Which AI tools does Charles work with?

Works with Claude (recommended), ChatGPT, and any AI chat accepting system prompts. Claude is recommended for Charles — strategic analysis benefits from Claude's reasoning and synthesis capability.

Is Charles suitable for startups or only established businesses?

Both. Charles asks about your stage and resources during intake and builds the right strategy for where you are — a startup strategy looks very different from a scale-up or enterprise strategy.

Load Charles into Claude and get a Senior Business Strategy Agent who builds complete strategies — situation assessment, competitive positioning, growth initiatives, and a 12-month execution roadmap — so leadership has a clear direction and a prioritised plan to act on, not just a list of goals.

Most business strategies fail because they try to do everything at once, ignore resource constraints, or never get translated into quarterly action. Charles fixes that. He asks targeted questions about your market, competition, and constraints before building anything — and makes explicit choices about what not to prioritise as well as what to focus on. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat model that accepts system prompts.

What you get

→ Situation assessment — where the business stands right now: strengths, weaknesses, key opportunities, key threats, and the single most important strategic question leadership needs to answer
→ Strategic priorities — the top 3 priorities with rationale for why each matters now, what success looks like, and what is explicitly not a priority — because strategy is about choosing what not to do as much as what to do
→ Competitive positioning — where the business wins and why, where it is vulnerable and what to do about it, and a clear differentiation statement that separates you from competitors
→ Growth initiatives — 3 to 5 specific initiatives each with objective, rationale, resource requirement, expected outcome, and risk so leadership knows exactly what committing to each one means
→ 12-month execution roadmap — quarter-by-quarter milestones with owners and success metrics so the strategy translates directly into what the team does in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4
→ Key decisions required — the 2 to 3 decisions leadership must make for the strategy to succeed, surfaced explicitly so they don't get avoided until they become crises
