Stack the right tools and signals for the workflow.

“What tools and signals does this workflow need, so I stop buying one more thing?”

Picks the tools that move the data and the signals that tell the workflow who and what matters, so it runs on the right inputs. Not a buy-everything shopping trip.

ABOUT THIS SKILL

What this skill does

Assembles the stack for one workflow: the tech that carries the data and the signals that give it context. The point is not to shop for tools or to rebuild infrastructure. It is to give this specific workflow the right inputs, so it runs on real context instead of a lone tool guessing.

Inputs

One workflow with its steps and its crux named (the output of Solve the Problem). No connectors required to plan the stack.

How it works

  1. 1
    1. Walk the steps and name the context each one needs. For account prep: which account, what fit, what timing, what history. Context is the signal a step needs to do its job.
    1. For each step, name the signal first, then the tech that carries it. Fit is a signal (your ICP model). Timing is a signal (intent, product usage). The CRM, the enrichment vendor, the dialer are tech that carry data. Signal first, tech second.
    2. Buy the plumbing, build the thin edge. Buy the commodity tech you would be crazy to rebuild. Build only the small layer that is your advantage: the scoring logic, the rules, the view. Most of the edge is signal logic, not infrastructure.
    3. Assemble the context, do not just connect tools. A stack of tools with no signals is plumbing with nothing flowing through it. The output of this move is the workflow running on the right signals.
    4. Decide per workflow. The signals and tech that fit this workflow may be wrong for the next. The unit is the workflow, not the contract.
