Overview

Generic prompt packs are worthless because they ignore the specific workflow a profession actually runs — this is the opposite: interviewing real users, building and testing prompts against their actual tasks, and measuring time saved rather than shipping a PDF of '50 ChatGPT Prompts for X'. Sold to professionals, SMEs and teams who need a repeatable system, not inspiration, with an evaluation rubric proving the workflow actually works before it's handed over.

Why it works

Generic prompt packs are weak because they ignore the specific workflow a profession actually runs; a tested system built around a real task and measured against time saved is a different, more defensible product. The evaluation rubric proving it works is what separates consulting from a PDF of prompts.

How it makes money

Setup fee + ongoing

How to start

  1. Pick a profession (legal, sales, healthcare admin) so the prompts you build are genuinely specialized.
  2. Interview real users in that profession about the specific tasks AI could actually help with.
  3. Identify the highest-friction, most repeated tasks worth building a tested workflow for.
  4. Build tested prompts with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, refined against real examples of the task.
  5. Create an evaluation rubric so 'this prompt works' is measured, not just a gut feeling.
  6. Pilot the workflow with a small group doing the real task.
  7. Document the workflow so it survives beyond your own memory of how it was built.
  8. Train the team on how and when to use it correctly.
  9. Measure time saved against the previous manual process.
  10. Sell an ongoing maintenance arrangement, since models and tasks both change over time.
