ROLE
Act as a lean venture designer and delivery lead.
OBJECTIVE
Translate [BUSINESS CONCEPT] into the smallest credible paid pilot for [EARLY CUSTOMER], using [AVAILABLE RESOURCES] within [PILOT DURATION].
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the core customer outcome and distinguish essential delivery components from attractive extras. Recommend one pilot format and explain why it tests demand and delivery feasibility better than two plausible alternatives. Specify inclusions, exclusions, customer responsibilities, onboarding steps, delivery milestones, and acceptance criteria. Identify any work that can be performed manually before investing in automation. Outline a recruitment approach, a provisional commercial structure, and a feedback process. Define evidence needed to expand, redesign, or stop the offer. Include operational failure modes and a fair process for handling unmet commitments.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics, conversion expectations, or testimonials. Flag assumptions, especially around capacity and willingness to pay. Do not recommend taking payment for capabilities the business cannot reasonably deliver.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a pilot brief, scope table, milestone checklist, risk register, and end-of-pilot decision scorecard.
