# Business Plan One-Pager

Create a concise one-page business plan with market research and financial projections.

## When to Use

- "Help me write a one-page business plan for {idea}"
- "I need a lean canvas for my startup"
- "Summarize my business idea in one page"

## Requirements

- **Brave Search MCP** for market research
- **python3** for financial projections

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Business Details

- **Business name**
- **What it does** (1 sentence)
- **Target customer** (who pays you)
- **Problem you solve**
- **How you make money** (revenue model)
- **Current stage** (idea, building, launched)

### Step 2 — Market Research

```
brave_web_search: "{INDUSTRY} market size {YEAR}"
brave_web_search: "{INDUSTRY} growth rate trends"
brave_web_search: "{CUSTOMER_SEGMENT} spending habits {INDUSTRY}"
```

### Step 3 — Generate One-Pager

```markdown
# {BUSINESS_NAME} — Business Plan
šŸ“… {DATE}

## The Problem
{2-3 sentences describing the pain point with data}

## The Solution
{2-3 sentences on what you do and why it's better}

## Target Customer
- **Primary:** {Who — demographics, behavior}
- **Size:** {How many potential customers}
- **Willingness to pay:** {Evidence}

## Revenue Model
| Stream | Price | Frequency |
|--------|-------|-----------|
| {Revenue stream 1} | ${X} | {monthly/yearly/per-use} |
| {Revenue stream 2} | ${X} | {frequency} |

## Market Opportunity
- **TAM:** ${X} — {definition}
- **SAM:** ${X} — {definition}
- **SOM (Year 1):** ${X} — {realistic target}

## Competitive Advantage
1. {What makes you different}
2. {Why this is defensible}

## Key Metrics (Targets)
| Metric | Month 3 | Month 6 | Year 1 |
|--------|---------|---------|--------|
| Customers | {N} | {N} | {N} |
| MRR | ${X} | ${X} | ${X} |
| {Key metric} | {val} | {val} | {val} |

## Costs & Breakeven
- **Monthly burn:** ${X}
- **Breakeven:** {N} customers / ${X} MRR
- **Funding needed:** ${X} for {N} months runway

## Next Steps
1. {Immediate action — this week}
2. {Short-term — this month}
3. {Medium-term — this quarter}
```

### Step 4 — Breakeven Calculation

```bash
python3 << 'PYEOF'
monthly_costs = {MONTHLY_COSTS}
price_per_customer = {PRICE}
cac = {CUSTOMER_ACQUISITION_COST}

breakeven_customers = monthly_costs / price_per_customer
print(f"Monthly costs: ${monthly_costs:,.0f}")
print(f"Price per customer: ${price_per_customer}/mo")
print(f"Breakeven: {breakeven_customers:.0f} customers")
print(f"With CAC ${cac}: need ${breakeven_customers * cac:,.0f} to acquire breakeven customers")
PYEOF
```

### Step 5 — Save

```bash
mkdir -p outputs/business
cat > "outputs/business/{BUSINESS_SLUG}-plan-{DATE}.md" << 'EOF'
{ONE_PAGER}
EOF
```

## Important Rules

- One page means one page — be ruthlessly concise
- Market size from research, not guesses
- Financial projections should be conservative
- Focus on what you KNOW, flag assumptions clearly
- Include a clear next steps section — plans are useless without action

## Example Prompts

- "Write a one-page business plan for my SaaS idea"
- "I need a lean canvas for a food delivery service"
- "Help me summarize my startup idea for potential co-founders"
