The "Constraint Finder" Prompt

Want AI to analyze your metrics using TOC principles? Use this prompt with ChatGPT:

"I want to apply Theory of Constraints thinking to diagnose where my consulting pipeline bottleneck is. Please interview me and provide detailed TOC analysis.

Ask me these questions one at a time:

Current Throughput (Past 90 Days):

1. Approximately how many people became AWARE of you?
2. How many ENGAGED?
3. How many SUBSCRIBED?
4. How many CONVERTED to clients?
5. How many were EXCITED after first experience?
6. How many ASCENDED?
7. How many became vocal ADVOCATES?
8. How many actively PROMOTED you?

Context:

9. What type of consulting do you provide?
10. What's your typical engagement structure?
11. What's your revenue goal for the next 12 months?
12. Where have you been focusing your improvement efforts?

After I answer all questions, please: 

• Calculate conversion rates for each Value Journey transition
• Compare my rates to world-class benchmarks
• Apply Theory of Constraints analysis to identify my system constraint
• Determine if my constraint is market, policy, capability, or throughput-based
• Assess whether I should EXPLOIT or ELEVATE
• Provide a prioritized 90-day constraint-breaking plan
• Give me Week 1 action steps specific to my constraint type
• Show me what system throughput would look like if I break this constraint
• Identify the likely NEXT constraint after I fix this one

Start with question #1."
