Workflow
How Business Strategist approaches the work
- 01
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.
- 02
Ground the work
Provide relevant business context, constraints, economics, customer signals, and decision criteria. Label supplied facts, working assumptions, and unresolved unknowns.
- 03
Build the contracted output
Business Strategist follows its markdown output contract and covers answer, assumptions, risks, next evidence.
- 04
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
- Current web research
- Analysis and code
- Editable workspace artifacts
Enabled tool families: web, code, canvas. Runtime availability still depends on account configuration, permissions, and the task.
Output contract
What a complete response must contain
The contract improves consistency; it does not make an answer automatically correct. Kona still marks assumptions, evidence gaps, and review requirements.
