## Description

Guided journey from a stalled, plateaued business to one with an honest diagnosis, a working operating rhythm, and offers repriced to real value. Orchestrates eight skills phase by phase - good-strategy-bad-strategy, traction-eos, high-output-management, team-topologies, drive-motivation, lean-analytics, negotiation, monetizing-innovation - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (STRATEGY.md, OPERATIONS.md, METRICS.md, IMPROVE-BUSINESS-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to fix a business that has plateaued, diagnose why growth stalled, tighten strategy and execution, re-motivate a team, or says ''revenue is flat and I do not know why''. Starting from scratch with no customers: use create-business. Once the fundamentals work and the goal is expansion: use grow-business. When the product itself drags the business down: use improve-app. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.

# Improve a Business

An interactive, resumable journey for a business that already runs but has stopped moving, real revenue, real customers, a flat line. Across eight phases it works the layers in order (strategy, execution, management, structure, motivation, metrics, margin, pricing), diagnosing before treating rather than chasing one tactic at a time. The agent asks before every decision and records each choice in `docs/` so the turnaround survives across sessions.

## Core Principle

**A plateau is a diagnosis failure: diagnose before treating, and work the layers in order, strategy, execution, management, structure, motivation, metrics, margin, pricing.** Poking one tactic at a time never breaks a plateau because the constraints compound. This skill sequences the phases, asks the decision questions, and records what was decided; the constituent skills carry the actual method, invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks.

## Journey Map

| Phase | Skill | Question it answers | Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | good-strategy-bad-strategy | What single challenge is capping the business? | Creates docs/STRATEGY.md, GATE |
| 2 | traction-eos | How do we execute the strategy every week? | Creates docs/OPERATIONS.md |
| 3 | high-output-management | How does the operator multiply the team, not bottleneck it? | Extends docs/OPERATIONS.md |
| 4 | team-topologies | Is the org structure itself the constraint? | Extends docs/OPERATIONS.md |
| 5 | drive-motivation | Why has the team quietly checked out? | Extends docs/OPERATIONS.md |
| 6 | lean-analytics | Which one number tells us the truth? | Creates docs/METRICS.md |
| 7 | negotiation | Where are we leaking margin, and what do customers truly value? | Extends docs/CUSTOMER.md |
| 8 | monetizing-innovation | Are we charging for the value we deliver? | Extends docs/OFFER.md |
