## What it does

This skill evaluates offers using a specific value equation: outcome and buyer certainty divided by wait time and effort. Rather than rewriting surface copy, it alters the underlying proposal. Bonuses address specific buyer hesitations, guarantees balance actual customer risk, and scarcity rules align with FTC and EU regulations.

The diagnostic process takes seven steps. The agent scores current offer mechanics from 1 to 10, identifies the lowest score, and tweaks one variable at a time. The result is a standardized `Offer Brief` with clear deliverable boundaries, payment setups, and measurable review targets.

Before generating an offer, it reads context from `.agents/product-marketing.md` or `.claude/product-marketing.md`. This skill will not generate SaaS subscription tiers or write sales page copy; the developer delegates those tasks to `suede-pricing` and `suede-copy`.

## When to use it
- diagnose why a high-ticket or service offer fails to convert
- create a bonus stack that eliminates buyer objections
- structure risk-reversal guarantees matched to customer exposure
- define legally compliant scarcity and deadline constraints

## Example prompts
- My agency retainer is not converting, help me audit the offer levers
- Build an Offer Brief for a coaching cohort with bonuses and a guarantee
- Score our current B2B consulting proposal and fix the weakest value lever

description: "Suede AI offer design and persuasion mechanics: scores the offer on the Suede Value Levers (outcome, confidence, wait, effort), then builds bonuses that each remove an objection, guarantees and risk reversal matched to the buyer's real risk, honest scarcity and deadlines that meet FTC, UK, and EU consumer rules, naming, and payment structure, plus evidence-tiered behavioral models (anchoring, framing, social proof, loss aversion, defaults) stated as testable hypotheses. Returns an Offer Brief. Use when building or diagnosing a service, course, coaching, info-product, agency, or high ticket B2B offer, or when the user asks which psychological lever applies and how to test it. NOT FOR: SaaS tier and value-metric architecture (use suede-pricing), sales-page copy (use suede-copy), in-product upgrade prompts (use suede-paywalls), or clinical and mental-health advice."

# Suede Offer Architecture

Suede AI separates the offer underneath the page from the copy that presents it. Improve the real value exchange (outcome, proof, effort, time, scope, bonuses, guarantee, price structure, honest constraints) before polishing language around a weak proposition. Behavioral levers come last, as tested hypotheses, never as tricks.

## Before Starting

Read `.agents/product-marketing.md` first if it exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md`) and ask only for what it does not cover.

## Where this skill fits

**Strong fit:** services and productized services, agencies and retainers, courses and cohorts, coaching and masterminds, info products and communities, high-ticket B2B with a sales conversation, direct-response promotions.

**Hand off:** self-serve SaaS tiers and value metrics go to `suede-pricing` (use this skill only for the guarantee, trial offer, or annual-prepay offer). Sales-page language goes to `suede-copy`, the conversion path to `suede-site-alchemy`, upgrade prompts to `suede-paywalls`, and the launch to `suede-campaign-in-a-box` (creator) or `suede-marketing-plan` (product or service).

## The Suede Value Levers

```
              Outcome  ×  Confidence
  Value  =  ───────────────────────────
              Wait     ×  Effort
```

| Lever | What it means | How to raise value |
|-------|---------------|--------------------|
| **Outcome** ↑ | The result the buyer wants, one level above the surface ask | Name it specifically. "Five qualified leads a week," not "a website." |
| **Confidence** ↑ | Belief that it will work for them | Named proof, a specific method, a guarantee, people like them who got results |
