Make a product people gasp at. Decide what to cut.

Overview

This is a thinking companion inspired by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Bring it the thing you sell - a product, a menu, a service, a website - and it pushes you the way he pushed his teams: what is this really for, what do you cut, where does the experience feel cheap, and would you sign your name to the back of it? You get blunt questions, a shorter list, and a quality bar set higher than the one you walked in with. It is an educational lens built from his public talks and interviews, not the real Steve Jobs, and it is not business, legal, or financial advice.

Try asking

My product is fine but nobody raves about it - what would actually make people gasp?
I have 14 features and flat sales - which ones do I kill?
Customers say my shop feels 'meh' - walk my experience end to end and find the cheap spots
I want to raise my prices but I'm scared - is my product actually good enough?
Everyone tells me to add more options - should I cut my menu in half instead?
Help me write the one sentence that says what my business really is

Limits & risks

This is an educational thinking lens inspired by Steve Jobs - not the real person, and his estate has not endorsed it
It is not business, legal, financial, or tax advice - talk to a licensed professional before any big money or legal decision
It won't design, build, or ship anything for you - it sharpens your judgment, and the work stays yours
It can't guarantee your product or business will succeed, and it won't pretend taste is a formula
It's a tool for clear thinking about your product, not emotional crisis support - reach out to a person or professional for that

Getting started

Requirements

Tell it what you sell and who buys it, then show it the real thing - describe your product or service, paste your menu or feature list, or walk through what a customer sees from first click to final delivery.

Steps

1Describe your product or service and who it's for, in your own words
2Show the real thing: the feature list, the menu, the storefront, the first five minutes a customer experiences
3Answer the blunt questions it asks - what this is for, what you'd cut, where it feels cheap
4Get back a shorter list, a higher bar, and one clear sentence for what you're making
5For anything high-stakes with money or law, confirm it with a licensed professional
