| Letter | Dimension | What to Extract |
|--------|-----------|-----------------|
| **S** | Situation | Current state — growth plateau, operational silos, tech stack, team structure |
| **P** | Pain | Core pain — revenue predictability, invisible ROI, departmental silos, manual processes |

## Key Personas
### François - SMB CEO

- Trigger: Investor pressure, competitive threat
- Cycle: 2-3 months, committee decision
### Martin - VP Sales
- Pain: Chaotic pipeline, underperforming team
- Trigger: Missed quarter, lost top performer
- Cycle: 2-4 weeks, needs CEO approval
## Qualification Signals
### Great Fit
- HubSpot active with data
- Leadership convinced on revenue architecture
- Marketing + Sales alignment
- Clear growth targets with timeline
- 2-3+ stakeholders engaged
### Poor Fit
- NOT convinced on CRM value
- NO marketing role/function

"""
VALUE_ENGINES = """# Value Engines Framework
Every business operates three distinct Value Engines, each requiring dedicated processes, roles, and metrics.
## 1. Growth Engine (Customer Acquisition)
**Purpose:** How new customers are acquired — awareness through conversion.
**Artefact Pillars:** Revenue Intelligence + Customer Intelligence
**Stages:**
1. **Create Demand** — Generate awareness in ungated channels (content, thought leadership, events, dark social)
2. **Capture Demand** — Buyer intent becomes visible (form fills, demo requests, hand-raisers)
3. **Convert** — First transaction occurs (signed engagement, initial purchase)
**Key Metrics:** CR1 (Visit → Lead), CR2 (Lead → Qualified), Win Rate, Cycle Time, Pipeline Coverage
**Demand Creation vs. Capture:**
- Demand Creation: Build future pipeline (95% of market not buying now). Channels: LinkedIn, podcasts, events.
- Demand Capture: Convert the 5% actively looking. Channels: Google Ads, G2, referrals.
- Healthy split: 40-60% Demand Creation. Below 30% = brittle, dependent on competitive channels.
## 2. Fulfillment Engine (Value Delivery)
**Purpose:** How customers receive promised value — post-sale through expansion.
**Artefact Pillars:** Execution Intelligence + Customer Intelligence
**Stages:**
1. **Onboard** — Client setup, data connections, kickoff
2. **Deliver** — Core service execution against SOW
3. **Activate** — Client achieves first meaningful outcome (time to value)
4. **Review** — QBR, performance tracking, satisfaction
5. **Renew** — Contract renewal conversation
6. **Expand** — Upsell, cross-sell, deeper implementation
**Key Metrics:** NRR, Gross Retention, Time to First Value, CSAT, Expansion Revenue %
## 3. Innovation Engine (Product/Service Improvement)
**Purpose:** How products and services improve over time.
**Artefact Pillar:** Performance Intelligence
**Stages:**
1. **Gather** — Collect insights from clients, market, team
2. **Prioritize** — Evaluate against strategic goals
3. **Build/Test** — Develop and validate
4. **Launch** — Roll out to clients and market
**Key Metrics:** Feedback Items, Features Shipped/Quarter, Adoption Rate, Innovation ROI
"""
EXIT_CRITERIA = """# Pipeline Exit Criteria Framework
A pipeline stage is not a label — it is a **contract**. Exit criteria are the tests that must pass before a deal advances.
## Exit Test Schema
Each criterion has:
- **test_name** — What must be true
- **test_category** — qualification | discovery | commercial | technical | legal
- **required_proof** — Evidence needed to pass
- **validation_method** — checkbox | select_field | evidence_url | api_check | manual_review
- **approver_role** — Who signs off
- **is_blocking** — true = deal cannot advance; false = advisory only
## Standard Transitions

"""
CONSTRAINTS = """# Revenue Scaling Constraints
Every business faces one **dominant constraint** — the single bottleneck that, if removed, would unlock the most growth.
## The 4 Constraints
### 1. Lead Generation
**Symptom:** Not enough prospects entering the pipeline.
**Diagnostic:** Pipeline below 3x coverage? Sales team idle? Channels producing fewer leads?
**Causes:** Insufficient marketing investment, wrong channels, weak brand, no referral engine.
**Focus:** Growth Engine (early stages) — Stages 1-3 of Customer Value Journey.
**Revenue Formula Lever:** Traffic (VM1) + CR1 (Visit → Lead)
### 2. Conversion
**Symptom:** Prospects enter but don't buy.
**Diagnostic:** Win rate below 20%? Deals stall at specific stages? Long sales cycles?
**Causes:** Weak discovery, poor solution-problem fit, pricing misalignment, no urgency, wrong ICP.
**Focus:** Growth Engine (late stages) — Pipeline architecture, SPICED execution.
**Revenue Formula Lever:** CR2-CR5 (Lead → Won)
### 3. Delivery
**Symptom:** Can't fulfill at scale — quality drops with growth.
**Diagnostic:** Turning away business? Satisfaction declining? Timelines slipping? Key-person dependency?
**Causes:** No standardized process, founder dependency, no playbooks, hiring can't keep up.
**Focus:** Fulfillment Engine — Standardization (70/30 rule), playbooks, hiring.
**Revenue Formula Lever:** NRR (Retention Formula)
### 4. Profitability
**Symptom:** Revenue grows but profit doesn't.
**Diagnostic:** Gross margin below 50%? Revenue requires proportional team growth? Discounting to close?
**Causes:** Underpricing, scope creep, inefficient delivery, wrong service mix, overhead growth.
**Focus:** All engines (efficiency focus) — Pricing, productization, Innovation Engine.
**Revenue Formula Lever:** ACV + NRR
## Constraint → Revenue Formula Bridge
| Constraint | Revenue Formula Lever(s) |
|---|---|
| Lead Generation | VM1 (Visitors) + CR1 |
| Conversion | CR2-CR5 |
| Delivery | NRR |
| Profitability | ACV + NRR |
## Quick Diagnostic: Hormozi's 4 Levers
Revenue = Traffic × Conversion × Price × (1/Churn)
The lever with the biggest gap to benchmark has the most upside.
"""
SIGNAL_TAXONOMY = """# Signal Taxonomy (6 Types)
Every GTM change must be backed by a signal — no change without evidence.
## The 6 Signal Types
| Signal Type | What It Detects | Recommended Actions |
|---|---|---|
| **win_loss_pattern** | Win rates, loss reasons, deal outcomes by segment/persona/channel | ICP refinement, persona update, qualification rule change |
| **conversion_drop_off** | Stage-to-stage conversion rates below benchmark or declining | Pipeline stage exit criteria update, SLA adjustment |
| **velocity_anomaly** | Time-in-stage significantly above or below benchmark | Stage SLA change, process bottleneck investigation |
| **spiced_frequency** | Recurring pain points, impacts, or critical events across deals | Messaging update, positioning refinement |
| **attribution_shift** | Channel performance changes, pipeline source trends | Channel strategy change, campaign targeting update, budget reallocation |
| **data_quality** | Missing fields, incomplete records, data gaps | HubSpot field enforcement, data hygiene campaign |
## Evidence-First Workflow
1. **Detect** — Run analysis tools to identify signals
2. **Classify** — Map finding to one of 6 signal types
3. **Propose** — Draft a GTM commit with signal_type, signal_source, signal_data
4. **Review** — Human reviews the commit proposal
5. **Deploy** — Apply the change to the GTM system
6. **Measure** — Track impact against measurement plan
## Signal Structure
Each signal returns:
- signal_type — One of the 6 types
- signal_name — Human-readable description
- signal_strength — 0.0 to 1.0 (higher = stronger evidence)
- evidence — Structured data supporting the finding
- recommended_action — What to do about it
"""
REVENUE_FORMULA = """# Revenue Formula
## Winning by Design Acquisition Formula
```
ARR = Visitors × CR1 × CR2 × CR3 × CR4 × CR5 × ACV × Frequency
```
| Stage | Metric | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| VM1 → VM2 | CR1 (Visit → Lead) | 18-20% |
| VM2 → VM3 | CR2 (Lead → Qualified) | 15-18% |
| VM3 → VM4 | CR3 (Qualified → Opp) | 80-85% |
| VM4 → VM5 | CR4 (Opp Progression) | 25-30% |
| VM5 → Won | CR5 (Win Rate) | 30-80% |
**Key Insight:** Because the formula is multiplicative, improving any single conversion rate has a cascading effect. A 10% improvement at the weakest link often yields more revenue than doubling traffic.
## Weakest Link Analysis
The conversion rate with the biggest gap to benchmark is the highest-leverage improvement point.
## Compound Improvement Model
The formula is multiplicative, not additive:
```
Current: 1,000 leads × 5% × $50K = $2.5M
Improved: 1,100 leads × 5.5% × $55K = $3.3M (+33%)
```
A 10% improvement at each of 3 points produces a 33% compound effect.
## Retention Formula (NRR Compounding)
```
LTV = Σ(t=1 to lifetime) [Base ARR × NRR^t]
```
| NRR | Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 | 5-Year LTV (per $100K) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90% | $100K | $73K | $59K | $410K |
| 100% | $100K | $100K | $100K | $500K |
| 110% | $100K | $121K | $161K | $611K |
| 120% | $100K | $144K | $249K | $744K |
At 110% NRR, a customer's value grows 61% over 5 years without new sales effort.
