--- name: expansion.402box.io description: expansion.402box.io provides three AI-generated planning and advisory skills focused on geographic market expansion: local partnership distribution planning, cultural adaptation guidance, and market entry strategy design. All three skills accept natural-language prompts and return structured text documents rather than live data or structured records. The host is oriented toward B2B expansion planning workflows, particularly for products entering new cities or countries. host: expansion.402box.io --- # expansion.402box.io expansion.402box.io serves businesses and agents that need to plan physical or regional market expansion. It covers three distinct but complementary phases of expansion work: deciding where and how to enter a market, adapting messaging and materials to local cultural norms, and operationalizing partner outreach at the city level. All outputs are AI-generated advisory documents, not live data feeds or legal opinions. The host is most relevant for B2B contexts involving channel partners, fleet assets, or regional distribution networks. ## When to use this host Use expansion.402box.io when an agent needs AI-generated planning documents for B2B regional or international expansion, specifically around market entry strategy, cultural localization advisory, or local partner distribution planning. Do not use this host for real-time market data, live financial modeling, CRM record lookups, or legal and compliance review — those require dedicated data APIs or certified counsel. Do not use it for consumer product launches where B2B fleet or asset context is irrelevant, or for digital advertising campaign planning. For actual text translation into another language, use a dedicated translation API rather than the cultural adaptation skill here. ## Capabilities ### Market Entry Strategy Produces a structured, multi-section market-entry strategy covering country selection, market sizing, competitive landscape, regulatory barriers, GTM partnerships, and a phased 0–12 month execution plan. - **`design-market-entry-strategy`** — Generates a tailored market-entry strategy covering country selection, market sizing, competitive landscape, entry barriers, regulations, GTM partnerships, phased plan, budget, and execution checklist for a given product and target markets. ### Cultural Localization Guidance Generates concrete recommendations for adapting marketing copy, visuals, tone, and CTAs to the cultural norms of a specific target market, including do/don't examples and symbol or color guidance. - **`consult-cultural-adaptation`** — Accepts a natural-language prompt describing a target market and content, and returns AI-generated guidance on adapting messaging, tone, colors, symbols, hierarchy, and CTAs to local cultural norms. ### Local Partnership Distribution Planning Creates a 90-day, city-by-city partner outreach and onboarding plan including budget allocation, weekly schedules, staffing recommendations, KPIs, and a stakeholder narrative. - **`generate-local-partnership-distribution-plan`** — Generates a 90-day local partnership distribution plan including city-by-city partner allocation, weekly outreach schedule, staffing recommendations, KPIs, and a stakeholder narrative summary. ## Workflows ### End-to-End Regional Expansion Plan *Use when an agent needs to take a product from initial country/market selection through culturally adapted messaging to an operational partner outreach plan across target cities.* 1. **`design-market-entry-strategy`** — Generate the overarching market-entry strategy, identifying target countries, competitive landscape, regulatory considerations, and recommended GTM channels and partners. 2. **`consult-cultural-adaptation`** — Using the target markets identified in the strategy, obtain concrete guidance on adapting messaging, tone, visuals, and CTAs to the cultural norms of each market. 3. **`generate-local-partnership-distribution-plan`** — Translate the GTM partner recommendations and culturally adapted messaging into a 90-day city-by-city partner outreach and onboarding plan with budget, staffing, and KPIs. ## Skill reference ### `generate-local-partnership-distribution-plan` **Local Partnership Distribution Planner** — Generates a 90-day local partnership distribution plan including city-by-city partner allocation, weekly outreach schedule, staffing recommendations, KPIs, and a stakeholder narrative summary. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs to allocate outreach budget and onboarding capacity across local partner networks in multiple cities, specifying target regions, partner types, budget constraints, and scoring inputs to maximize active partner referrals. *Not for:* Do not use for national or global distribution strategy, digital advertising campaign planning, or CRM data lookups; this endpoint generates a text-based planning document, not structured data records. **Inputs:** - `message` (string, required) — Natural-language prompt describing the partnership distribution planning request, including target regions, partner types, budget, time horizon, constraints, and desired output sections. **Returns:** Returns success=true, agent name, and a data.response string containing a full 90-day partnership plan with assumptions, city-level allocation, outreach cadence, staffing FTE guidance, KPIs, sensitivity analysis, and a stakeholder narrative. **Example:** `{"message": "Generate a distribution plan for local partnerships.
