introw.md) |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Related Skills\\n\\n- **competitors**: For public-facing comparison and alternative pages\\n- **copywriting**: For marketing website copy\\n- **cold-email**: For outbound prospecting emails\\n- **revops**: For lead lifecycle, scoring, routing, and pipeline management\\n- **pricing**: For pricing decisions and packaging\\n- **product-marketing**: For foundational positioning and messaging\"},\n {\"name\":\"schema\",\"category\":\"SEO\",\"description\":\"When the user wants to add, fix, or optimize schema markup and structured data on their site.
