| description | Design a Hormozi Grand Slam offer from Context Document + Customer Map. Applies Value Equation systematically across 12 sections. HIGH interactivity — pauses at strategy direction, stack design, plan architecture, and guarantee for user validation. Produces offer document + self-critique. Use after customer-mapping is complete.

Goal
Design a complete Grand Slam offer that maximizes perceived value using Hormozi's Value Equation. Transform the factual context and interpretive customer map into a structured 12-section offer with plans, guarantee, pricing logic, and strategic narrative.
Every strategic design choice is tagged: grounded (based on customer map) or proposed (skill's recommendation).
Inputs

- Template:
shared/templates/02-offer-design.md
- Scoring rubric:
shared/references/scoring-rubric.md
- Knowledge:
shared/knowledge/hormozi_100m_offers.md

Core Principles
-
Customer Map first. The Customer Map is your primary design input — it contains the interpreted obstacles, beliefs, Value Equation diagnosis, and transformation promise that drive every offer decision. The Context Document provides supporting detail and quotes.
-
Design choices are traceable. Every significant offer decision (stack composition, plan architecture, guarantee mechanism, pricing logic) is tagged as grounded (derived from customer map) or proposed (your strategic recommendation). This lets the user distinguish evidence-based decisions from creative suggestions.
-
User validates before commitment. Do NOT produce the full 12-section document in one pass. Pause at 4 key decision points for user input. This prevents wasted work on wrong directions and makes the user a co-designer.
-
Self-critique is mandatory. After completing the offer, produce a self-critique using the 6-criteria scoring rubric. This is a required output, not optional.
-
Conservative on guarantees. Guarantee must be objectively deliverable (stress-test passable), not aspirational. Address the core fear from the Context Document.
Procedure
Phase 1 — Absorption
- Read
deals/[NombreDeal]/00-context/context-document.md.
- Read
deals/[NombreDeal]/01-customer-map/customer-map.md.
- Read template:
shared/templates/02-offer-design.md.
- Read scoring rubric:
shared/references/scoring-rubric.md.
- Read knowledge:
shared/knowledge/hormozi_100m_offers.md (Value Equation, guarantee frameworks, pricing).
- Verify both prerequisite documents exist. If Customer Map is missing, inform user and suggest running customer-mapping first.
Phase 2 — Strategy Direction (PAUSE 1)
- Extract from Customer Map:
- Transformation Promise (selected variant)
- Value Equation Diagnosis (where value is highest/lowest)
- Big Domino and belief architecture
- Prioritized obstacles
- Formulate proposed offer strategy direction:
- Which Value Equation factors to prioritize
- Proposed offer positioning (New Opportunity vs Opportunity Switch)
- Proposed scope and boundaries
- INTERACTION GATE: Present strategy direction to user.
- "Based on the Customer Map, I propose focusing the offer on [priorities]. The positioning is [type]. Here's the reasoning: [2-3 sentences]."
- "Does this direction align with your vision? Any adjustments?"
- Wait for confirmation or redirect before continuing.
Phase 3 — Stack and Deliverables (PAUSE 2)
- Design the offer stack (3 layers: Foundation -> Intelligence -> Control):
- Map each obstacle from Customer Map to stack components
- Ensure each layer increases Likelihood or decreases Effort/Time
- Tag each component:
grounded or proposed
- Draft Problem -> Solution table (Section 4) mapping Context problems to offer solutions.
- INTERACTION GATE: Present stack design to user.
- "Here's the proposed stack with 3 layers. Each layer addresses [obstacles]."
- "Is the stack complete? Any components missing or unnecessary?"
- Wait for validation before proceeding.
Phase 4 — Plan Architecture (PAUSE 3)
- Design plan tiers:
- Plan 1 (Foundation): minimum viable infrastructure, not "basic"
- Plan 2 (Intelligence/Advanced): everything in Plan 1 + advanced capabilities
- Plan 3 (Premium, optional): if scope warrants a third tier
- For each plan: what it IS, what it DOES, what it ENABLES, what it does NOT do.
- Design upgrade path (Escalera): fair, pressure-free, natural progression.
- INTERACTION GATE: Present plan architecture to user.
- "I've structured [2-3] plans with this differentiation: [summary]."
- "Does each plan have a clear distinct role? Is the upgrade path fair?"
- Wait for approval before detailing.
Phase 5 — Guarantee Design (PAUSE 4)
- Design guarantee mechanism:
- What will be tested/validated
- How validation happens (objective criteria, not subjective "liking")
- What happens if it fails (refund, remediation, specific consequence)
- Address the core fear from Context Document
- Apply conservative bias: must be deliverable, not aspirational.
- INTERACTION GATE: Present guarantee to user.
- "Proposed guarantee: [mechanism]. Validation criteria: [list]. If it fails: [consequence]."
- "Does this address the client's core fear? Is it deliverable?"
- Wait for approval.
Phase 6 — Full Document Production
- Produce complete 12-section offer document following template:
- 00: ONE SENTENCE PITCH (transformation, not features)
- 0: NOMBRE DEL PROYECTO
- 1: AVATAR DIA 1 (from Customer Map Block 1)
- 2: OBSTACULOS PRINCIPALES (from Customer Map Block 3)
- 3: DREAM OUTCOME — Avatar Dia 90 (from Customer Map Block 2)
- 4: TABLA RESUMEN Problema -> Solucion
- 5: STACK INTELIGENTE (from Phase 3 approved design)
- 6: ARQUITECTURA DE LA OFFER (from Phase 4 approved plans)
- 7: TOOLKIT PRACTICO (optional)
- 8: ESCALERA Y UPGRADE
- 9: GARANTIA (from Phase 5 approved design)
- 10: VISION A LARGO PLAZO
- 11: FRASE DE CIERRE (Hormozi-style reframe)
- Preserve all emoji markers per TEMPLATE-RULES.md.
- Replace all placeholders with real content — none may remain.
- Save to
deals/[NombreDeal]/02-offer/offer-design.md.
Phase 7 — Self-Critique
- Read scoring rubric:
shared/references/scoring-rubric.md.
- Score the offer against 6 criteria (1-10 each):
- Dream Outcome Clarity
- Obstacle Coverage
- Stack Value
- Plan Differentiation
- Guarantee Strength
- Time/Effort Reduction
- For each criterion: score, rationale, improvement opportunity.
- Calculate overall score (sum/60 = percentage).
- Identify strengths (2-3 bullets) and critical gaps (2-3 bullets).
- Save to
deals/[NombreDeal]/scratch/offer-self-critique.md.
Phase 8 — Final Presentation
- Present self-critique summary to user:
- Overall score
- Strengths and critical gaps
- Top 2-3 improvement areas
- Ask user: "Self-critique scores [X/60]. Areas to improve: [list]. Want to refine specific sections, or accept as-is and proceed to template-formatting?"
- If user wants refinements: apply them, re-score affected criteria, update both documents.
- If user accepts: confirm offer is ready for proposal formatting.
Anti-patterns
- Producing the full 12-section document without the 4 interaction gates. The gates prevent wasted work and make the user a co-designer.
- Forcing a v1 -> v2 cycle when v1 is strong. If self-critique scores high and user is satisfied, accept it. No mandatory v2.
- Skipping the Customer Map and designing directly from Context. The Customer Map IS the interpretive foundation — without it, you're guessing at frameworks.
- Generic stack components that don't map to specific obstacles. Every component must solve something.
- Plans that are just "more features" without distinct roles. Each plan should solve a different problem or serve a different ambition level.
- Aspirational guarantees that can't be delivered. Conservative bias always.
- Omitting design choice tags (
grounded/proposed). Traceability is required.
- Skipping self-critique. It is a mandatory output, not optional.
