Immediate Next Action

Right now:

  1. Decide on name StratArray ✅
  2. Register domain (stratarray.com)
  3. Create GitHub organization: github.com/maigent/stratarray
  4. Start writing first skill: idea-validator

Tomorrow:

  1. Test idea-validator with 3 business ideas
  2. Refine based on output quality
  3. Begin market-opportunity-analyzer

Questions to Answer

  • Which name resonates most with you? StratArray
  • Do you have 3 business ideas to test skills with?
  • Do you know 5-10 people who could beta test?
  • Preferred launch timeline (10 weeks or slower)?
  • Any specific advanced packs to prioritize after launch?

Why This Will Work

  1. You've already built the blueprint (INIMINI used these exact frameworks)
  2. Proven demand (founders pay $5K+ for business consultants)
  3. First-mover advantage (no comprehensive business strategy skills exist yet)
  4. Freemium funnel (free tier builds trust → paid tiers monetize)
  5. Scalable (markdown skills = zero marginal cost)
  6. You understand the market (you're building INIMINI, you know the founder journey)

Ready to Start?

Name is chosen: StratArray. Next: register the domain and let's build the first skill: idea-validator
