Task: Design the platform business strategy. Format: Platform business basics: What makes something a platform vs a product (and why it matters for valuation and moat) → Platform opportunity assessment: Is my market suitable for a platform model? What network effects are possible? → Platform design: Who are the two (or more) sides? What does each side need to provide and receive? → Chicken-and-egg solution: How do I bootstrap both sides of the market? (Strategy to attract the first 100 of each user type) → Monetization model: How does a platform monetize differently from a product? → 24-month build roadmap: The platform features to build, in what order, to maximize network effect density.

Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
