# The Solo Strategy Stack

## What it does
Seven prompts chained into a solo operator's strategy system: find what you have, pick what to build, stress-test it, design the operation, protect your time, audit quarterly.

## What you need
Any AI chat app and the 7 business skills from the library. A few honest hours.

## Setup phase (once, ~2-3 hours across a week)
1. **Hidden Asset Inventory** — surface what you actually have
2. **Asset-Based Opportunity Map** — rank what those assets support
3. **Investor Teardown** — attack the winning opportunity before committing
4. **AI-First Operations Designer** — design how it runs without drowning you
5. **Calendar Leverage Redesign** — clear the hours the plan needs

## Running rhythm
- **Quarterly:** Leverage Audit — goal vs reality, bottleneck, what you're avoiding
- **Per hard decision:** Operator Principles Framework
- **Per pivot:** rerun the Investor Teardown on the new plan

## Maintenance habits
- Keep every audit's output — comparing quarters shows patterns no single session can
- When the teardown and your gut disagree, investigate before overriding either
- The stack works only with honest inputs; garbage self-assessment in, garbage strategy out

## What we stripped
The source promised "$10M business", "10x your income in 12 months", and framing AI output as equivalent to "decades of experience in minutes". Removed all of it. These prompts produce structured thinking about YOUR situation — the quality ceiling is the honesty of what you feed them, and no prompt has ever 10x'd anyone's income by itself. Also constrained the famous-founder prompt to documented public principles only, so it borrows real frameworks instead of inventing opinions for real people.
