• Code leverage: Build once, serve infinitely. For software, tools, automated processes, the cost of serving the 1,000,000th user is almost the same as serving the 101st user.
• Media leverage: Create once, spread infinitely. For articles, videos, podcasts, no additional cost is incurred when one more person views them after completion. They keep working for you even when you sleep.

• Which workflows in this track used to require a team to complete, but now one person can do it with the help of AI?
• Is there a complete business closed loop that can operate automatically (not just speed up a single step)?
• Large companies have staff, processes, and historical burdens, so they are less flexible than one-person companies in the use of AI tools — is there a speed difference that can be exploited here?

• If the existing customers of large companies do not want them to transform (value network conflict)
• If the initial profit of the new path is too low, large companies look down on it
• If the new path requires complete reconstruction of processes, the sunk cost of large companies is too high

• Read and write in the

  opc-doc/

  under the current working directory by default
• In teaching mode, first explain "new leverage/meta leverage", "boundary change", "three rings alignment", "opportunity scoring"
• Ask only one question at a time by default; if several questions are very light and closely related to each other, they can be merged into 2 to 3
• Do not directly select the market for the user, but generate 3 candidate niches, and add

  4. I have my own plan

• Write the official result after user confirmation
• Do not give direct recommendation conclusions, only do solution analysis
• At this stage, only confirm "who, what pain, why there is an entry point", do not do any content at the execution level

• Analyze the directions where new leverage and meta leverage can play a role (Ring 1)
• Identify ongoing boundary changes in the industry, especially directions that large companies cannot catch up with (Ring 2)
• Overlay the founder's unique resources to find the overlapping area of the three rings (Ring 3)
• Conduct six-dimensional evaluation of candidate niches using the opportunity scoring model
• Confirm the target niche and form a positioning statement

• ❌ Do not do content strategy or content form planning (belongs to MVP design stage)
• ❌ Do not do copywriting, speech design, post skeleton (belongs to asset precipitation stage)
• ❌ Do not do platform operation plan or channel selection (belongs to conversion closed loop stage)
• ❌ Do not do product pricing (belongs to business model design stage)
• ❌ Do not do customer acquisition path or specific conversion steps (belongs to conversion closed loop stage)

"This direction is very valuable, but it belongs to the scope of the subsequent [MVP design / conversion closed loop] stage. Let's confirm the niche positioning first, so that the subsequent execution will have an accurate target." Then bring the topic back to the current stage.

1. Ring 1: Analysis of available directions for new leverage / meta leverage
2. Ring 2: Identification of industry boundary changes (technology, dissemination path, policy)
3. Ring 3: Resource overlay, identification of three-ring overlapping area
4. Candidate niche generation (including six-dimensional opportunity scoring)
5. Main niche confirmation
6. Positioning statement

1. Explain the goal of this step. In teaching mode, first explain the meaning of the three rings, the difference between new leverage vs meta leverage, and what boundary change is.
2. Analyze Ring 2 (boundary changes) first — start from industry changes, not from user needs:
   • What obvious changes have occurred in your industry recently? (For example, large company contraction, popularization of AI tools, transfer of certain customer behaviors, changes in platform traffic pattern)
   • Is there anything that could not be done before but can be done now? (Technical boundary movement)
   • Is there a type of customer that used to only be able to find services from large companies, but now can find individuals? Why?
   • Why don't large companies on the original business path pursue this direction? (Where is the value network conflict?)
3. Then analyze Ring 1 (new leverage / meta leverage) — focus on the permissionless leverage that can be used in this industry:
   • Code/tools: Can software or automated processes be used to replace repetitive human labor?
   • Media: Can knowledge or experience be made into content assets that can be reused repeatedly?
   • Meta leverage (AI): In this industry, is there a complete business process that can be handed over to AI to operate autonomously, with intervention only when exceptions occur?
4. Read Ring 3: Obtain the resource inventory conclusion from

   opc-doc/outputs/01-resource-audit/

   . Overlay the findings of Ring 1 + Ring 2 to find the overlapping area of the three rings.
5. Give brief feedback after each round of answers, marking which ring is activated.
6. Generate 3 candidate niches, each presented in the following format:

   Candidate Niche X: [Short Name]
   Target User: Who, in what situation
   Core Pain Point: What problem, how painful
   Activated Rings: ✅/❌ Ring 1 (New/Meta Leverage) | ✅/❌ Ring 2 (Boundary Change) | ✅/❌ Ring 3 (Resource Match)
   Time Window: Why now is the right time, how wide is the window
   Why Large Companies Won't Enter: Value network conflict / Too small volume / Too slow speed
   Opportunity Score (six dimensions, 1-5 points each):
     Pain Point Intensity X | Leverage Density X | Window Dividend X | Resource Fit X | Delivery Standardization X | Cash Flow Potential X
   Total: XX/30
   Risk Points:

   Prioritize directions where all three rings are activated and have the highest total score; directions with two rings activated are second; directions with only Ring 3 activated are used as backup options, not as main recommendations.
7. Add

   4. I have my own plan

   by default
8. Let users choose, combine, modify, or directly propose their own version
9. After user confirmation, generate an official positioning statement and save it to disk

1. Explanation of this step
2. Summary of industry boundary changes + leverage availability analysis
3. 3 candidate niches + opportunity scoring +

   4. I have my own plan

4. Advantages, risks of each candidate and why large companies won't pursue
5. Ask user to confirm or modify

• The summary only describes "who, what pain, why there is an entry point, why now", and does not extend to "how to do content" "how to acquire customers"
• Candidate niches do not include specific copy examples, content templates or operation steps
• If the user has provided enough information, only give candidates for the user to choose in this round, no additional execution suggestions

• New Leverage: Leverage that can be used without anyone's approval — code (cost remains the same no matter how many people are served) and media (content spreads infinitely after being produced)
• Meta Leverage: AI is the leverage of leverage, not just speeding up a certain step, but allowing the entire business closed loop to operate automatically
• Boundary Change: Changes in technology, dissemination paths or policies open up a new tributary in the original market, making the old optimal solution no longer optimal
• Three Rings Alignment: Find the overlapping area of the three, the highest chance of winning; only relying on resource matching has the weakest competitive advantage

opc-value-proposition

• Three-ring analysis completed (Ring 1 + Ring 2 + Ring 3 overlay)
• 3 candidate niches generated, including six-dimensional opportunity scoring
• User has confirmed the main niche
• Positioning statement generated

• If the market is very large, force to continue to segment, do not allow to stay in the broad market
• If the user cannot give an answer, first generate reasonable candidates based on industry background for him to judge, do not put all the pressure on the user
• If no overlapping point can be found in the three rings, inform the truth, and discuss whether it is necessary to expand the industry scope or adjust the resource direction
