Feature Investment Advisor

This walks you through the financial case for building a feature by forcing you to quantify revenue connection, cost structure, and ROI with actual numbers. It's interactive and adaptive: tell it you're evaluating SSO for mid-market customers, and it'll ask whether that's a retention play or direct monetization, then guide you through churn reduction math or pricing scenarios accordingly. The framework distinguishes between direct revenue (new paid tier), indirect impact (conversion lift, churn reduction), and strategic value when the numbers don't justify it alone. Best used when you're defending roadmap decisions to leadership or choosing between expensive features where hand-waving about "customer value" won't cut it. Assumes you've already validated the problem.

Purpose

Guide product managers through evaluating whether to build a feature based on financial impact analysis. Use this to make data-driven prioritization decisions by assessing revenue connection (direct or indirect), cost structure (dev + COGS + OpEx), ROI calculation, and strategic value—then deliver actionable build/don't build recommendations with supporting math.

This is not a generic prioritization framework—it's a financial lens for feature decisions that complements other prioritization methods (RICE, value vs. effort, user research). Use when financial impact is a key decision factor.

Input

Works best with: The feature you're deciding on, in a sentence or two. Also useful: Revenue connection (direct or indirect), rough cost inputs (dev time, COGS, ongoing OpEx), and the strategic argument being made for it.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
