Prompt1587 chars · 256 words
Build a solo-founder launch system called "Zero to One" — a structured 14-day system for going from idea to first paying customer.

Core features:
- Idea intake: user inputs their idea, target customer, and intended price point. [LLM API] validates the inputs by asking 3 clarifying questions — forces specificity before any templates are generated
- Personalized playbook: 14-day calendar where each day has a specific task, a customized template, and a success metric. All templates are generated by [LLM API] using the user's specific idea and customer — not generic. Day 1: problem validation script. Day 3: landing page copy. Day 5: outreach email. Day 7: customer interview guide. Day 10: sales conversation framework. Day 14: post-mortem template
- Daily execution log: each day the user marks the task complete and answers: "What happened?" and "What's the specific blocker if incomplete?" — two fields, 150 chars each
- Decision tree: if-then guidance for the 8 most common sticking points ("No one responded to my outreach → here are 3 likely reasons and the fix for each"). Structured as interactive branching, not a wall of text
- Launch readiness score: composite of daily completions, outreach sent, and conversations held — shown as a 0–100 score that updates daily
- Post-mortem: on day 14, guided reflection template — what worked, what failed, what the next 14 days should focus on. AI generates a one-page summary

Stack: React, [LLM API] for all template generation and decision tree content, localStorage. High-energy design — daily progress always front and center.
