Step 3 — Try these prompts
Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:
- Preparing for a board meeting or investor update and need a complete business health snapshot
- You suspect problems but can't pinpoint whether it's growth, retention, economics, or burn
- Doing a quarterly business review and want to prioritize improvement areas
- Fundraising and need to know your numbers inside-out before pitching
- A new executive is joining and needs to understand where the business stands
What this skill does
- Assesses business health across four dimensions: growth & retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position
- Identifies red flags and categorizes them by urgency (critical, high priority, medium priority)
- Applies stage-specific benchmarks so early-stage businesses aren't judged by scale-stage standards
- Delivers a comprehensive scorecard with clear, prioritized action items
- Connects metrics together to reveal systemic issues (e.g., strong growth masking poor unit economics)
