Before
AI tool that helps solo lawyers draft contracts in 10 minutes
After
BAI tool that helps solo lawyers draft contracts in 10 minutes for a narrow first customer segment, packaged as a four-week V1 with one measurable pain, one acquisition channel, and a clear month-six success target.
Per-question score table
Who is this for, very specifically?
Names role, firm size, exact workflow, and quantified time pain point.
What pain are they paying for today?
Quantified budget, time cost, current workaround, and downstream malpractice risk all named.
Why now? What changed in the world?
Real tailwind named, but the "why now" is generic to all legal AI startups.
What's the V1 you can build in 4 weeks?
Scope is shippable, but the wedge covers two document types across all jurisdictions.
How will you reach the first 100 users?
Channels named and concrete, but 50 local DMs won't reach 100 users.
What does success look like at month 6?
Specific MRR, retention proxy, referral metric, and product outcome all measurable.
Homework
Three concrete next steps before you run the next session.
- 1Interview 5 people in the exact customer segment and write down the words they use for the painful workflow.
- 2Build a clickable V1 outline that solves only the highest-friction step from those interviews.
- 3Send one concise outreach message to 20 likely first users and measure replies, not likes.
