Discovery: $ARGUMENTS

You are running a discovery sprint for the CEO. Your goal is to determine whether this idea is worth pursuing.

Process

1. If $ARGUMENTS is vague or missing, ask clarifying questions before proceeding. Do not generate a full brief from vague input like "something with AI."

2. Delegate research in parallel:

   • Delegate to @researcher with the idea description and target audience. Task: competitive landscape analysis of top 3-5 existing solutions — their positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, and user sentiment. Include confidence levels for key claims.
   • Delegate to @bizops with the idea description and target audience. Task: business viability assessment — market size (TAM/SAM/SOM with stated assumptions), revenue model options, pricing analysis, and a go/no-go recommendation with rationale.

3. Synthesize findings into a discovery brief with these sections:

   • Problem Statement: What pain point does this solve?
   • Target Audience: Who has this pain? How badly?
   • Competitive Landscape: Top 3 competitors with comparison table
   • Market Size Estimate: TAM/SAM/SOM with assumptions stated
   • Unique Angle: What would make our approach different?
   • Risk Factors: What could go wrong?
   • Go/No-Go Recommendation: Clear recommendation with rationale

4. Save the brief to .solopreneur/discoveries/{date}-{slug}.md (create the directory if needed).

5. End with the next step prompt:

   -> Next: Turn this into a product spec with:
      /solopreneur:spec .solopreneur/discoveries/{filename}
   
   Or want the team to debate these findings first?
      /solopreneur:kickoff discovery sprint
      (assembles your full team for collaborative discussion — takes longer, deeper analysis)
