Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. ## Steps ### Step 1: Diagnose the Growth Constraint Before recommending anything, identify where growth is actually stuck. Run through the growth accounting model: ``` New users this period: [N] Retained from last period: [N] (returned users) Resurrected users: [N] (churned users who came back) Churned users: [N] (active last period, gone this period) Net growth = New + Resurrected - Churned ``` Classify the primary constraint: - **Acquisition problem** — new users insufficient relative to churn - **Activation problem** — signups not converting to active users (< 25% activation) - **Retention problem** — active users leaving faster than new ones arrive - **Monetization problem** — users engaged but not converting to paid Fix in this order. Retention before acquisition. Activation before referral. ### Step 2: Map the Activation Funnel Define the "Aha moment" — earliest point where a user understands the product's core value. Everything before that moment is friction to reduce. ``` Signup ↓ [time: __ min] [drop-off: __%] First meaningful action ↓ [time: __ min] [drop-off: __%] Aha moment: [describe what the user sees/experiences] ↓ [time: __ min] [drop-off: __%] Habit trigger: [what brings them back in 7 days?] ``` For each step, identify: - What is the user trying to do? - What is the product asking them to do? - Where do they diverge? (That's the friction point.) ### Step 3: Identify the Top 3 Growth Levers Rank growth levers by: (expected impact × confidence) / effort. Pick the top 3: **Lever template:** ``` Lever: [name — e.g., "Reduce time-to-Aha from 8 min to < 3 min"] Type: [Acquisition / Activation / Retention / Referral / Monetization] Hypothesis: [If we do X, then Y will improve by Z%] Leading indicator: [what metric moves first if the hypothesis is right] Lagging indicator: [what business metric this ultimately affects] Experiment design: [what to build/change to test this, minimum viable version] Kill condition: [if metric doesn't move X% in Y days, stop] Effort: [Low / Medium / High] ``` ### Step 4: Design the Growth Loop Every sustainable growth motion is a loop, not a campaign. Identify which loop type applies: - **Viral loop** — user action directly invites or exposes new users (referral, sharing, embeds) - **Content loop** — product usage creates content that attracts new users (SEO, UGC, templates) - **Paid loop** — revenue funds acquisition, LTV > CAC closes the loop - **Community loop** — users build community that attracts more users For the strongest applicable loop, specify: ``` Loop type: [viral / content / paid / community] Trigger: [what user action starts the loop?] Viral payload: [what gets shared / seen / indexed?] Acquisition hook: [why does a new user click or sign up?] Loop multiplier: [estimate: for every N users, how many new users does this generate?] Current state: [is this loop working today? what's broken?] ``` ### Step 5: Write the Activation Playbook Produce a concrete playbook the team can execute: ``` WEEK 1 — Reduce friction to Aha: [ ] [specific change — e.g., "Remove 3 required onboarding fields"] [ ] [specific change — e.g., "Show sample data on first login instead of empty state"] WEEK 2 — Strengthen the habit loop: [ ] [specific change — e.g., "Add Day 3 email: 'Here's what changed since you signed up'"] [ ] [specific change — e.g., "In-app prompt at session end: 'Set a reminder to check back Thursday'"] WEEK 3 — Seed the growth loop: [ ] [specific change — e.g., "Add 'Share your [output]' to the post-completion screen"] [ ] [specific change — e.g., "Launch referral: give inviter 30 days free when invitee activates"] MEASURE: Primary metric: [activation rate / D7 retention / referral rate] Baseline: [current value] Target: [goal at end of 3 weeks] Check-in: [how often to review — e.g., weekly cohort analysis] ``` ### Step 6: Deliver Present the constraint diagnosis, top 3 levers, strongest growth loop, and the 3-week playbook. Close with: the single action that, if done this week, would have the most impact on sustainable growth. ## Delivery If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke `/atlas-report` with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path.
