Run your offer on LEANSpark
- Draft the offer — the Mafia Offer pitch generator builds your four-act pitch from the canvas and your interview forces, scored on the value equation, with the objections you’ll face.
- Design the demo — the demo designer produces the smallest viable demo (FAVORITE), with a hold-back list, so you sell before you build.
- Run the experiment — the Mafia Offer Delivery sprint runs the whole 14-day cycle: prepare, pitch, log outcomes, and read the traction decision.
- Track commitments — every pitch and prospect is tracked from first contact to paid, so your conversion rate and commitment evidence are always live.
- Score the conversation — upload a pitch recording and get an act-by-act read of what landed and what to tighten. (The conversational Campaign Designer, which sequences discovery → offer → optimization as one guided 90-day plan, is rolling out now.)

The offer at a glance
| Step | What you’re doing |
|---|---|
| Design | Engineer the value equation; anchor the price to the real alternative. |
| Pitch | Four acts: reset the reference point, demo, then the offer. You’re the guide, not the hero. |
| Demo | Show the smallest believable thing. Demo-Sell-Build, not Build-Sell. |
| Run | Ten-plus pitches; escalate the ask; beat the fear of messing up. |
| Decide | 60%+ converts → persevere. Below → optimize or pivot. The commitment is the evidence. |
