A roadmap told as problems being solved, not a list to argue over.
A narrative version of your plan, grouped into two or three themes, with commitment levels and a plain list of what is not happening.
Hand people a feature list and they negotiate each item. The meeting becomes a debate about whether item seven is worth it, and nobody discusses whether the problems are the right ones.
Roadmap Narrative converts each planned item into the problem behind it, groups the problems into themes, and labels each Committed, Planned, or Exploring. It writes a short story per theme and a section on what you are deliberately not doing, then checks that the draft has not slipped back into a list.
What it produces.
- →A two-sentence summary of the direction
- →Two or three problem themes with why-now and a progress signal

- →A not-happening section, with reasons
- ✦Product leaders presenting a quarterly plan
- ✦Founders explaining direction to customers or a board

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude tends to polish the list into prose and keep every feature in the story. This starts from problems, caps the themes, separates commitment from exploration, and moves features to an appendix.
How is this different from a Tool?
Playbooks are systematically produced to a fixed template and priced accordingly ($12.99). Tools are hand-built, one at a time, and go deeper ($39 to $199). A Playbook gives you a reliable method for routine work; a Tool is for when the judgment matters more than the format.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.
Can I share this with my team?
It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. The output it produces is yours to circulate. To put the Playbook itself in the hands of a whole team, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full: see our refund policy.
