When This Skill Activates

Writing product pitches

Core Frameworks

1. Strategic Narrative Structure (Source: Andy Raskin)

Five-Act Structure:

Old World - How things used to be
Insight - What changed (why now?)
New World - What's now possible
Stakes - Win big or lose
Your Role - How you help them win

Example:

# Pitch: [Product]

## Act 1: Old World
"For years, teams coordinated through email..."

## Act 2: Insight
"But remote work changed everything. What worked in office doesn't work distributed."

## Act 3: New World
"Now, the best teams coordinate in real-time, asynchronously..."

## Act 4: Stakes
"Companies that figure this out will attract best talent and move faster. Those that don't will lose to competitors."

## Act 5: Your Role
"That's where [Product] comes in. We help teams..."

Key Quotes

Andy Raskin:
