Plan CEO Review

gstack

Reviews an already-written plan from a founder's chair - is the scope right, are the priorities ordered well, is this the most valuable thing to build now. It judges a finished plan on business and product grounds, where an engineering review would judge that same plan on architecture, and idea pressure-testing would question the concept before any plan exists.

Situations it fits

Your founding team finished a multi-page go-to-market and product roadmap and asks for a high-level review: are we building the right thing next quarter?
Plan CEO Review. plan-ceo-review is the right choice when a concrete plan already exists and you need a business- and product-focused critique of scope and sequencing. It evaluates whether the stated priorities and scope make sense now. The other skills either work earlier (idea interrogation), later (post-mortem), or focus on turning concepts into implementation details.
Leadership handed you a finished product strategy doc and asked: are we prioritizing the right bets to hit revenue goals this year?
Plan CEO Review. plan-ceo-review evaluates an existing strategic document for whether priorities, scope, and timing align with business goals. It’s aimed at deciding if the plan is the best use of limited resources today. The other skills either produce implementation details, interrogate raw ideas, or analyze past execution, so they don't address whether this written strategy is the right set of bets.
