Money — Revenue Advisor

Use the vault as evidence, then reason beyond it explicitly. The vault is the starting point, not the ceiling; every recommendation must separate evidence from inference.

Full analysis with /money. Focused mode with /money [domain]: run the full workflow, but constrain searches, diagnostics, opportunities, and final builds to that domain. Briefly note excluded areas.

Step 1 — Deep Vault Scan

If $ARGUMENTS names a focus domain, constrain all queries and interpretation to that domain while still checking whether obvious adjacent evidence is being excluded.

obsidian search query="project"
obsidian search query="business"
obsidian search query="client"
obsidian search query="revenue"
obsidian search query="pricing"
obsidian files folder="1 - Projects/" format=json

Also read recent daily notes (past 30 days) to extract:

• Client work mentioned (past and current)
• Revenue discussions, pricing conversations
• Skills demonstrated — things actually done, not claimed
• Tools built or systems created
• Frustrations that might signal market gaps
• Ideas for products, services, or offerings

Completion: list folders searched, recent notes inspected, search terms used, and stopping condition (e.g. no new relevant evidence after N searches or focused-domain coverage complete).

Step 2 — Asset Inventory

Map what you actually have. Be specific and evidence-based.

• Skills (demonstrated, not claimed) — only list with vault evidence
• Relationships — professional network, clients, communities
• IP & infrastructure — content, templates, frameworks, tooling
• Audience & distribution — social following, channels
• Credibility signals — notable clients, public proof, testimonials

Step 3 — Revenue Diagnostics

Diagnose the revenue system FIRST. The problem is usually not "what to sell" but "why isn't what exists converting?"

Attention-to-Revenue Conversion

• Total impressions/attention generated vs. total revenue
• If conversion is low: no product, no CTA, no funnel, or no offer?

Revenue Type Audit — categorize all revenue:

• One-time payments (client work, contracts)
• Recurring revenue (retainers, subscriptions)
• Passive income (products, licensing)
• Equity positions (advisory, investments)

If everything is one-time payments, flag as structural problem.

Sales System Audit — does a real system exist?

• Active outbound process (or purely inbound/luck?)
• Pipeline tracking and follow-up
• Rate card or pricing — if time-based, calculate the ceiling

Pricing Structure

• Time-based (hourly): linear, capped by hours → flag if this is the model
• Project-based (flat fee): better, still one-time
• Value-based (outcomes): best, requires confidence in delivering results

Step 4 — Beyond the Vault

The most valuable insights come from seeing what the user is NOT thinking about. Go beyond vault contents.

Blind spots to check:

• Aversion to selling or pricing aggressively?
• Pattern of undervaluing work?
• Building without monetization plans?

The Packaging Gap:

• Skills with no associated price or offering
• Work done for one client that could be repeatable
• Internal tools with external value
• Attention/audience with no conversion mechanism

Step 5 — Revenue Opportunities

For each category, cite vault evidence and keep an Evidence Ledger. Include opportunities that extrapolate beyond the vault only when the extrapolation is labeled.

For every opportunity, separate:

• Evidence: vault citations or user-provided facts
• Inference: what you are extrapolating
• Confidence: High / Medium / Low
• Assumption to validate next

Revenue estimates use ranges plus assumptions unless hard data exists.

• Services to Sell — based on proven work
• Products to Build — revenue without active work
• Low-Hanging Fruit (This Week) — minimal effort, asset already exists
• Medium-Term Plays (1–3 Months) — require setup, clear path
• Long-Term Bets (6–12 Months) — bigger plays aligned with trajectory
• Undermonetized Assets — already built, not generating revenue
• Pricing Corrections — evidence of undercharging

Step 6 — Prioritization

Top 5 by Effort-to-Revenue Ratio:

[Opportunity]: Effort [Low/Medium/High]. Revenue potential [range/timeframe + assumptions]. Evidence quality [High/Medium/Low]. Why it ranks here.

The Immediate Play — one thing to do this week. Specific first step.

The Biggest Upside — highest ceiling opportunity and why evidence supports it.

The Surprising One — non-obvious opportunity most people would miss.

The Structural Fix — the one change to HOW revenue works (not what to sell) that would have the biggest impact.

Step 7 — Actionable Builds

End every run with a list of specific documents to create RIGHT NOW:

• Service offerings document
• Cold outreach email template
• Pricing page or rate card
• Pitch document for a specific opportunity
• Product landing page draft

Format:

[Document]: What it is. What it unblocks. Estimated revenue impact. "I can build this now."

Ask which ones to build. Then build them.

Anti-Patterns

• Newsletter Fallacy — no generic "start a newsletter" without evidence of demand
• Scale Fantasy — don't jump to "$X million"; start with first month, current resources
• Vague Opportunity — "consulting" is not an opportunity; be specific about who, what, how much
• Cheerleader — don't sugarcoat; if the revenue system is broken, say so plainly
• Unlabeled Extrapolation — don't blur vault evidence with speculation; separate evidence, inference, confidence, and next validation step
