business-health-diagnostic

Business Health Diagnostic is an interactive SaaS assessment skill that evaluates a company's overall health across four connected dimensions rather than a single metric: growth and retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position. It solves the problem of leaders having strong numbers in one area while systemic issues hide elsewhere, and it is built to surface red flags early and prioritize fixes by urgency ahead of board meetings, quarterly reviews, or fundraising.

The skill works as a guided, adaptive questionnaire (up to around four questions) that accepts whatever metrics the user has — growth rate, NRR/GRR, CAC payback, burn multiple, runway — and flags what is missing rather than requiring complete data. It applies stage-specific benchmarks for early (pre-$10M ARR), growth ($10M-$50M ARR), and scale ($50M+ ARR) companies, then classifies findings into Critical, High Priority, and Medium Priority buckets (for example runway under six months or LTV:CAC below 1.5:1 as critical). It explicitly frames anti-patterns (not single-metric, not stage-agnostic, not static, not just numbers) and defers to a shared workshop-facilitation protocol for interaction style, one-question turns, progress labels, and pause/resume behavior. The output is a prioritized health scorecard with recommendations.

Target users are product managers, founders, and executives preparing board or investor updates, running QBRs, doing annual planning, or prepping a fundraise. The skill notes when not to use it — pre-revenue companies, pure-research situations, or when tactical single-topic guidance (feature, channel, pricing) is more appropriate. It is purely an analytical/advisory framework contained in a single SKILL.md with no code or external calls.
