Sample Output
A real example of what this skill produces.
NAVAL LEVERAGE AUDIT: Senior Dev / SaaS Pivot Decision
Specific Knowledge: STRONG Full-stack + DevOps + intimate knowledge of local dev pain. The intersection of knowing the pain AND being able to build the fix is rare.
Leverage Map: Current: Labor (consulting = selling hours) Best move: Code leverage (the SaaS IS the move — it runs without you) Permissionless opportunities: SaaS tool, technical writing on dev environment problems
Time-for-Money Trap: TRAPPED 30 hrs/week × $200 = hard income ceiling. Stop working = income stops.
Productize Yourself:
- Finish and launch the dev environment SaaS (already 6 months in — ship it)
- Write "local dev environments are broken" essay and share publicly
- Sell a $49 guide: "The Local Dev Stack I Use at Every Job"
Long Game Score: 4/10 You're actively building the right asset (the SaaS) but funding it with trapped labor. Every consulting hour is now opportunity cost.
One Highest-Leverage Move: Ship the SaaS. You have the specific knowledge, the code is half-done, and you're solving your own daily pain. Stop consulting hours that delay this.

About This Skill
What it does
The Naval Leverage Audit is a strategic framework designed to help software engineers and startup founders transition from trading time for money to building permissionless wealth. It applies the core principles of Naval Ravikant—specific knowledge, leverage, accountability, and judgment—to your current career, codebase, or business model.
Why use this skill
Most developers are trapped in high-paying 'time-for-money' loops (salaries or hourly consulting). This skill acts as a ruthless business strategist that analyzes your situation to find where you are leaving leverage on the table. It identifies if your work is a depreciating asset or a compounding one, providing a clear roadmap to 'productize yourself.'
Supported outcomes
- Specific Knowledge Check: Identifies unteachable, obsession-driven skills that give you a competitive edge.
- Leverage Mapping: Audits your use of Labor, Capital, Code, and Media to maximize scale.
- Wealth Equation Analysis: Scores your current trajectory based on Naval's proprietary wealth framework.
- Productization Roadmap: Generates three concrete product ideas derived from your existing expertise.
Unlike a generic AI prompt, this skill is pre-configured with the specific constraints of the Navalmanack and 'How to Get Rich' philosophy. The output is a structured audit report that flags 'wealth blockers' and identifies your single highest-leverage move.
Use Cases
- Determine if a side project has higher compounding potential than a job offer.
- Identify specific knowledge to pivot from consulting to a SaaS product.
- Detect 'wealth blockers' in your current income and business model.
- Create a plan to scale personal impact using code and media leverage.
- Evaluate a job offer vs. continuing a side project using Naval's framework
- Identify whether a codebase is a compounding asset or just billable hours
- Find concrete productization opportunities from existing developer expertise
Known Limitations
The Specific Knowledge section requires the user to describe their actual skills and interests honestly. Vague inputs like "I'm a developer" produce vague leverage maps. The more specific the input, the more actionable the output.
