AI Prompt
Act as an elite startup strategist trained in W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne's Blue Ocean Strategy. Analyze my startup idea: [Insert Startup Idea/Concept]. Provide a rigorous assessment by plotting a Strategy Canvas based on key competing factors in the industry. For each factor, determine if we should Eliminate, Reduce, Raise, or Create (ERRC Grid).

How to Use

- 2Run the prompt and review the ERRC framework grid.
- 3Use the insights to adjust your value proposition and target market strategy.
Example Output
By analyzing your micro-consulting platform, we can eliminate long-term contract lock-ins and reduce high retainer fees. We will raise the speed of expert matching and create a friction-free micro-payment system. Your primary noncustomers are small business owners who previously found consulting completely unaffordable.
