Business Consulting Plugin for Claude

A comprehensive management consulting toolkit that transforms Claude into a senior strategy consultant. Just install the plugin and start asking — no technical knowledge required.

16 consulting skills | 24 ready-to-use commands | 5 industry overlays | 48 reference guides with templates


What This Plugin Does

Once installed, Claude gains deep expertise in management consulting — from market sizing and competitive analysis to M&A strategy and digital transformation. You get structured, consultant-grade deliverables instead of generic answers.

Before this plugin: "Can you help me analyze my market?" → Generic bullet points

After this plugin: /market-scan HR software for mid-market companies → TAM/SAM/SOM sizing, growth drivers, competitive landscape, regulatory trends, key players, and strategic implications — structured like a McKinsey engagement

Step 2: Set Your Context (Optional but Recommended)

Usage Examples with Sample Responses

Example 1: Market Scan

You type:

/market-scan HR technology for mid-market companies

Claude responds with:

HR Technology — Mid-Market Segment: Market Overview

Market Sizing

Metric Value
TAM (Global HR Tech) $62B (2025), growing at 11.2% CAGR
SAM (Mid-Market HR Tech, North America) $14.8B
SOM (Realistic addressable) $1.2–1.8B based on positioning

Growth Drivers

  1. Remote/hybrid workforce complexity — driving demand for integrated platforms
  2. Compliance burden — multi-state and multi-country regulations increasing
  3. AI-powered automation — talent acquisition, performance management
  4. Employee experience — retention pressure shifting budget to engagement tools

Competitive Landscape

Tier Players Positioning
Leaders Workday, ADP, UKG Full suite, enterprise-leaning
Challengers BambooHR, Paylocity, Rippling Mid-market native, modern UX
Disruptors Deel, Gusto, Oyster Global payroll, contractor-first

Key Trends

  • Platform consolidation (point solutions → unified suites)
  • AI copilots for HR business partners
  • Skills-based talent management replacing role-based

Strategic Implications

  • Opportunity: Mid-market remains underserved by enterprise vendors
  • Threat: Horizontal platforms (Rippling) expanding feature coverage rapidly
  • Action required: Differentiate on industry-specific workflows or vertical integration

Example 2: SWOT Analysis

You type:

/swot Our company — $50M ARR SaaS selling HR software, 600 employees, strong in mid-market but losing enterprise deals

Claude responds with:

SWOT Analysis: Acme Corp

SWOT Matrix

Helpful Harmful
Internal Strengths: Strong mid-market NRR (112%), deep HR domain expertise, 4.5 G2 rating, fast implementation (avg 38 days), loyal customer base Weaknesses: Limited enterprise feature set, single-product dependency, brand recognition below top 5, engineering team stretched thin, gross margin (73%) below best-in-class
External Opportunities: AI-powered features as differentiator, international expansion (UK/ANZ), vertical-specific modules (healthcare, manufacturing), partner ecosystem Threats: Enterprise vendors moving downmarket, economic slowdown affecting mid-market budgets, rising CAC across channels, consolidation pressure from PE-backed competitors

TOWS Strategic Options

Strategy Action Priority
SO (Strength + Opportunity) Leverage domain expertise to build AI-powered vertical modules HIGH
WO (Weakness + Opportunity) Partner with system integrators to compensate for limited enterprise capabilities MEDIUM
ST (Strength + Threat) Double down on mid-market loyalty programs to defend against enterprise downmarket push HIGH
WT (Weakness + Threat) Invest in brand building and analyst relations before window closes MEDIUM

Recommended Next Steps

  1. Commission a build-vs-buy analysis for enterprise features (Q1)
  2. Launch 3 vertical-specific modules starting with healthcare (Q2)
  3. Establish strategic partnerships with 2 SI firms (Q2)

Example 3: Financial Model

You type:

/financial-model SaaS company, $50M ARR, 35% growth, 73% gross margin, targeting Rule of 40

Claude responds with:

3-Year Financial Projection

ARR $67.5M $87.8M $110.0M
Growth Rate 35% 30% 25%
MRR $5.63M $7.32M $9.17M
New ARR $20.0M $23.5M $25.5M
Churned ARR ($3.5M) ($4.2M) ($4.8M)
Net New ARR $17.5M $20.3M $22.2M

EBITDA Margin 5% 12% 18%
Rule of 40 Score 40 42 43
FCF $1.7M $7.0M $14.3M

Unit Economics

Metric Current Target
CAC $38,000 $32,000
ACV $83,000 $95,000
LTV $332,000 $427,500
LTV/CAC 8.7x 13.4x
CAC Payback 14 months 11 months

Sensitivity Analysis

Scenario ARR Y3 EBITDA Y3 Rule of 40
Bull (40%/35%/30%) $130.7M 20% 50
Base (35%/30%/25%) $110.0M 18% 43
Bear (30%/25%/20%) $93.6M 14% 34

Key Assumptions & Risks

  • NRR assumed at 112%, declining to 110% as base grows
  • S&M spend dropping from 45% to 38% of revenue (efficiency gains)
  • Risk: If NRR drops below 105%, Rule of 40 target at risk in bear case

Example 4: Customer Analysis

You type:

/customer-analysis Why are our enterprise customers churning at 2x the rate of mid-market?

Claude responds with:

Enterprise Churn Analysis

Churn Comparison

Segment Logo Churn Revenue Churn NRR
Enterprise (500+ emp) 14% annual 11% 94%
Mid-Market (50-500) 7% annual 4% 112%
Gap 2x worse 2.75x worse 18 pts below

Root Cause Analysis (Pareto)

Cause % of Enterprise Churn Cumulative
Missing enterprise features (SSO, SCIM, audit logs) 32% 32%
Poor executive relationship management 24% 56%
Implementation took >90 days (expectation: 45) 18% 74%
Competitor displacement (Workday, UKG) 15% 89%
Budget cuts / M&A 11% 100%

Customer Health Score — Enterprise vs Mid-Market

Health Indicator Enterprise Avg Mid-Market Avg

Support tickets / month 12.4 3.2

NPS +8 +42

Recommended Actions

Priority Initiative Expected Impact Timeline
P0 Build SSO/SCIM/audit log (table stakes) -8% enterprise churn Q1-Q2
P0 Assign dedicated CSMs to all enterprise accounts -5% churn, +6 NPS Immediate
P1 Redesign enterprise onboarding (90→45 day target) -4% churn Q2
P1 Quarterly exec business reviews (not just QBRs) Improved retention signal Q1
