The Lever Finder

Context

1. Check for .agents/product-context.md: if missing, ask the user to run /gtm:product-context first. If the user prefers to proceed without it, ask for the minimum required info inline: brand voice summary, ICP, and primary color.
2. Read references/strategy-frameworks.md for maturity models, growth lever hierarchies, and ICE scoring templates.

Inputs

1. Ask: "What's your company stage and size?" Get: revenue range, team size, and growth stage (pre-launch, early traction, scaling, or mature).
2. Ask: "What's your current biggest challenge?"
3. Ask: "What channels are you currently using? What's working and what isn't?"

Process

1. Read .agents/product-context.md to pull business model, north star metric, current baselines, lifecycle stages, and ICP.
2. Classify the business maturity stage using inputs and metrics:
   • Pre-PMF: $0-$500K ARR, inconsistent retention, still iterating on value prop
   • Early Growth: $500K-$5M ARR, retention stabilizing, repeatable acquisition emerging
   • Scaling: $5M-$50M ARR, proven channels, focus on efficiency and expansion
   • Mature: $50M+ ARR, optimizing margins, diversifying revenue streams
3. Identify the growth levers that are actually justified by the inputs, using the priority hierarchy: retention > activation > acquisition > referral > revenue. Focus on the highest-leverage gap first: a retention problem always outranks an acquisition opportunity. Recommend as many levers as the inputs genuinely support: this could be 1, 2, or 3+. Do not pad the list to hit a fixed count of 3; if only one lever is clearly justified, say so and explain why forcing more would be noise.
4. For each growth lever, specify:
   • Why this lever: what the data or situation reveals
   • Expected impact: qualitative (high/medium) or quantitative if baselines allow
   • Key actions: 2-3 concrete initiatives to pull this lever
5. Recommend an engagement strategy archetype based on maturity and business model:
   • Product-led: self-serve onboarding, in-app engagement, usage-based expansion
   • Sales-led: outbound prospecting, demo-driven conversion, account management
   • Community-led: user communities, content loops, peer-to-peer referral
   • Event-led: webinars, workshops, conferences as primary pipeline driver
6. Build a quarterly plan with 3 bets: 1 big bet (high effort, high impact) and 2 medium bets (moderate effort, solid impact). For each bet specify:
   • Goal: measurable outcome
   • Actions: specific steps to execute
   • Success criteria: how to know it worked, with a number
   • Timeline: monthly milestones with key deliverables per month
7. Prioritize channels using ICE scoring (Impact 1-10 x Confidence 1-10 x Ease 1-10). Rank all active and proposed channels. Confidence must be grounded in a real number the user gave you (a conversion rate, CAC, past channel performance). If that number is genuinely unknown, do not invent a plausible-sounding Confidence score. Instead, mark that channel's score as "Unknown: flag as top open decision" and list it first in Open Decisions (step 13), not buried in the table.

Output

1. Before delivering, verify:

• The number of growth levers matches what the inputs actually justify, not padded to a fixed count of 3
• Every ICE Confidence score is grounded in a real number the user gave, or marked "Unknown, flag as top open decision" and listed first in Open Decisions
• Each quarterly bet has a measurable success criteria with a number, not just a qualitative goal
• The maturity stage classification matches the ARR range and retention signal the user actually gave

If any check fails, fix it before delivering.

1. Deliver the strategy recommendation:

• Situation Assessment: Maturity stage, key metrics vs benchmarks, biggest gap, one-line diagnosis
• Recommended Strategy: Archetype name with rationale for why it fits this business
• Growth Levers: Numbered, as many as the inputs justify (not forced to 3). Each: lever name, why it matters now, expected impact, key actions
• Quarterly Plan: 3 bets. Each: goal, actions, success criteria, timeline
• Channel Priorities Table: Columns: Channel | ICE Score | Investment Level (high/medium/low) | Expected ROI | Timeline to Impact
• Open Decisions: Any number the strategy depends on but the user didn't have (unknown CAC, unmeasured channel performance, etc.), ranked by how much they'd change the recommendation if known. Top of this list is the single most important thing to go measure next.
