 "how_to_use": [
  "Download the pack and give it to your AI, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.",
  "Describe your offer in a few lines. Name one deliverable and one customer type. Add the work you have and your weekly hours.",
  "Read the offer and proof gaps first. If it says your offer is too wide, narrow it before you do anything else.",
  "Make the planned spec projects yourself, with your own image or video tool. This workflow plans them and does not make them. Label each one as a spec project.",
  "Check the pitch draft against your real work. Send pitches yourself, and only once you have a sample worth sending.",
  "Work through the 90-day plan one week at a time. Move to the next stage only when its evidence gate is met."
