Focus on Specific Area:
"What are the top 5 technology-related problems they're facing?"
Adjust Categorization:
"Problem #8 seems more like a Fear than a Goal. Can you reclassify it?"
---
🔄 CONVERTING TO JSON
STEP 5: Request JSON Conversion
Once you're satisfied with the analysis, use this prompt:
Convert this analysis into JSON format for import using the structure in your instructions. Include all 20+ problems with complete details.
The GPT will output a properly formatted JSON file like this:
{
"context": {
"industry": "B2B SaaS - CRM",
"role": "VP of Sales"
},
"pinnedProblemId": null,
"problems": [
{
"id": "1730000000001abc",
"industry": "B2B SaaS - CRM",
"role": "VP of Sales",
"problemText": "Struggling to scale sales team without sacrificing deal quality",
"type": "pain",
"priority": 1,
"status": "not_started",
"urgent": true,
"measurable": true,
"color": "#e74c3c",
"themeTags": ["sales", "scaling", "hiring", "quality"],
"notes": "Impact: 30% slower revenue growth, $500K+ in missed quota. Timeline: Critical - next 3 months (Q1 hiring push)",
"links": [],
"contentIdeas": [
{"kind": "hook", "text": "Your sales team is growing, but your win rate is shrinking. Sound familiar?"},
{"kind": "question", "text": "What's the cost of adding 10 reps who only hit 60% of quota?"},
{"kind": "solution", "text": "Implement structured sales enablement framework"},
{"kind": "quote", "text": "We're hiring fast but our new reps aren't ramping like they used to"}
]
}
]
}
STEP 6: Copy the JSON
1. The GPT will output the JSON in a code block
2. Click the "Copy" button in the code block
3. Save it to a file (e.g., client-problems.json) or keep it in your clipboard
Pro Tip: If the output is too long, ask:
"Split this into 2 JSON files - problems 1-10 in the first file, 11-20 in the second"
---
📥 IMPORTING INTO YOUR LANDING PAGE
STEP 7: Import to Your Tool
1. Open your Problem Discovery landing page (the HTML file)
2. Click the "Import JSON" button in the top right
3. Paste your JSON into the textarea

💡 BEST PRACTICES
For Better Analysis Results:
1. Provide Context: The more information you give, the better the analysis
• Company size, stage, recent changes
• Industry challenges or trends
• Their role and responsibilities
• Any known initiatives or goals
2. Use Real Profiles: Actual LinkedIn profiles yield much better insights than generic company info
3. Be Specific About Industry: "B2B SaaS - Sales Engagement Tools" is better than "Software"
4. Include Recent Activity: Mention recent posts, comments, or content they've engaged with
5. Ask for Iterations: Don't settle for the first output - refine it!
For Better JSON Conversion:
1. Review First: Check the analysis before converting to make sure problems are well-defined
2. Test Small Batches: If you have 30+ problems, convert in batches of 10-15 to avoid errors
4. Keep Backups: Export your current data before importing new JSON
---
⚙️ ADVANCED USAGE
Analyzing Multiple Clients:
Batch Analysis:
I have 3 ideal client profiles to analyze:
1. [Client 1 info]
2. [Client 2 info]
3. [Client 3 info]
Please analyze each separately and provide 20 problems for each, then combine them into a single JSON file.
Industry-Specific Analysis:
Focus specifically on [INDUSTRY] challenges like:
• [Challenge 1]
• [Challenge 2]
• [Challenge 3]
Prioritize problems related to these areas.
Role-Specific Deep Dive:
This person is a [ROLE]. Focus on problems specific to their day-to-day responsibilities:
• [Responsibility 1]
• [Responsibility 2]
• [Responsibility 3]
---
🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue: "Not Enough Problems Generated"
Solution: Ask explicitly:
"Please generate at least 20 distinct problems. I currently only see [X] problems."
Issue: "JSON Import Failed"
Causes:
• Missing commas or brackets
• Unescaped quotes in text
• Invalid JSON structure
Solution:
1. Copy the JSON to jsonlint.com
2. Fix any syntax errors shown
3. Try importing again
Issue: "Problems Too Generic"
Solution: Provide more specific context:
"These problems are too broad. Please make them more specific to [ROLE] in [INDUSTRY] dealing with [SPECIFIC SITUATION]."
Issue: "Wrong Problem Type Classification"
Solution:
"Problem #5 should be classified as a [Pain/Goal/Dream/Fear] instead. Please reclassify and explain why."
Issue: "Hooks Aren't Compelling"
Solution:
"The hooks for problems 1-5 are too general. Make them more provocative and specific with data or shocking statistics."

Here is a simple, clear guide on how to use your Problem Discovery Tool, designed to be easy to follow.
Think of this tool as a digital box of index cards for collecting customer problems. That's it. You add cards, you organize them, and you can find them later.
🚀 Your 3-Minute Guide
1. How to Add a Problem Card
This is the main thing you'll do.
- Click the big blue + New Problem button.
- A pop-up box will appear.
- Fill in the Problem field. This is the most important part (e.g., "They struggle to get good leads," or "They hate tracking expenses").
- You can also add Theme Tags (like "leads" or "money") to group problems together.
- Click Save Problem.
Your new card will instantly appear on the main screen.
2. How to See and Find Your Cards
Now that you have cards, you can find them.
- Search: Just type any word (like "leads") into the Search... bar at the top. Your cards will instantly filter.
- Filter: Use the All Themes dropdown to see only cards with a specific tag you made.
- Sort: Use the Sort by... dropdown to see your most important problems first.
- Pin: Click the ☆ (star) on any card to make it a favorite. Then, check the Show Pinned First box to keep it at the top.
- See Details: If a card has extra notes, click Show Details on that card to expand it.
3. How to Save Your Work (Super Important!)
Your cards save in your browser. But to be safe or to move computers, you must export your work.
- Click Export JSON to download a backup file of all your cards.
- Click Import JSON to load that file back in later.
Warning: "Import" will replace any cards you have. Only use it to load a backup.
4. How to Start Over
- Click the red Reset All Data button.
- It will give you a warning asking if you're sure.
- If you click "OK," it will delete everything so you can start fresh.
✨ A Simple Workflow
Here is how you would use it day-to-day:
- You're on a call and you hear a problem.
- You click + New Problem.
- You type the problem in, add a tag like "sales," and set the Priority to "High."
- You click Save.
- Later, when you want to create content, you type "sales" into the search bar to see all the problems you've collected about that topic.
Here is a template to use with it for the problem discovery tool..
# JSON CONVERSION PROMPT
Convert the problem analysis output into JSON format for import. Use this exact structure:
```json
{
"context": {
"industry": "[Client's industry from analysis]",
"role": "[Client's role/title from analysis]"
},
"pinnedProblemId": null,
"problems": []
}
```
## For Each Problem, Create This Object:
```json
{
"id": "[Generate unique ID: timestamp + random string]",
"industry": "[Client's industry]",
"role": "[Client's role]",
"problemText": "[Problem statement]",
"type": "[pain|goal|dream|fear]",
"priority": [1 for Critical/High, 2 for Medium, 3 for Low],
"status": "not_started",
"urgent": [true if Critical/High urgency, false otherwise],
"measurable": [true if Quantifiable, false if Observable/Aspirational],
"color": "[Assign color: #e74c3c for pain, #2ecc71 for goal, #9b59b6 for dream, #f39c12 for fear]",
"themeTags": ["theme1", "theme2", "theme3"],
"notes": "[Impact details + Urgency timeline + any additional context]",
"links": [],
"contentIdeas": [
{"kind": "hook", "text": "[Hook 1]"},
{"kind": "hook", "text": "[Hook 2]"},
{"kind": "question", "text": "[Discovery Question 1]"},
{"kind": "question", "text": "[Discovery Question 2]"},
{"kind": "question", "text": "[Discovery Question 3]"},
{"kind": "solution", "text": "[Solution Direction 1]"},
{"kind": "solution", "text": "[Solution Direction 2]"},
{"kind": "quote", "text": "[Quote 1]"},
{"kind": "quote", "text": "[Quote 2]"}
]
}
```
## Conversion Rules:
1. **Generate unique IDs**: Use format `"${Date.now()}${Math.random().toString(36).slice(2)}"`
2. **Type mapping**: Use exact problem type from analysis (pain/goal/dream/fear)
3. **Priority**: 1=High, 2=Medium, 3=Low based on urgency
4. **Urgent flag**: true only for Critical/High urgency problems
5. **Measurable flag**: true only for problems with quantifiable metrics
6. **Color coding**: pain=#e74c3c, goal=#2ecc71, dream=#9b59b6, fear=#f39c12
7. **Content ideas**: Map hooks→"hook", questions→"question", solutions→"solution", quotes→"quote"
8. **Status**: Always start with "not_started"
9. **Links**: Leave empty array [] (can be added later by user)
Output ONLY valid JSON with no additional text or explanations. Ensure all strings are properly escaped.
