Capture what you know.
Structure what you don't.

How It Works

A guided interview, not a form fill

The skill walks you through nine areas of a business opportunity — asking the right questions, capturing your answers, and building a structured brief that other evaluation skills can reference.

  • 9-step interactive interview (not a form fill)
  • Reads existing opportunity context if available
  • Captures elevator pitch, problem, market, model
  • Documents key people and their commitment
  • Records confidence levels and gut check
  • Saves structured brief.md for other skills to use

What Gets Captured

Nine areas, one structured brief

Each interview covers nine areas that together give a complete picture of the opportunity. The output is a structured markdown brief that other skills — market research, competitor analysis, viability scoring — can read and build on.

  • Elevator Pitch
  • Problem & Market
  • Business Model
  • Your Angle
  • Key People
  • Confidence & Risks
  • Resources
  • Gut Check
  • Next Steps
