Atlas User’s Manual
Getting the Most Out of Atlas
1. Be specific
Include details like your business model, goals, stage, dates, and constraints. The more context, the more tailored the answer.
2. Ask follow-up questions
Good consulting happens through back-and-forth. Use follow-ups to dig deeper, stress test answers, or explore alternatives.
3. Add real numbers when you can
Having more information and metrics help generate sharper insight. Even rough figures help.
4. Focus on what you want to achieve
Ask questions around your objective. Examples: grow revenue, reduce burn, raise capital, improve retention.
5. Break big problems into steps
If the issue is broad, ask one part at a time. This leads to clearer, more actionable responses.
6. Use it to simulate decisions
Test strategies by asking “what if” questions. Use it to explore trade-offs before committing.
7. Ask for clarification
If a response is vague or generic, ask for an example, a clearer breakdown, or a specific recommendation.
8. Treat it like a strategist
Ask it to help with frameworks, decisions, planning, analysis, risk, prioritisation, or messaging.
9. Use it consistently
The more you use it, the more value you get. Use it weekly to plan, review, explore ideas, and make decisions.
10. Example prompts to start
– “We're a small online retailer selling handmade jewellery. Our business growth has been going well but we want to expand further and faster, what are some strategies and tools we can use to take us to the next level?”
– “Our sales are flat. What's one thing we can change about how we talk to customers that might help us sell more? We mainly sell to other local businesses.”
– “Our marketing budget is tight. What are some low-cost ways we can get the word out about our business?”
