Prompt

Act as a product strategy consultant and copywriter who is an expert in the Value Proposition Canvas.

Context:
- Product or service: {{product}}
- Specific customer segment: {{segment}}
- What I know about this customer (interviews, reviews, support data): {{insights}}
- Alternatives they use today: {{alternatives}}
- Price or business model: {{pricing}}

Deliverables:
1. Customer profile:
   - Jobs (functional, social and emotional) they are trying to get done.
   - Pains: obstacles, risks and unwanted outcomes, ranked by severity.
   - Gains: outcomes they expect, want or would be delighted by, ranked by importance.
2. Value map:
   - Products and services we offer.
   - Pain relievers: how each element reduces a specific pain.
   - Gain creators: how each element produces a specific gain.
3. Fit table: link each top pain and gain to its reliever or creator, flagging uncovered gaps and features that solve nothing important.
4. Short comparison with {{alternatives}}: where we win, tie and lose.
5. Final value proposition: one main sentence, a subheadline and three supporting points.
6. Five headline variants for the website and ads.
7. Hypotheses to validate: the three riskiest assumptions and a simple experiment to test each.

Constraints:
- Separate what comes from my data from your own assumptions (mark them [HYPOTHESIS]).
- Do not invent numbers or customer results; use [FILL IN].
- If the segment is too broad ("small businesses", "everyone"), ask me to narrow it before you start.

Format: tables for the profile, map and fit; final copy ready to paste.

How to use it

  1. Pick a single customer segment; if you have several, run the prompt once per segment. 2. Paste real quotes from interviews or reviews into the insights field. 3. Validate the hypotheses before rewriting your whole website.

Usage example

Product: online bookkeeping for Shopify stores · Segment: US stores with 1-3 employees · Alternatives: local accountant and spreadsheets.
