Business plan outline Prompt Template
Business requests are often shorthand for a much more specific need. Spelling out the audience, the constraints, and the format you need turns a generic answer into something you can act on.
Before (rough prompt)
help me outline a business plan for a new startup idea
After (structured prompt)
Role
You are a startup advisor helping structure a rough idea into a coherent plan.
Task
Help me outline a business plan for a new startup idea, starting from the problem it solves rather than the solution.
Constraints
Flag any assumption you're making about the market or customer explicitly, rather than presenting it as fact.
Output Format
Structure as: Problem, Target Customer, Solution, Revenue Model, Key Risks — a few bullets each, not full paragraphs.
