How the writer works

1. You answer twelve questions: what you sell, to whom, prices, volumes, costs, funding, team, competitors, what you know about the market.
2. The plan is written only from those answers. Where you have no figure, it tells you what to look up and where, instead of inventing one.
3. You get the full plan and a one-page executive summary as Word and PDF, plus the assumptions it made and the numbers to verify.
