Captain Old Wang's Three-Section Staff Positioning Method

What Problem It Solves

Personal IP or team positioning is often reduced to content topics, persona packaging, and account operations. This skill replaces that loose checklist with a tighter framework built around three linked dimensions: work, appearance, and soul. It helps you turn a vague identity into a testable one-line statement, useful for self-positioning, client consulting, team labels, or rebranding. It is not a business plan generator.

How It Works

You can start with a prompt such as help me run a three-section staff positioning analysis or provide structured background information. The skill then walks through three checks:

• Work: craft, signature skill, method system, differentiating value, and one-line positioning. The key question is whether people would pay for what you actually do.
• Appearance: visual identity, style, memorable symbol, nickname, catchphrase, and signature action. The key question is whether people can recognize you within seconds.
• Soul: bottom lines, motivation, destination, and emotional resonance. The key question is whether trust can survive outside a single platform or campaign.

It outputs a one-page positioning report, a positioning statement, visual cue suggestions, content angles, and a persona risk checklist. The core constraint is interconnection: work, appearance, and soul must reinforce each other instead of existing as isolated assets.

Boundaries and Caveats

This skill is best for IP positioning, advisory framing, and early brand expression. It does not replace market research, competitor analysis, financial modeling, or platform-level growth diagnosis. If the input is thin, the output should be treated as a guided hypothesis rather than a factual conclusion. For B2B teams, complex product lines, or established brands, add customer evidence, business scope, and competitive differentiation before applying the framework.
