SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Founders and fractional CMOs need a comprehensive, client-specific marketing plan that ties budget, team, funnel stage, and funding milestones into one executable document, instead of scattered tactics and generic templates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-phase resumable workflow: INIT (research and intake), REVIEW (section-by-section approval), and FINALIZE (compile and verify), with progress tracked in a state file so interrupted plans can resume. - 13-section AARRR plan: Executive summary, strategic frame, current state scored against a 17-section rubric, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue, 90-day roadmap, 12-month outlook, marketing operations stack, 139-idea tactical bank, and measurement/RACI. - Funding-stage and budget modeling: Maps capability unlocks from pre-seed through Series B+, and derives budgets via revenue-based or goal-based methods with blended CAC math. - Use Case: A fractional CMO starting an engagement with a Series A B2B SaaS runs the skill, ingests the client's audit scores, and produces an investor-ready 12-month plan with owner-assigned 90-day moves. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /marketing-plan followed by your client name or domain to begin the intake and build the full plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a 12-month marketing plan for a startup?

Run the skill with your client name or domain to start a three-phase workflow: intake and research, interactive section-by-section review, then final compilation. The output is a 13-section AARRR-structured markdown plan covering acquisition through revenue, a 90-day roadmap, and a 12-month outlook.

What is an AARRR marketing plan?

AARRR stands for Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue, a funnel framework that tags every marketing move to a funnel stage. The plan uses it to sequence work by the binding constraint rather than organizing by channel.

Can I turn an existing marketing audit into a plan?

Yes. If you already have a scored current-state audit, the skill ingests those scores directly into Section 3 without re-scoring, notes the scoring date, and converts the identified gaps into sequenced moves in the 90-day roadmap and AARRR sections.

Does the marketing plan skill work for pre-seed companies with no budget?

Yes. It recognizes funding tiers from pre-seed through Series B+ and adjusts recommendations accordingly, skipping paid acquisition until budget unlocks and leaning on organic, lifecycle, and ambassador channels for bootstrapped teams.

How is the marketing budget calculated in the plan?

Two methods are supported: revenue-based budgeting at 5-40% of ARR, or goal-based budgeting that reverse-engineers spend from the revenue target using ARPC, CAC, and retention rate. A 10-20% experimental buffer is always added on top.

When should I not use the marketing-plan skill?

Do not use it for single-channel tactical work like email sequences, ad campaigns, or SEO audits; channel-specific skills handle those. It is also not the right tool when you only want a list of marketing ideas without committing to a structured plan.
