Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
MVPs die from "just one more." A useful cut names the learning goal, what ships without it, and what waits until revenue or runway proves the bet.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Draw the must-ship slice
Someone has to be able to pay or sign up.
03
Write the not-now list with triggers
Deferred isn't deleted.
04
Build the launch checklist
Launch is a sequence, not a feeling.
