FAQPage Schema
How do I structure startup ideation into actionable phases?

Startup ideation can be structured into an 11-phase pipeline covering divergent thinking, niche selection, competitor analysis, positioning, and validation. This approach breaks complex business planning into guided, sequential steps with integrated progress tracking.

What is a phase-based approach to business planning and when do I need it?

A phase-based approach to business planning divides startup development into structured stages like market focus, offering, and money modeling. You need it when orchestrating complex ideation processes that require systematic progress tracking and expert domain guidance.

How do I start a new business planning session and track progress?

Start a new business planning session using the command `/sk-startupkit new-session <session-name>`. The system manages your brainstorming state, provides a progress dashboard summarizing the current phase, and tracks next steps.

Can I use domain expert boards for competitive strategy and niche selection?
