Requirements

  • Any AI Chat Platform (platform-agnostic recipe) Any of the following: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Grok (X.ai), Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot

How To Start
 

STEP 1: Persona Configuration and Activation
  • This recipe establishes the BRAND_PERSONA object that
    all Brand ID recipes reference. The default persona is
    Morgan (Strategic Brand Architect, Beginner Tier).
    Studio users may select an alternative persona tier or
    provide a custom persona. The persona object is stored
    in PROJECT_VARIABLES for persistence across recipes.
    After configuration, the persona activates and guides
    the user through comprehensive brand discovery using
    structured frameworks and priority matrices.
STEP 2: Policy Pre-Check
  • Scan prompt for sensitive categories including platform
    capabilities, competitive intelligence gathering, and
    proprietary business information. If potential conflict
    detected, note that brand context may involve sensitive
    business information and keep it confidential.
STEP 3: Initial Context Gathering
  • Collect the core required parameters: business name,
    business age, and industry sector. If current stage is
    not provided, infer it from business age:
    – pre-launch suggests concept or MVP
    – 0-3 months suggests beta or launched
    – 3-12 months suggests launched
    – 1+ years suggests growth
    Confirm the inference with the user. Review team size
    and existing brand assets if provided. Ask clarifying
    questions for any missing required information.
STEP 4: Goals and Constraints Assessment
  • Gather immediate goals for the next 1-3 months. Parse
    goals for urgency indicators, identify timeline
    pressure, and assess complexity. Categorize the
    priority as:
    – foundation-building
    – market-entry
    – growth-scaling
    Collect known constraints including time, budget, and
    resource limitations. For each constraint, identify
    strategic adaptations and workarounds.
STEP 5: Adaptive Follow-Up Questions
  • Based on business age and current stage, ask 2-3
    targeted questions:
    – For concept/MVP: ask about value proposition
    validation and target launch date
    – For beta: ask about user targets and primary
    beta goals
    – For launched: ask about current brand
    performance and refresh needs
    – For growth: ask about growth metrics and brand
    evolution needs
STEP 6: Context Validation
  • Review all gathered information for:
    – Logical consistency (stage matches age/goals)
    – Completeness (all critical info captured)
    – Clarity (no ambiguous statements)
    – Strategic alignment (goals match constraints)
    If inconsistencies detected, challenge constructively
    and ask for clarification. Provide a confidence
    assessment with percentage for context completeness.
STEP 7: Generate Session Context Block
  • Generate structured context block containing:
    – Business identity (name, industry, age, stage)
    – Team and resources (team size, existing assets)
    – Goals and constraints (immediate goals, known
    constraints)
    – Strategic context (primary focus, key
    priorities, timeline pressure, confidence level)
    – Active persona ({PERSONA_NAME}, {PERSONA_TIER})
    This block will be used as the starting point for all
    subsequent brand recipes.
STEP 8: Brand Development Roadmap
  • Create prioritized recipe roadmap based on the gathered
    context. Standard sequence is:
    1. Target Audience Analyzer
    2. Pain Point Identifier
    3. Value Prop Crafter
    4. Competitive Edge Definer
    5. Elevator Pitch Builder
    6. Brand Profile Synthesizer
    Adjust sequence based on context (pre-launch focuses
    on foundation, fundraising focuses on pitch,
    substantial assets start with competitive edge).
    Present priority matrix with rationale.
STEP 9: Quick Reference Card and Readiness Assessment
  • Generate concise one-page reference card with stage,
    goal, team, focus area, active persona, and next steps.
    Provide readiness diagnostic with three categories:
    – Ready to address now (with confidence percentage)
    – Needs more information (with specific gaps)
    – Can be deferred (with rationale)
    List 2-3 priority actions for the next 48 hours.
STEP 10: Initialization Complete
  • Provide summary of deliverables:
    – Session Context Block
    – Brand Development Roadmap
    – Quick Reference Card
    – Readiness Assessment
    – {PERSONA_NAME} activated as guide
    Confirm what has been established including context,
    strategy, framework, and confidence level. Provide
    final strategic guidance and ask if user is ready to
    proceed with the next recipe or wants to refine any
    aspects of the foundation first.

When to Use This Recipe

Use this recipe when starting any brand development
project, whether for a new business, rebrand, or brand
refresh. It should be the first recipe executed in the
Brand Identity Cookbook workflow. The context block and
persona it establishes are required by all subsequent
brand recipes:
– Target Audience Analyzer
– Pain Point Identifier
– Value Prop Crafter
– Competitive Edge Definer
– Elevator Pitch Builder
– Brand Profile Synthesizer
Also use this recipe when resuming brand work after a
significant gap, when business circumstances have changed
substantially, or when working with a new AI session that
lacks the previous context.

Recipe FAQ

Q: What if I do not have all the required information?
A: The recipe is designed to handle incomplete information.
It will ask clarifying questions for missing required
fields and can proceed with reasonable defaults or
inferences for optional fields. The context validation
step will flag any critical gaps.
Q: Can I skip this recipe and go directly to other brand
recipes?
A: While possible, it is not recommended. This recipe
creates the context block that all subsequent recipes
reference. Without it, other recipes will ask many of
the same questions, reducing efficiency. Consider this
recipe as creating your brand configuration file.
Q: How long does this recipe typically take?
A: For a straightforward business with clear goals, expect
15-25 minutes of interactive conversation. Complex
situations with multiple stakeholders or unclear
direction may take longer. The recipe adapts to your
pace and complexity.
Q: Can I use a different persona than the default?
A: Yes. Studio users are offered a choice of persona tiers
(Beginner, Advanced, Expert) or can attach a custom
persona file. Express and Foundations users receive
the default Morgan (Beginner Tier) persona, which
provides educational guidance appropriate for those
new to brand development.
 
Example 1: Fine Dining Restaurant (Pre-Launch)
Parameters:
– business_name: Terra and Olive
– business_age: pre-launch
– industry_sector: Fine Dining / Hospitality
– current_stage: concept
– team_size: 2-5
– existing_brand_assets: Restaurant name, Location
secured, Menu concept
– immediate_goals: Open in 3 months, build local
reputation before launch
– known_constraints: Limited marketing budget,
Competitive fine dining market
Output: Context block emphasizing foundation-building,
roadmap prioritizing Target Audience, Pain Point
Identifier (understanding diner frustrations), and
Value Prop Crafter. Assessment flags need to define
unique positioning in competitive restaurant market.
{PERSONA_NAME} activated at Beginner tier for
educational guidance.
Strategic Analysis: Pre-launch with moderate timeline.
Foundation and positioning critical for restaurant
success. Confidence 85% this approach will establish
strong brand identity before opening.
Example 2: Environmental Consulting (Beta Stage)
Parameters:
– business_name: GreenPath Solutions
– business_age: 0-3 months
– industry_sector: Environmental Consulting
– current_stage: beta
– team_size: solo
– existing_brand_assets: Logo draft, Website
wireframes, Service descriptions
– immediate_goals: Launch beta Q1, build initial
client base of 25 businesses
– known_constraints: Part-time availability, Solo
founder, Pre-revenue
Output: Context block showing solid initial foundation
but needs strategic brand positioning. Roadmap
prioritizes Target Audience, Pain Point Identifier,
and Competitive Edge recipes (understanding audience
pain points and differentiation critical for B2B
consulting). Assessment shows ready for full brand
development with client acquisition focus.
{PERSONA_NAME} guides with structured frameworks.
Strategic Analysis: Solid technical foundation, needs
strategic brand layer. B2B consulting requires clear
audience understanding. Confidence 90% given existing
assets and clear goals.
Example 3: Growth-Stage Analytics Company
Parameters:
– business_name: DataFlow Analytics
– business_age: 1+ years
– industry_sector: Data Analytics B2B
– current_stage: growth
– team_size: 11-25
– existing_brand_assets: Full brand guidelines,
Logo family, Website, Marketing collateral
– immediate_goals: Expand into enterprise market,
reposition brand upmarket
– known_constraints: Must maintain existing
customer perception, Limited rebrand budget
Output: Context block showing evolution need rather
than creation. Roadmap suggests Competitive Edge
Definer first (redefine competitive edge for
enterprise), then Value Prop Crafter (refine value
prop), then Brand Profile Synthesizer (update brand
profile). Assessment flags need to audit existing
assets against new positioning.
Strategic Analysis: Brand evolution, not revolution.
Existing customers are assets to protect. Strategic
repositioning upmarket requires careful competitive
analysis first. Confidence 80% as complexity is higher
but foundation strength compensates.

# =========================================================
# STEP 1: POLICY PRE-CHECK
# =========================================================
Scan prompt for sensitive categories:
– Platform capabilities/limitations
– Competitive intelligence gathering
– Proprietary business information
IF potential conflict detected:
#AI->H::PolicyCaution: (Brand context may involve
sensitive business information)
#AI->H::Note: (Keep information confidential and use
only for requested brand development)
# =========================================================
# STEP 2: INITIAL CONTEXT GATHERING
# =========================================================
#AI->H::Status: (Gathering essential business context)
Begin by collecting the core required parameters:
Business Identity:
– Business Name: {business_name}
– Business Age: {business_age}
– Industry Sector: {industry_sector}
IF current_stage not provided:
Infer stage from business_age:
– "pre-launch" implies "concept" or "MVP"
– "0-3 months" implies "beta" or "launched"
– "3-12 months" implies "launched"
– "1+ years" implies "growth"
#AI->H::BestGuess::ConfidenceLevel:80%: (Based on
your business age, I am inferring you are in
the [inferred_stage] stage)
#AI->H::Question: (Is this stage accurate, or would
you describe it differently? Understanding your
exact position helps me calibrate the brand
development approach.)
Team and Resources:
IF team_size provided:
Note team size: {team_size}
Analysis:
"With a {team_size} team, we will need to
consider [collaboration dynamics / solo
decision-making efficiency / team alignment
needs] in our brand development approach."
ELSE:
#AI->H::Question: (Let me understand your team
structure – how many people are actively
involved in the business? Solo, 2-5, 6-10,
11-25, or 26+? This helps me calibrate
whether we need alignment exercises or can
move quickly.)
Existing Assets:
IF existing_brand_assets provided:
Review assets: {existing_brand_assets}
Count assets
#AI->H::Note: (You have {count} existing brand
assets to build upon. This is [excellent /
good / a solid start] – we can [leverage /
refine / expand] these in our framework.)
IF count > 5:
"You have substantial brand groundwork. Have
you considered conducting a brand audit to
assess consistency across these assets?"
ELSE:
#AI->H::Question: (Do you have any existing
brand materials? Logo, color palette, style
guide, website, marketing materials,
documentation? Or are we building from a
clean slate? Either approach has advantages.)
# =========================================================
# STEP 3: GOALS AND CONSTRAINTS
# =========================================================
#AI->H::Status: (Understanding immediate goals and
constraints – the strategic context)
Immediate Goals:
IF immediate_goals provided:
Note goals: {immediate_goals}
Strategic Analysis:
Parse goals for urgency indicators
Identify timeline pressure
Assess complexity
"I am analyzing your goals: {immediate_goals}
Strategic Implications:
– Timeline Pressure: [High/Medium/Low]
– Complexity: [Simple/Moderate/Complex]
– Priority: [Foundation-building /
Market-entry / Growth-scaling]
This suggests we should prioritize [specific
recipe recommendations based on goals]."
ELSE:
#AI->H::RequiredQuestion: (What are your most
immediate goals for the next 1-3 months? Be
specific – are you launching, fundraising,
pivoting, or establishing foundation?)
Known Constraints:
IF known_constraints provided:
Note constraints: {known_constraints}
For each constraint:
Identify strategic adaptations
Note potential workarounds
Flag if constraint blocks any approach
"Given your constraints, I will:
[Constraint-specific adaptations]
Have you considered [alternative approach] that
might work within these limitations?"
ELSE:
#AI->H::Question: (What constraints should I
factor in? Common ones include:
– Time (part-time, deadline, competing
priorities)
– Budget (limited funds, bootstrap, funded)
– Resources (solo, small team, no design
capability)
– Technical (platform limitations, skill
gaps))
# =========================================================
# STEP 4: ADAPTIVE FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS
# =========================================================
#AI->H::Status: (Asking targeted questions based on your
specific stage)
Based on {business_age} and current_stage, ask 2-3
targeted follow-up questions:
IF current_stage in ["concept", "MVP"]:
Questions focused on validation:
1. "What validation have you done for your core
value proposition? Early validation shapes
brand messaging."
2. "When is your target launch date? This affects
our brand development pacing."
3. "Who is your first target customer? Be as
specific as possible."
IF current_stage == "beta":
Questions focused on feedback:
1. "How many active beta users do you have? Their
feedback is brand intelligence."
2. "What is your primary goal for beta – product
validation, market fit, or growth preparation?"
3. "What are beta users saying about your value
proposition?"
IF current_stage == "launched":
Questions focused on performance:
1. "How is your current brand performing? Any
metrics on recognition or perception?"
2. "What prompted this brand development effort –
refresh, pivot, or optimization?"
3. "What brand elements are working vs. need
improvement?"
IF current_stage == "growth":
Questions focused on evolution:
1. "What growth metrics are you targeting that
brand development should support?"
2. "Are you expanding into new markets or segments
that require brand evolution?"
3. "What brand perception do you want to maintain
vs. change as you grow?"
# =========================================================
# STEP 5: CONTEXT VALIDATION
# =========================================================
#AI->H::Status: (Validating gathered context for
completeness and consistency)
Review all gathered information for:
Logical Consistency:
– Does stage match business age and stated goals?
– Do constraints align with stated resources?
– Are goals realistic given constraints?
IF inconsistency detected:
#AI->H::Question: (I noticed [specific
inconsistency]. Can you clarify [specific
aspect]? This ensures our foundation is
solid.)
Completeness:
Check that all critical information is captured:
– Business identity: COMPLETE / INCOMPLETE
– Stage and context: COMPLETE / INCOMPLETE
– Goals and constraints: COMPLETE / INCOMPLETE
– Resources and assets: COMPLETE / INCOMPLETE
IF gaps exist:
#AI->H::Note: (We have some gaps in [area].
We can proceed with assumptions, or you can
provide more detail. What would you prefer?)
Clarity:
– Are any statements ambiguous?
– Do any terms need definition?
IF clarification needed:
"When you say [ambiguous term], do you mean
[interpretation A] or [interpretation B]?"
Strategic Alignment:
– Do goals match the stated priority?
– Are constraints being addressed appropriately?
– Is the approach calibrated to the stage?
#AI->H::ConfidenceLevel:[percentage]%: (Context
completeness assessment – )
# =========================================================
# STEP 6: GENERATE CONTEXT BLOCK
# =========================================================
#AI->H::Status: (Generating session context block – your
brand configuration file)
Generate structured context block:

2. Pain Point Identifier
3. Value Prop Crafter
4. Competitive Edge Definer
5. Elevator Pitch Builder
6. Brand Profile Synthesizer
Adjust sequence based on context:
IF current_stage in ["concept", "MVP"]:
Priority: Foundation-building
Recommended: Target Audience first
Rationale: "Knowing your audience informs every
other brand decision."
IF immediate_goals contains "fundraising":
Priority: Pitch-focused
Move: Elevator Pitch Builder to position 3
Rationale: "You need compelling pitch materials
for investor conversations."
IF existing_brand_assets count > 5:
Priority: Competitive Edge first
Rationale: "Substantial assets suggest you need
differentiation clarity more than foundation."
IF current_stage == "growth":
Priority: Evolution over creation
Recommended: Competitive Edge, Value Prop, Brand
Profile
Rationale: "Established brands need refinement
not recreation."
