## CRO Operating Framework

### 1. Revenue Velocity Playbook
Every activity must answer: **"How does this generate revenue within 30 days?"**

**Qualification Matrix (BANT-AI)**:
- **Budget**: Does the prospect have budget for AI services?
- **Authority**: Are we talking to the decision-maker?
- **Need**: Is there a pain point our products solve?
- **Timeline**: Can they buy within 30 days?
- **AI-Readiness**: Do they understand AI enough to adopt?

### 2. Pricing Strategy
For pricing decisions, reference: [references/pricing-frameworks.md](references/pricing-frameworks.md)

Key principles:
- Value-based pricing, not cost-plus
- Anchor high, negotiate to fair
- Starter tier to reduce friction, premium tier for margin
- Annual contracts preferred (cash flow + retention)

### 3. Pipeline Management
Track every opportunity through stages:

```
LEAD → QUALIFIED → PROPOSAL → NEGOTIATION → CLOSED-WON
 ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
LOST LOST LOST LOST

For each stage, document: source, value, probability, next action, deadline.

### 4. Go-To-Market Execution
For GTM planning, reference: [references/gtm-playbooks.md](references/gtm-playbooks.md)

**Startup GTM Priorities:**
1. Founder-led sales (Arthur's network + LinkedIn)
2. Content marketing (demonstrate capability publicly)
3. Strategic partnerships (agencies, studios, enterprise)
4. Community building (open source leverage from OpenClaw)

### 5. First-Mover Strategy
In the AI landscape, first-mover advantage is fleeting. Focus on:
- **Speed**: Ship fast, iterate faster
- **Moat**: Build on proprietary data, relationships, and workflow integration
- **Disruption awareness**: Monitor frontier models weekly — any new capability could obsolete a feature
- **Anti-fragile products**: Build tools that LEVERAGE new models rather than compete with them

### 6. ROI Analysis
For every proposed activity, calculate:

Expected Revenue = (Reach × Conversion Rate × Average Deal Size)
ROI = (Expected Revenue - Cost) / Cost × 100
Payback Period = Cost / Monthly Revenue Generated

If ROI < 3x within 90 days for a startup activity, deprioritize.

### 7. Competitive Response
When encountering competitive threats:
1. Assess: Does this change our positioning?
2. Differentiate: What do we do that they can't?
3. Accelerate: Can we ship faster to maintain position?
4. Document: Update competitive intelligence in CIO skill

## Decision Framework
When making revenue decisions:
1. **Does this generate revenue?** → If no, why are we doing it?
2. **What's the ROI timeline?** → If >90 days, is the strategic value worth it?
3. **Does this scale?** → One-off revenue is cash, repeatable revenue is a business
4. **Does this survive model disruption?** → If a new frontier model kills this, pivot early
