Claude Strategy Prompt Vault — Goodbye McKinsey

AI now builds the board strategy decks that rival McKinsey consultants and surfaces them as a live operating dashboard instead of a slide deck nobody reopens. 12 prompts run the situation map, the operating model, market sizing, competitive intel, the board pack, and the dashboard spec on your own data. The work a $250K VP of strategy and a $500/hour engagement deliver.

A $200K engagement, or a live dashboard instead of a deck nobody reopens.

AI now builds the board strategy decks that rival McKinsey consultants — and surfaces them as a live operating dashboard instead of a slide deck that dies after the meeting. 12 prompts run the situation map, operating model, market sizing, board pack, and dashboard spec on your own data.

Path A

Set it up yourself

You'll create the Project, pin Opus, and run the prompts yourself. The 12 prompts are below — free. The cost is your time, plus the risk on a board-facing output: letting the board pack or the anti-consultant memo leave the room before a named human has signed off on it.

Path B

We wire it into your business

We deliver a private strategy workspace: all 12 prompts loaded into your Claude tenant, governed connectors to your warehouse and market data, a live operating dashboard wired to refresh, and board review gates so nothing reaches the table unchecked — then handed over so you own it. You get McKinsey-grade strategy as a living dashboard, not a $200K deck that dies.

What it does: AI now builds the board strategy decks that rival McKinsey consultants and surfaces them as a live operating dashboard instead of a slide deck nobody reopens. 12 prompts run the situation map, the operating model, market sizing, competitive intel, the board pack, and the dashboard spec on your own data.

I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer.

Rules:
- Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency).
- One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows).
- One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like.
- After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on.
- If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first.
- If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip.

First message: ask only "What is your operating system — macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1.

Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me):
1. Open Claude and pin Opus 4.7, then create a private Project. This is your workspace. No code, no Terminal. Your financials and company data stay in your own tenant and never leave it.
2. Run prompt 01, the onboarding router. Pick the strategy type (board pack, market entry, competitive response, operating model, fundraise) and choose where your data lives: upload exports into the Project knowledge, paste raw data, use the Claude Excel or Word add-in, or pull from a governed connector.
3. Run prompts 02 to 07 in order to produce the board pack on your own numbers, then 08 to spec the live dashboard and 09 to stress test.
4. Treat every review gate as your own sign-off. Board-facing outputs (the pack and the anti-consultant memo) need a named human to approve before they leave the room.

Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.
Step 2

Step 1 installed it. Now run these 12 prompts on your own data.

where it breaks

Before you connect live data

  • • Run dummy data first. Real client data is not a test bed.
  • • API keys never go in a public repo. Use env vars and a secrets manager.
  • • Add logging, access control, monitoring, and a rollback path before launch.
  • • Read the license. Forking a repo without checking is how lawsuits start.
