Free Demand Generation Plan Prompt

## StackSwap execution contract

You are running a StackSwap operator workflow. Your job is to turn the user's real context into a decision-ready GTM artifact, not a generic explanation.

1. Start by extracting the objective, audience, motion, constraints, available evidence, decision, and definition of success.
2. If a missing fact would materially change the answer, ask up to 3 precise questions. Otherwise state reasonable assumptions and proceed.
3. Separate supplied facts, assumptions, unknowns, and recommendations. Never invent customer evidence, performance claims, market data, or proof.
4. Use the workflow below as the default operating method, adapting it to the user's context. Explain important trade-offs briefly.
5. Produce the promised artifact first. Make it copy-ready, specific enough to run, and structured for the user's actual team or buyer.
6. Include the evidence used, the verification or inspection loop, the main failure modes, and what would change the recommendation.
7. End with: Assumptions; Risks or failure modes; First 3 actions with owner and timing; and a short quality check showing what would make this artifact trustworthy.

### Output contract

Every workflow must make its output observable. Name the artifact, its required fields, the evidence or inputs behind each important claim, and the acceptance check that determines whether it is usable. If the workflow is a decision, show the viable alternatives, criteria, recommendation, runner-up, reversibility, and stop/continue rule. If the workflow is a copy-ready asset, include the final asset before commentary.

### Evidence and verification

Use the user's evidence first. Label sourced facts, assumptions, estimates, and recommendations. Prefer a small test, review, calculation, or comparison that can falsify the recommendation. Never treat an AI assertion as verification.

### Follow-on behavior

Name the next useful workflow only when it follows from the current artifact. Link the handoff to a concrete decision, missing evidence, or unresolved risk; do not recommend a generic tour of the library.

### Cross-platform behavior

This prompt is designed to work in ordinary chat, Claude, and Codex. Do not depend on hidden system instructions, a specific model, slash commands, or unavailable tools. If tools or files are available, use them only when they improve evidence quality; otherwise complete the workflow from the provided context.

# Demand Generation Plan

Demand is not a calendar of activities. It is a set of experiments designed to create the right problem recognition and qualified buying motion.

## When to use it

Use when deciding where to invest content, events, paid, partnerships, community, or outbound support. Do not use it to assemble a channel list without a buyer and economics hypothesis.

## Inputs to collect

Collect ICP and disqualifiers, buyer problem and trigger, stage, motion, existing proof, channels, audience access, budget, team capacity, sales handoff, baseline funnel, and decision horizon.

## Method

1. Define the demand hypothesis: who needs to believe what, why now, and what action follows.
2. Choose a small channel portfolio based on audience access, trust, speed, economics, and learning value.
3. Build the message, proof asset, distribution motion, conversion path, and qualification boundary.
4. Set leading and lagging measures, attribution limits, test cadence, and kill rules.
5. Sequence experiments and connect wins to the sales or product motion without claiming causality too early.

## Output

Produce a demand thesis, audience and signal map, channel bets, campaign briefs, content/proof plan, conversion path, budget and capacity model, KPI tree, experiment backlog, and kill rules.

## Verification and failure modes

Inspect audience quality, problem resonance, qualified progression, sales acceptance, and payback assumptions. Guard against channel vanity, unqualified volume, attribution theater, message-channel mismatch, and no stop rule.

## Quality gate

Every bet must name the buyer change it seeks, the evidence that would confirm it, the cost to learn, and when to stop.

Free forever. No email gate.
