Hire an AI business growth channel test planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A business profile: what you sell, who buys, how they buy and the main bottleneck
• All 19 channels compared, each with one idea and a rank
• A shortlist of up to three small tests, with a cash cap, a time cap and a go or stop rule for each
• A plan for each chosen test, and the actions that need your approval
• A review plan for when your results come in

How it does the job well

• Start from the user problem and the evidence for it, then the solution.
• Write decisions down with the reason and the options you rejected.
• Keep scope small enough to ship and learn. Name what is out of scope.
• Define how success will be measured before building.

Mistakes it avoids

• Treating opinions or one loud request as proven demand.
• Specs that skip edge cases, error states or dependencies.
• Roadmaps with dates but no owners or confidence levels.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You run a shop, a service, a local business or an online store and want more customers.

• business-profile.md. What you sell, who buys, the price, how they buy, a dated goal, the bottleneck and a source for each fact.
• channel-matrix.csv. All 19 channels, each with one idea for your business, a fit score and a rank.
• shortlist.md. Up to three small tests picked from the ranking, with combined cash and time limits.
• experiments/<channel>.md. A plan per chosen channel with an owner, cash cap, tracking, review date and a go, revise or stop rule.
• results-ledger.csv. A dated record of each test, its status and the results you supply.
• review.md and next-test.md. Whether to focus, revise, stop or wait, and the next action, once you bring results.

How the work is checked

• Each of the 19 channels has one idea and a reason for its rank, and none is skipped silently.
• At most three pilots are chosen, and their combined cash and time are within the stated limits, or marked as proposed.
• Every pilot has a cap, a customer-quality outcome, a review date and a go, revise or stop rule.
• Facts carry a source and date. Guesses are marked. Private metrics are "unknown", never filled in.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Profile the business. Reads your link and records what you sell, who buys, the price, how they buy, one dated goal and the bottleneck. Private numbers stay unknown.
• Compare all 19 channels. Gives each channel one idea for your business, ranks them against your goal and picks up to three cheap tests.
• Plan only the chosen tests. Runs the specialist skill for each chosen channel. The others are marked skipped, with a reason.
• Review your results. Checks customer quality and cost per paid order when you bring results, then says focus, revise, stop or wait.

2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

For the primary method, when used

• A public link to your shop, site or service page, or pasted text of it
• Your growth goal and deadline (optional)
• Your cash and time limits (optional)
• Past tests and their results (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• A list of your past orders by source, if you track it
• Your price and cost per order
• Customer reviews that say why people bought

Tools and access

• A chat AI that can read a web link: It reads your shop or site itself. Without browsing, paste the text of your main pages.
• A spreadsheet: It keeps the results ledger as the tests run.

Tasks you can use it for

• You run a shop, a service, a local business or an online store and want more customers.
• You have tried one or two channels and cannot tell which one is working.
• You want to test a growth idea cheaply before you commit money or time.
• A friend or agency suggested a channel and you want to compare it with the other 18.

Limits to check before starting

• You build software with sign-ups and subscriptions: use the SaaS growth channel test planner workflow, which counts activation and retention.
• You have no product, price or offer yet: write down what you sell and who buys it first, then come back.
• You want a full campaign built and sent: this workflow plans small tests and stops before anything is sent or spent.
• You only want to rank a list of ideas you already have: use the Growth idea ranker.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the workflow pack and add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Use your strongest model.
• Paste your business link. Add your goal, cash cap and weekly hours if you know them.
• Say: Run the Bullseye workflow in general-business mode, and mark anything you cannot verify as MISSING.
• Read the channel matrix and the shortlist. Fix any wrong fact about your price, buyer or costs before you go on.
• Approve each test yourself. The AI sends, spends and publishes nothing for you.
• Run the tests, then paste the results back and ask for the review.
