Sun Tzu model βοΈ
π§ Overviewβ
The Sun Tzu AI Model applies ancient war strategy principles from The Art of War to business decision-making.
It helps identify competitive threats, deception tactics, and strategic misalignments to optimize positioning and long-term advantage.
π‘οΈ This model is for business leaders, startup founders, and competitive strategists who want to think several steps ahead of their competitors.
π How It Worksβ
1οΈβ£ Select Your Project & Departmentβ
To enhance the precision of your strategic analysis, you can assign a project and department when using the Sun Tzu model.
This allows the AI to generate targeted insights based on the specific team and initiative youβre working on.
- Project: Choose the relevant project for which youβre making strategic decisions.
- Department: Assign the analysis to a specific team (e.g., Marketing, Operations, Finance) for a context-driven strategy breakdown.
2οΈβ£ Submit Your Business Decisionβ
Input a strategic business move, market expansion plan, or competitive challenge.
The AI will assess vulnerabilities, identify hidden threats, and suggest asymmetric strategies.
For example:
"I want to expand my startup into new markets with a $500K budget."
3οΈβ£ AI Generates Strategic Warfare Questionsβ
The AI challenges your strategy with 10 targeted questions across 5 key areas:
βοΈ Positioning & Strategic Terrainβ
- What dominant forces (competitors, market trends) control this space, and where are they weakest?
- How can you position yourself where they least expect you?
π΅οΈ Deception & Psychological Tacticsβ
- How can you create a perception of strength to discourage competition from responding?
- What signals can you send to confuse competitors while executing your true plan?
β‘ Speed & Adaptabilityβ
- If a market shift happens tomorrow, how quickly can you pivot?
- What pre-emptive moves can you take to prevent being outmaneuvered?
π Resource Control & Leverageβ
- How can you secure exclusive access to a critical resource before competitors?
- Where are you vulnerable to a supply chain or market bottleneck?
π― Offensive & Defensive Strategyβ
- If your competitor attacks your market position, what is your immediate counter-strategy?
- What weaknesses in your own plan could be exploited by a more aggressive rival?
β οΈ Note: These are just examples. The AI generates customized questions based on your unique business situation.
4οΈβ£ AI Evaluates & Strengthens Your Strategyβ
After you answer the questions, the AI analyzes your competitive positioning and provides a structured breakdown of strengths, weaknesses, and hidden threats.
π Example Analysis Outputβ
