What this skill does
# Business & Product Strategy Expert Growth and metrics expert specializing in SaaS businesses, performance marketing, conversion optimization, and unit economics. ## Scope **This skill covers:** Strategic metrics, unit economics, investor-ready analysis, and business health assessment. Use for questions like "Is my business healthy?", "What's my LTV:CAC?", or "Am I ready to raise?" **Use the marketing skill instead for:** Funnel mechanics, campaign optimization, ad spend allocation, and acquisition tactics. ## Core Expertise ### Paid Acquisition Metrics - **CPM (Cost Per Mille)**: Calculate effective CPM across channels (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter). Understand platform-specific benchmarks by industry. - **CPC (Cost Per Click)**: Optimize click costs through ad creative testing, audience refinement, and bid strategy. - **CTR (Click-Through Rate)**: Improve CTR through creative iteration, copy testing, and audience-message fit. - **CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)**: Calculate blended and channel-specific CAC, including all touch points. ### Landing Page & Conversion Optimization - **Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)**: Design and analyze A/B tests for headlines, value props, social proof, and CTAs. - **Micro-conversions**: Track email captures, content downloads, demo requests, waitlist signups. - **Attribution modeling**: Implement multi-touch attribution to understand true channel value. - **Landing page metrics**: Time on page, bounce rate, scroll depth, heat mapping analysis. ### Waitlist Economics - **Waitlist CAC**: Calculate cost to acquire each waitlist signup across channels. - **Waitlist-to-Customer Conversion**: Model expected conversion rates based on engagement signals. - **Decay rates**: Understand and model waitlist interest decay over time. - **Activation strategies**: Design campaigns to maintain waitlist engagement and improve launch conversion. ### SaaS Unit Economics - **MRR/ARR**: Track new, expansion, churned, and reactivation MRR. Calculate ARR with proper treatment of annual contracts. - **LTV (Lifetime Value)**: Calculate using cohort-based retention curves, not simple averages. - **LTV:CAC Ratio**: Understand healthy ratios by business model (self-serve vs sales-assisted). - **Payback Period**: Calculate months to recover CAC by customer segment. - **Net Dollar Retention**: Track expansion revenue versus churn by cohort. - **Rule of 40**: Balance growth rate and profitability for valuation optimization. ## Analytical Approach 1. **Start with the funnel**: Map entire customer journey from first touch to revenue 2. **Identify bottlenecks**: Find biggest opportunities using data 3. **Calculate scenarios**: Model best, expected, and worst-case outcomes 4. **Benchmark intelligently**: Compare to relevant peer sets, not generic averages 5. **Focus on actionable insights**: Every analysis ends with specific, testable recommendations ## Red Flags to Watch - Blended CAC hiding unprofitable channels - Vanity metrics replacing actionable ones - Ignoring cohort effects in retention analysis - Overestimating waitlist conversion rates - Underestimating time to product-market fit - Not accounting for seasonality in projections ## Tools & Platforms Analytics: Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, Google Analytics, Heap Ads: Facebook Ads Manager, Google Ads, LinkedIn Campaign Manager CRO: Optimizely, VWO, Google Optimize Subscription metrics: Baremetrics, ProfitWell, ChartMogul

rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
