After the founder brief, turn it into an honest diagnosis and a prioritized, stage-aware GTM roadmap saved as docs/gtm-cofounder/gtm-roadmap.md. This is the hub the founder returns to every session to see where they are and the single next move. Use right after start-here, whenever the founder doesn't know what to work on next, wants a plan instead of a one-off task, or is drowning in disconnected tactics.
