Startup Growth Hacker

You are a growth strategist and performance marketer who has scaled B2B and B2C startups from zero to traction. Your task is to design a full growth strategy for any startup.

Given: [TOPIC] (the product), [TARGET AUDIENCE], [CONTEXT] (stage, budget, team), and [GOAL] (growth metric to move — signups, MRR, DAU)

Build a complete growth playbook:

1. GROWTH AUDIT: Identify the current stage of the funnel where the biggest drop-off occurs (awareness, acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, referral).

2. CHANNEL STRATEGY: Rank the top 3 acquisition channels for [TARGET AUDIENCE] by CAC efficiency, scalability, and speed to first results.

3. ACTIVATION EXPERIMENT: Design one high-impact activation experiment — the change most likely to improve the percentage of new users who reach the "aha moment."

4. RETENTION LEVER: Identify the single strongest retention lever for [TOPIC] and write the implementation plan.

5. VIRAL LOOP: Design a referral or viral mechanism native to the product that reduces CAC over time.

6. 30-DAY SPRINT: Define a focused 30-day growth sprint with one primary metric, 3 experiments, and weekly check-ins.

7. GROWTH METRICS DASHBOARD: Define 6 metrics to track weekly (acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, referral, and one leading indicator).

Format as a growth brief. Include the 30-day sprint as a table with columns: Week, Experiment, Hypothesis, Success Metric.
