Elevator pitch stress-tested for different listener types
Write an elevator pitch for business_or_product and stress-test it against different listeners, since the same pitch often fails differently depending on who's hearing it.
Core facts: core_facts
Do this:
1. Write a baseline 30-second pitch (roughly 75-90 words spoken).
2. Simulate 3 different listener reactions: a busy investor who's heard 50 pitches today, a potential customer who has the problem but has never thought about solving it with software, and a skeptical friend who will ask the question everyone's afraid to ask.
3. For each simulated listener, tell me specifically where the baseline pitch would lose them (too vague, assumes context they don't have, doesn't answer their actual question) based on how that type of listener typically reacts.
4. Revise the pitch into 2 variants, one investor-oriented (leads with market/mechanism), one customer-oriented (leads with their pain, not our solution).
5. Write the single hardest question a truly skeptical listener would ask after any version of this pitch, and a honest, non-defensive answer to it.
