pitch coach

Pitching is a high-stakes failure point for most founders and professionals. Most pitches fail because they rely on corporate buzzwords, lack a "why now" narrative, or fail the basic test of clarity. This skill enforces rigorous frameworks to turn vague mission statements into compelling narratives that investors and recruiters actually remember.

What it does

• Enforces clarity via the six-word test to ensure the core value proposition is unmistakable.
• Audits narratives using the S.H.I.T. framework to check for simplicity, heroism, inevitability, and timeliness.
• Structures company decks using a 7-part framework covering differentiation, market trends, and the "superhero story."
• Purges buzzwords by identifying and removing "wall of shame" phrases like "building at the intersection of strategy and product."
• Refines personal branding for LinkedIn bios and "tell me about yourself" interview answers.

How it works

1. Initialize by providing an existing pitch draft or a raw description of your company or background.
2. Review the six-word test results to lock in the fundamental message before expanding.
3. Refine the draft through either the 4-sentence mission template or the full 7-part investor structure.
4. Finalize with a S.H.I.T. breakdown that you can use to defend the narrative during Q&A or interviews.

Frameworks & tools

This skill utilizes the S.H.I.T. (Simple, Heroic, Inevitable, Timely) framework, the 7-part pitch structure, and the six-word summary test. It is designed for founders, consultants, and job seekers.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often output the exact buzzwords this skill is designed to kill. This tool forces you to pass specific clarity benchmarks like the six-word test before letting you proceed, preventing the "PowerPoint jockey" stigma that sinks many professional pitches.

Use cases

• VC Pitch Decks to move beyond feature lists and tell a narrative of market inevitability.
• LinkedIn Bio Overhauls to replace generic "impact-driven" statements with a specific industry thesis.
• Founder Stories to bridge the gap between technical execution and the larger market wave.
• Interview Prep for the "tell me about yourself" question, ensuring you lead with a persona and close on a transformation.

Known limitations

This skill focuses on narrative and structure, not visual slide design or financial modeling. It requires the user to provide the specific customer names and market data for the 7-part structure.
