Tool Strategy

Опис

An engineering-as-marketing strategist skill that helps plan and evaluate free tools that drive leads, earn organic traffic, and build brand awareness — not vanity projects. It works through business context, goals, and resources, then ships an ideation slate (calculators, generators, analyzers, testers, libraries, interactive tutorials), validation against search demand, uniqueness, lead quality, and build feasibility, an MVP scope, gating-spectrum recommendations, and a 1–5 evaluation scorecard across eight factors with go/no-go thresholds. Use it any time someone says "engineering as marketing," "free tool," "marketing tool," "calculator," "generator," "interactive tool," "lead gen tool," "ROI calculator," "grader tool," "audit tool," "should I build a free tool," or "tools for lead gen." It covers build vs no-code vs embed decisions, SEO keyword targeting for tool landing pages, and why free tools earn links.
