| description | Stress-test and strengthen a business plan through iterative rounds of adversarial investor critique and strategic re-engineering. Use when you need to identify existential risks in a business model and transform vulnerabilities into defensible moats. Do NOT use for creative writing, general notes, or non-business strategies. |
Bulletproof Business Plan
Quick start
"Run the bulletproof process for the business plan at [path/to/plan.md]."
Workflows
1. Initialization & Scoping
- Target Plan: Locate the business plan file.
- Rounds: Ask the user: "How many rounds of hardening should I execute? I recommend 3-5 rounds for a balanced value between token usage and having a great plan."
- Setup: Create a directory named
hardening_[plan-basename]/ in the same folder as the plan.
- Archive: Save the original plan as
rounds/r0_original.md.
- Summary: Create
summary.md to track the strategic evolution and pivots.
2. The Hardening Loop (For Round N = 1 to Total)
Step A: Investor Review
- Persona: World-class investor.
- Task: Conduct the Round [N] review of the business plan. Identify all possible objections for investing in the business.
- Metric of Importance: To avoid nitpicking, assign a metric to each objection indicating how important it is for an investor that this objection is resolved (e.g., "Probability of Rejection if Unresolved: 90%"). This ensures the plan owner understands the gravity of each risk.
- Constraint: Every objection must be sustained and backed by logic or hard data from the web (use
search_web).
- Output: Save all objections to
rounds/r[N]_investor_review.md.
Step B: Plan Hardening
- Persona: Strategic Founder / Consultant.
- Task: Improve the business plan by addressing the objections from the latest round one by one.
- Severity-Informed Thinking: Read carefully the severity/metric of each objection. Think hard on how to improve the plan so that the objection disappears (if critical) or is significantly reduced (if medium), transforming that vulnerability into a strong point of the plan.
- Output: Save the improved version to
rounds/r[N]_hardened_plan.md.
Step C: Update Summary
- Task: Extract key pivots and status updates and log them in
summary.md.
3. Finalization
- Present the final
hardened_plan.md and the summary.md to the user.
