Sample input
Run the Elon business playbook on my B2B SaaS: a code review automation tool for dev teams of 5–50 people. We have 12 paying customers at $99/month. I'm not sure if we should keep building features or focus on sales.
Sample output
ELON BUSINESS PLAYBOOK: Code Review Automation SaaS
Audit 1 — Purpose & Utility Utility: 12 customers × significant dev-hours saved = real value being created Grow-the-pie: YES — faster code review helps the whole team ship Verdict: PASS
Audit 2 — First-Principles Business Model Key assumption at risk: developers will pay $99/month before this becomes a default IDE feature Physics check: automating review pattern detection is technically sound Verdict: CONDITIONAL PASS — validate churn rate before scaling acquisition
Audit 3 — Maniacal Urgency 12 customers after unknown time. Bottleneck is customer acquisition, not product. Verdict: REDIRECT — stop adding features. Run one dedicated sales sprint to 50 customers.
Audit 6 — Delete Before You Build Most likely waste: features built from 1–2 customer requests that don't generalize Verdict: Freeze roadmap. Interview all 12 customers: what nearly made them cancel?
One-Line Verdict: You have signal. The risk is feature-building that delays finding product-market fit. Freeze the roadmap and go sell.

About This Skill
What it does
This skill applies a rigorous, six-stage business leadership framework based on Elon Musk's principles of first principles, utility math, and maniacal urgency. It audits any startup, product, or business decision to strip away unnecessary complexity and focus on high-leverage growth.
Why use this skill
Most AI prompts give generic business advice. This skill forces a "physics-level" analysis that challenges your core assumptions. It helps you identify what to delete before you build, how to achieve 10x leverage using AI-augmented small teams, and how to eliminate the "ego-to-ability" ratio that kills startups. It’s a developer-centric approach to business: objective, direct, and focused on output.
Supported Analysis
- Purpose & Utility: Quantitative assessment of user impact.
- First Principles: Deconstructs business models into fundamental truths.
- Maniacal Urgency: identifies bottlenecks and parallelization opportunities.
- Leverage & Team Design: Maps tasks to AI-replaceable or human-critical roles.
- Delete Before You Build: Aggressive simplification of features and processes.
Use Cases
- Audit startup ideas using first-principles thinking to find fatal flaws.
- Identify bottleneck processes to apply maniacal urgency and 2x speed.
- Restructure teams by mapping tasks to AI-replaceable vs. human-critical.
- Determine which features to delete vs. simplify to achieve "the best part is no part."
- Audit a startup idea for structural weaknesses before committing to build Stress-test a product roadmap against Musk's 6 business pillars Identify what to delete from a business before scaling it
Known Limitations
Works best with a clear product or business description. More context = more precise audit findings. Very early-stage ideas with no customers or product yet will get framework-level guidance rather than specific verdicts.
