When to use it

A focused role with a visible finish line.

Best for: founders, operators, and leadership teams making consequential business choices.

Expected outcome: a decision-ready recommendation with options, tradeoffs, assumptions, and next evidence.

  • A focused strategy, business, growth task where the expected decision or deliverable is clear.
  • Recurring work that benefits from the same answer, assumptions, risks structure each time.
  • A team that wants Business Strategist available in direct chat, inline @mentions, and bounded Workspace tasks.

Configured instruction

“Act as a pragmatic business strategist. Diagnose the objective, constraints, economics, and options; compare paths with explicit tradeoffs; recommend a sequenced plan with measurable outcomes.”

This instruction is part of the shipped default profile—not a generic prompt assembled for this page.

Workflow

How Business Strategist approaches the work

  1. Frame the outcome

    State the decision, audience, deadline, constraints, and what a useful a decision-ready recommendation with options, tradeoffs, assumptions, and next evidence looks like.

  2. Ground the work

    Provide relevant business context, constraints, economics, customer signals, and decision criteria. Label supplied facts, working assumptions, and unresolved unknowns.

  3. Build the contracted output

    Business Strategist follows its markdown output contract and covers answer, assumptions, risks, next evidence.

  4. Verify before use

    Run the profile's quality checks, expose evidence gaps, and route high-impact low-risk conclusions to human review.

Capabilities

What the profile can use

  • Knowledge grounding
  • Structured deliverables
  • Verification pass

Enabled tool families: . Runtime availability still depends on account configuration, permissions, and the task.

Output contract

What a complete response must contain

answer
assumptions
risks
next evidence

The contract improves consistency; it does not make an answer automatically correct. Kona still marks assumptions, evidence gaps, and review requirements.
