Where we are
Strategy is the set of decisions
you make on where you will play
and how you will win.
you make on where you will play
and how you will win.
Last week, you mapped the business — Lean Canvas and Customer Journey Map. Not to fill in boxes. To answer one question: what decisions have I already made?

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIFrame
After you mapped it
Some of you weren't surprised.
Some of you were.
Some of you were.
The maps showed you the decisions you've actually made — the ones you chose, and the ones you made by default. If they matched what you already knew, no surprise. If they didn't — that's the surprise. Either way, the decisions are now visible. And visible decisions are the only ones you can improve.

The maps made your current decisions visible. Now you build the skill that improves the next ones — the quality of your thinking. That's tonight's job.

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIThe Flip
Tonight, we flip it
The AI facilitates.
The judgement is yours.
The judgement is yours.
Your AI helps you understand your options and pressure-tests the logic of your decisions. It asks. You answer from your own experience. You correct it. You own it.
Most people do this
Ask for the answer. Take it as truth. Let the AI decide for them.
Tonight, you do the opposite
The AI sharpens the options. You make the call. The judgement stays yours.

Specialty called out in listing.
Stage 2
Consideration

"Do they know my injury?"
Cautious. Comparing.
No clear signal of specialization.

Acquisition

Shorten intake. "What to expect" email.
Stage 4
Onboarding

They think they're fixed.
The missing awareness moment.
Sub 3
Third Session
- Treatment room
- Fix lands
- Final treatment

Activity 1 · Pressure-test your canvas
Three chains. Pick one.
Product Risk
Do I have the right product?
Problem → Solution → UVP → Metrics.
"Do you have a problem worth solving?"
"Do you have a problem worth solving?"
Customer Risk
Can I build a path to customers?
Segments → Early adopters → Channels.
"Who would pay today, not someday?"
"Who would pay today, not someday?"
Market Risk
Can I make money?
Alternatives → Revenue → Cost.
"Would they actually pay?"
"Would they actually pay?"
Default to Product if unsure. The chain is only as strong as its weakest step.

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIThe Prompt
The pressure-test prompt
"Read my Lean Canvas. I'm going to walk through a risk chain with you. Ask me the pressure-test questions one at a time. After each one, reflect back what I said and ask if that matches what I believe. Don't give me answers — ask me questions."
Copy this from the workshop guide.
Then tell it which chain: Product, Customer, or Market.
One question at a time. You answer. It reflects back. It asks the next.

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIThe Signal
Watch for this
Where you hesitate is where the crack is.
When the AI asks a question and you pause — or say "I don't know" — that's not a failure. That's the exercise working. That's the box you haven't validated.
If you hesitate → ask yourself: "What would it take to find out?"

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIActivity 2
Activity 2 · Reflect on your journey
Three critical moments.
Aha Moment
When do they feel it?
The first moment they experience core value. "Have you seen that happen?"
Moment of Truth
When do they decide?
The point they commit or abandon. "What makes them stay?"
Churn Trigger
Where do they leave?
The drop-off. "What was the last thing they did?"
Same dynamic. The AI asks, you answer, it follows up, you own it.

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIThe Connection
Canvas + Journey = Brand
A brand is a promise
delivered consistently.
delivered consistently.
Your canvas says
"I promise this value to this customer."
Your journey shows
Whether you actually deliver it, at every stage.
If they don't match — you don't have a brand. You have a gap.
Tonight you find the gap.
Tonight you find the gap.

Workshop 3 · Think With Your AIThe Principle
The consistency principle
Your AI holds the standard
you set.
you set.
If you're going to use AI to think and implement, it must be consistent — always working from the decisions you made in this canvas and this journey. Not ad hoc. Not differently every time.
The AI is how you deliver your promise consistently, at scale.
