Go-to-market motion

LinkedIn outbound targeting independent management/IT/strategy consultants → free trial with 3 sample briefs → $29/mo conversion, supplemented by SEO content around 'consulting brief template' and 'project scope document.'

Key risks

ChatGPT and Claude already generate passable consulting briefs for free - the differentiation argument collapses the moment a prospect opens a new chat tab
Independent consultants have low software budgets and high churn; LTV of ~$300 rarely justifies paid acquisition, forcing low-ROI organic-only growth
Brief content is client-facing and legally sensitive - any AI hallucination in scope, deliverables, or pricing language destroys trust immediately and triggers cancellation
