prioritization-advisor

Choose a prioritization framework based on stage, team context, and stakeholder needs. Use when deciding between RICE, ICE, value/effort, or another scoring approach.

Guide teams through MITRE's Problem Framing Canvas. Use when you need a clearer problem statement before jumping to solutions.

saas-economics-efficiency-metrics

Build the support FAQ, sales talking points, and objection handling teams need before an EOL announcement. Use when customer-facing teams must be ready before customers hear.

Write a right-sized EOL announcement — brief notice through full phased comms — with rationale, customer impact, and next steps. Use when retiring a product, feature, or plan.

eol-process

Run a product sunset end to end — decide, align, plan, prepare, announce, close. Use when you need the whole EOL process, not just one artifact.

eol-readiness-advisor

Run a go/no-go assessment for retiring a product or feature, then right-size the effort. Use when someone says "we should probably kill this" and nobody has made the call.

eol-stakeholder-sequence

Plan who to talk to about a sunset, in what order, and what each conversation must cover. Use when an EOL decision is made and you want the landmines found before the announcement.

ansoff-matrix

Map evidence-backed growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with risk-rated sequencing. Use when the question is where the next tranche of growth comes from, and at what risk.

The protocol behind every investigation skill. Use when AI research must proceed without you: search-plan gate, Fact/Inference/Assumption labels, confidence stacking, diffable outputs.

battle-card-builder

Research and draft a competitive battle card from public evidence — every claim labeled and sourced. Use when a rep needs a field-action card, not a research report.

competitive-intel-watch

Scheduled delta monitoring against a prior competitive snapshot. Use when tracking competitors on a cadence: material shifts only, cited evidence, battle-card update flags, runs unattended.

Research a competitive landscape with cited snapshots, a comparison matrix, and so-what implications. Use when a product decision needs competitive grounding, not a market report.

Mine public reviews, app stores, and forums for unmet needs, competitor weaknesses, and switching triggers — with quoted evidence. Use when you want customer voice without waiting on interviews.
