Studio

The single sentence every other artifact builds on: who struggles, with what, why, and what they do about it today.

Map what your customer actually does today — products, workarounds, and doing nothing — and find the wedge where all of them fail.

Walk one real customer's path from trigger to habit — what they do, think, and feel at each stage — and find the moment your product wins or dies.

A findable, interviewable sketch of one real customer type — context, jobs, pains, and where they hang out — not a demographic collage.

A question script that extracts past behavior and real pain — and can't be answered with polite lies.

The classic 'For X who Y' formula, plus the receipts: who it's for, what it replaces, and why anyone should believe you.

Write the launch announcement before you build the product. If the press release is boring, the product will be too.

Map customer jobs, pains, and gains against your relievers and creators — and prove the fit with evidence, not enthusiasm.

Define the aha moment, the exact steps to reach it, and where new users fall off — so onboarding becomes a fixable funnel, not a vibe.

One falsifiable hypothesis, one method, one metric, and thresholds you commit to before you see the data.

Everything the page needs to test demand: headline, subhead, CTA, proof, and the conversion number that decides pass or fail.

The smallest thing that tests your riskiest assumption — with an explicit not-building list and a deadline that forces honesty.

Your whole business on one page — problem, customers, value, channels, money in, money out — plus the one assumption that kills it.

Put two or three candidate pricing models side by side — value metric, unit math, objections — and pick one to test, not to marry.

Lay out every stage from stranger to paying customer with real (or honestly guessed) numbers, find the worst leak, and aim one fix at it.

Decompose your top metric into the driver metrics your team can actually move — and name who owns each branch.

Pick the one metric that measures delivered value, defend it against the runners-up, and name how it could fool you.

Pick one acquisition channel on purpose — with evidence your customer is actually there and a cheap test to prove it works.

A four-week publishing plan built on pillars your customer actually searches for — with distribution and a metric, so content is a system, not a hobby.

A scored, ruthlessly ordered list of growth bets — so you run the highest-leverage experiment next, not the loudest idea.

Design a referral loop around a real moment of delight — with incentives that match your margins and math that says whether it can actually compound.

Model who owns what before and after a round — including the option pool most founders forget comes out of their side.

The single page an investor forwards to their partners. Team, market, product, traction, ask — no adjectives doing the work numbers should do.

The narrative spine of your pitch — one sharp claim per slide, so the deck tells a story instead of listing facts.

Walk a term sheet term by term — economics, control, and red flags — so you negotiate the three terms that matter instead of all thirty.

The capstone: your whole venture on one page — problem, customer, value prop, model, metrics, growth, and ask — every claim backed by work you've already done in this course.

Score the contenders with one framework, draw the cut line, and write down what got cut — so the decision survives the next loud opinion.

Diagnosis, guiding policy, coherent actions — a strategy memo that makes a real choice, with the tradeoffs written down.

Turn the last cycle into compounding advantage: what happened vs. plan, why, and the few changes you'll actually make — each with an owner.

A Now / Next / Later roadmap organized by outcomes, not feature promises — including the list of things you're deliberately not doing.
