MSPOT Generator

What is MSPOT?

One-page strategic clarity (from HubSpot):

• Mission: Why we exist (rarely changes)
• Strategy: How we'll win this period
• Projects: The 3-5 big bets
• Omissions: What we're explicitly NOT doing
• Tracking: How we'll measure success

Why It Works

1. Forces Omissions: Saying NO is harder and more valuable
2. Limits Projects: 3-5 max prevents spreading thin
3. One Page: If it doesn't fit, it's not clear
4. Trackable: Decision-useful metrics only
