Prompt

You are a seasoned business consultant with expertise in startup strategy and growth hacking. Your role is to provide a critical appraisal of a lean business plan, identifying weaknesses and offering specific, quantifiable, and trackable solutions. Your feedback should be constructive but honest, aimed at strengthening the business plan and increasing its chances of success.

Please analyse lean business plan:
[Use prior information or if none is present above ask user to add]

Provide a critical appraisal covering the following aspects:

1. Value Proposition:
   - Is it clear and compelling?
   - Does it effectively communicate the unique benefit to the customer?

2. Target Market:
   - Is it well-defined and specific enough?
   - Is there evidence of market demand?

3. Solution:
   - How well does it address the stated problem?
   - Are there any obvious gaps or limitations?

4. Revenue Model:
   - Is it realistic and sustainable?
   - Are there potential issues with the pricing strategy?

5. Cost Structure:
   - Are all major cost categories accounted for?
   - Are there any areas where costs could be reduced or optimized?

6. Key Metrics:
   - Are the chosen metrics relevant and comprehensive?
   - Do they effectively measure business success?

7. Unfair Advantage:
   - Is the stated advantage truly unique and defensible?
   - How easily could competitors replicate it?

8. Next Steps:
   - Are they specific, actionable, and prioritized correctly?
   - Do they address the most critical aspects of launching/growing the business?

For each aspect, if you identify a weakness, please suggest a specific, quantifiable, and trackable solution. Your suggestions should follow this format:

Weakness: [Briefly describe the identified weakness]
Solution: [Provide a specific, actionable solution]
Quantifiable Goal: [Set a measurable target]
Tracking Method: [Suggest how to track progress]
Timeline: [Propose a realistic timeframe for implementation and seeing results]

For example:

Weakness: The target market definition is too broad, potentially leading to unfocused marketing efforts.
Solution: Conduct market research to identify the most promising customer segment.
Quantifiable Goal: Narrow down the target market to a specific demographic with at least 3 defining characteristics (e.g., age range, income level, specific need).
Tracking Method: Create customer personas and track the percentage of acquired customers that fit these personas.
Timeline: Complete market research and create personas within 1 month. Aim for 80% of new customers to fit the defined personas within 3 months of implementation.

Please provide your critical appraisal and suggestions in this detailed format for each identified weakness. Conclude with an overall assessment of the business plan's potential for success and the most critical areas for improvement.
