Proof: Fewer than five qualified buyers agree to discuss the workflow after targeted outreach.\n- **2026-09-27 / Execution checkpoint 6**: Promote to deeper implementation only once the wedge survives interviews or paid-pilot outreach. Proof: Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.\n\n## Builder Prompt\nCreate a dated execution plan for \"Field-to-florist translation sheets for flower farmers\". Keep the first milestone tied to Build sheets manually for ten farms for a month and measure florist reorder rate versus their text-thread baseline.. Use these bottlenecks: Small niche with strong seasonality; revenue concentrates in the growing season.; Two-sided adoption: florists must prefer the sheet over the wholesaler's one-click habit.; A broad AI assistant can flatten differentiation unless the wedge is painfully specific.; The first release can become a generic dashboard if the job is not named tightly.; Needs real buyer access, not only desk research.; Needs proof of budget or repeated urgency.; Needs a crisp wedge before broad product work starts.. Use these accelerators: Can talk to the buyer before writing much code.; Can ship a narrow first-win demo quickly.; Can use local-first research artifacts to keep validation moving without a large team.; Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result.; Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data.; Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants.; Concierge review or paid template. Link the output to the Idea Builder prompt and do not expand beyond the first validated workflow.\n"
