PROJECT DIRECTORY SETUP
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
StratArts saves analysis outputs to a dedicated '.strategy/' folder in your project.
Current working directory: {CURRENT_WORKING_DIR}
Where is your project directory for this business?
a: Current directory ({CURRENT_WORKING_DIR}) - Use this directory
b: Different directory - I'll provide the path
c: No project yet - Create new project directory
Select option (a, b, or c): _
Implementation Logic:
If user selects a (current directory):
.strategy/ folder exists.strategy/foundation-strategy/ and confirmIf user selects b (different directory):
Please provide the absolute path to your project directory:
Path: _
Then validate path exists and repeat steps 1-5 above.
If user selects c (create new project):
Please provide:
1. Project name (for folder): _
2. Where to create it (path): _
Then create directory structure and confirm.

Is this data still current?
a: Yes, use all data (saves 20-30 min)
b: Partially current - I'll update specific areas
c: Outdated - gather fresh data
Select option (a, b, or c): _
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
If user selects a: Proceed using both outputs, skip to Step 3 (Data Collection for remaining gaps)
If user selects b: Ask which areas need updating, then proceed
If user selects c: Proceed to Step 2 with full data collection
⚠️ PARTIAL: Only one prerequisite skill detected:

Missing for comprehensive business model design:
• {List gaps from missing skill}
Your options:
a: Run missing skill first ({skill-name}, ~XX min) - Recommended
b: Proceed now - I'll ask questions to fill gaps
c: Update existing data - confirm what's changed

Business model design is most effective after validation and market sizing.
RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW:
1. business-idea-validator (60-90 min) - Validates problem-solution fit
2. market-opportunity-analyzer (75-120 min) - Sizes market opportunity
3. business-model-designer (this skill) - Designs monetization
WHY THIS SEQUENCE HELPS:
• Validation first = Ensures real problem worth solving
• Market sizing second = Confirms big enough opportunity
• Business model third = Designs profitable capture strategy
Your options:
a: Follow recommended workflow (most comprehensive)
b: Proceed now - I'll ask all necessary questions
Select option (a or b): _
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
If user selects a: Recommend running business-idea-validator first
If user selects b: Proceed to Step 2
Only present if proceeding without full prerequisite data:
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DATA COLLECTION APPROACH
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
I can gather the required information in two ways:
a: 📋 Structured Questions (Recommended for first-timers)
• I'll ask multiple-choice questions to understand context
• Then targeted open-ended questions for each BMC block
• Takes 25-35 minutes
• More comprehensive data collection
b: 💬 Conversational (Faster for experienced founders)
• You provide a freeform description of your business
• I'll ask follow-up questions only where needed
• Takes 15-20 minutes
• Assumes you know what information is relevant
Select option (a or b): _
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Wait for user to respond with their choice.
You will gather these areas of information (one question at a time):
