— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Strategy Sprint produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Live research on the opportunity set
Current external sources on the opportunity set are researched during the run rather than recalled from training data, and every source travels with the output.
Human sign-off before the write-up
The run pauses for a person to confirm the options that matter before the deliverable is composed.
Composed as work product
Findings on the opportunity set are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a option.
Why this is expensive by hand
Strategic assessment of the opportunity set lives or dies on whether the evidence behind it is retraceable. Options assessed on the same basis is the typical trigger — compare every option against identical criteria instead of arguing from preference. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 1–2 weeks of manual work.
How this Skill produces it
Skillsize turns that work into a Skill: you supply the material, and what comes back is a scored assessment of each option with sources shown, with a written recommendation with the trade-offs made explicit. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. Net effect: 1–2 weeks down to ~25 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Who it's for
- Strategy and corporate development teams
- Consultants producing evidence-led recommendations
- Founders and executives testing new directions
- Anyone who has to cite what they claim
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Strategy Sprint exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
