Building StratOS: strategic clarity for small businesses
I’m building StratOS, an AI-powered strategic assessment platform for small business owners who are making revenue but don’t know what to focus on next.
Traditional consultants can charge $5,000+ just to tell you what’s wrong. Most small businesses need that clarity, but can’t justify the price. StratOS starts with a free assessment, then turns the answers into a personalized strategic report for $49. There’s also a $97/month Growth plan for ongoing guidance.
I don’t code. I focus on the customer problem, positioning, and distribution while AI handles the product build.
The goal is simple: make StratOS the first thing a small business owner does when they don’t know what to do next.
If you run a small business, what’s the biggest strategic question you wish someone would answer clearly?
The interesting part is that you’re selling clarity before execution. That puts the product much closer to a decision people already feel the need to make than another generic business-planning tool.
Exactly. Most small business owners don’t need another blank planning tool—they need a clear diagnosis and a prioritized next move. Once the right problem is identified, execution becomes much easier. That’s the gap StratOS is built to fill.
That distinction is interesting. I’d be curious what you’ve learned so far about the problems owners actually come to StratOS trying to solve.
I believe it’s too early to claim a pattern from customer data. My current hypothesis is that owners aren’t looking for another business-plan template; they’re trying to understand why growth feels stuck and what deserves attention first—positioning, sales, their offer, or competing priorities. StratOS is built to test that hypothesis, and I’m now validating whether the diagnosis feels specific and useful enough to pay for.
That’s fair. The willingness to pay seems like the most interesting part to learn from at this stage.
Would be good to compare notes sometime — what’s the best email to reach you on?
Absolutely—happy to compare notes . I’d be especially interested in what you’re learning about willingness to pay. But I can’t post my email here in the comments.
