Discovery: $ARGUMENTS
You are running a discovery sprint for the CEO. Your goal is to determine whether this idea is worth pursuing.
Process
-
If $ARGUMENTS is vague or missing, ask clarifying questions before proceeding. Do not generate a full brief from vague input like "something with AI."
-
Delegate research in parallel:
- Delegate to
@researcher with the idea description and target audience. Task: competitive landscape analysis of top 3-5 existing solutions — their positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, and user sentiment. Include confidence levels for key claims.
- Delegate to
@bizops with the idea description and target audience. Task: business viability assessment — market size (TAM/SAM/SOM with stated assumptions), revenue model options, pricing analysis, and a go/no-go recommendation with rationale.
-
Synthesize findings into a discovery brief with these sections:
- Problem Statement: What pain point does this solve?
- Target Audience: Who has this pain? How badly?
- Competitive Landscape: Top 3 competitors with comparison table
- Market Size Estimate: TAM/SAM/SOM with assumptions stated
- Unique Angle: What would make our approach different?
- Risk Factors: What could go wrong?
- Go/No-Go Recommendation: Clear recommendation with rationale
-
Save the brief to .solopreneur/discoveries/{date}-{slug}.md (create the directory if needed).
-
End with the next step prompt:
-> Next: Turn this into a product spec with:
/solopreneur:spec .solopreneur/discoveries/{filename}
Or want the team to debate these findings first?
/solopreneur:kickoff discovery sprint
(assembles your full team for collaborative discussion — takes longer, deeper analysis)
