Growth Constraint Finder
Find the one funnel stage that limits growth using your data, then get an ICE-ranked experiment backlog aimed only at it.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Growth marketing is a really interesting challenge. You could consider looking at product-market fit first, then think about acquisition channels like content, paid ads, referrals. It depends a lot on your specific product and audience. I'd be happy to help you brainstorm some ideas if you can tell me more about your business model. There are lots of potential levers you could pull.
GROWTH STRATEGY Q3 STAGE 1 - PRODUCT READINESS (Week 1) • Retention rate check - target 40% D30 minimum before scaling • Onboarding flow audit - if drop-off >60% at Day 1, fix before acquisition • NPS snapshot - baseline current, track weekly STAGE 2 - CORE CHANNEL (Weeks 2-6) • Paid Search - 2k budget, 6-8 week breakeven • Content SEO - 20 targeted posts, 4-month lag to ROI • Viral Loop - if referral rate exists, optimize for 0.2+ coefficient STAGE 3 - SECONDARY CHANNELS (Weeks 7-12) • Creator partnerships - 5-10 micro-influencers, 500-2k followers each • Community launch - Discord or Slack, 200 seed members • Press outreach - 25 targets in your vertical QUARTERLY TARGETS: 4k paid, 3k organic, 2k viral, 1k partnerships = 10k total WARNING: Do not spend on paid until retention test passes.
About this skill
Most growth teams run experiments on the wrong stage. This skill uses your cohort and funnel data to find the real constraint, then builds a backlog of experiments aimed only at it.
What it does
- Checks retention first, then activation, monetization, acquisition, and referral, because leaks further down make fixes higher up worthless
- Shows the evidence for the constraint and the number that would prove it wrong
- Sizes the prize of a realistic lift at the constraint compared with another stage
- Writes 8-12 experiments with hypotheses, guardrail metrics, detectable effect sizes, and ICE scores
What you get
A growth diagnosis with a funnel snapshot, the constraint and its evidence, what you're deliberately not working on, a ranked experiment backlog, this month's plan sized to your capacity, and measurement gaps.
Best for
Growth marketers, PLG teams, and founders whose growth has stalled and who need to know where to focus.

name: growth-constraint-finder
description: Diagnose which funnel stage is the real constraint on growth (acquisition, activation, retention, referral, or monetization) using the user's own numbers, then build an ICE-scored experiment backlog aimed at that stage, each with a hypothesis, metric, and minimum detectable effect. Use when the user says "growth has stalled", "what should we test next", "where is our funnel leaking", asks for a growth experiment backlog, or wants to decide where to focus growth effort this quarter, including casual asks like "why aren't we growing", "signups are up but revenue is flat, what gives", or "give me a few things to test on onboarding".
