Get help with a pricing decisionscenario · built in

Claude should walk through a concrete pricing review process: how to calculate current cost coverage, how to benchmark against local competitors, and how to set a new price that covers costs with a reasonable margin. It should also draft or outline a short, honest message to send to customers about the increase. It should not invent market rates — it should explain what data the owner needs to gather.

Write a response to a negative customer reviewscenario · built in

Claude should draft a public review response that acknowledges the delivery delay and the communication failure, expresses genuine concern without being dismissive, and offers a concrete next step — such as inviting the customer to contact the business directly to resolve it. The tone should be calm, professional, and not argue with the customer's account.

Plan a low-budget local marketing effortscenario · built in

Claude should produce a prioritized list of specific, low-cost marketing actions relevant to a local retail bakery. Each suggestion should include what to do, how long it takes to set up, and what result to expect. It should start with free or near-free options (Google Business Profile, social media, partnerships) before suggesting anything that uses the $200 budget.
