We want to test micro-influencer partnerships on Instagram for our eco-friendly activewear line. Can you structure a traction testing blueprint for us? Please outline the primary strategic decision to make, the channel/target customer context, an assumptions grid detailing how each is measured and what triggers a drop, the experiment parameters like spent limits and runtime, a set of target metrics with tracking mechanisms, clear threshold rules for when to scale up, refine, or kill the channel, and the subsequent steps for each potential outcome.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Uses '## Channel Strategy' as a second-level markdown section. | Missed | Passed |
| Specifies decision rules structured around doubling down, iterating, and killing the test. | Passed | Passed |
| Requires tracking mechanisms to be established prior to running the experiment. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this skill to design traction tests that create decision-quality evidence. It turns a candidate channel strategy into a scoped experiment with assumptions, metrics, budget, duration, and next-step rules.
Primary source: Traction, chapters 3 and 4, plus the appendix.
See middle-ring-test-prompts.md for paraphrased starter tests by channel.
Use when validating whether a channel strategy could become the core channel. Keep it cheap, fast, and strategy-level.
Answer:
Use after a core channel is chosen. Inner-ring tests optimize the winning strategy or search for a better strategy inside the same channel.
