The AI Operator's Playbook
47 specific plays for solo founders + agency operators. The exact prompt patterns Iron Front uses to ship marketing without an agency.
What it is
The AI Operator's Playbook is a digital product — a 64-page PDF containing 47 specific plays for using AI tools to run marketing without an agency. Each play has a use case, a weak/sharp prompt comparison, real expected output, and a step-by-step recipe. Founding-100 cohort at $47; standard $97. One-time purchase. Lifetime updates included (we ship v2 / v3 as the patterns evolve).
Solo founders running a business without a marketing team, agency operators looking for prompt patterns that produce client-grade output, and anyone tired of generic 'AI prompts for marketers' lists that contain 200 watered-down prompts and 0 frameworks.
Why it matters
The specific outcomes this capability is designed to produce — and the failure modes it's designed to prevent.
47 specific plays — not 200 watered-down prompts
Each play is a complete recipe: the use case, the weak version (what most people write), the sharp version (what actually produces good output), the expected result, and a 2-3 step process. Quality over quantity.
Weak vs sharp prompt comparisons
Six plays carry side-by-side weak/sharp input examples. Pedagogical: showing what "specific enough" looks like before the prompt runs. The ones we ship: #1 (founder bio), #5 (sales page outline), #28 (cold email rewrite), #30 (objection handler), #34 (LinkedIn carousel), #37 (audit report).
Founding-100 at $47
First 100 buyers lock in the $47 lifetime price. After that the price flips to $97 — both for new buyers AND for the lifetime-update path (v2 ships at $97 to founding members for free; standard buyers pay separately). Founding cap counted server-side from real revenue events.
Lifetime updates as we evolve the patterns
We ship Playbook v2, v3, etc. as new patterns emerge. Founding buyers get every future version free. The intent: this isn't a static PDF you buy and discard — it's a living reference you keep for years.
How it works
From "I want to use this" to "it's running in production for me," in 4 steps.

Questions
How is this different from "AI prompts for marketers" lists?+
Most AI prompt lists are 200 generic prompts. The Playbook is 47 complete plays — each one has a use case, weak/sharp comparison, expected output, and step-by-step process. We'd rather ship 47 plays that produce client-grade work than 500 prompts that don't.
Will it work with ChatGPT or only Claude?+
Both. The plays are model-agnostic — the patterns work in Claude, GPT-4 / GPT-5, Gemini, and most major LLMs. Some plays have 'works best in Claude because of context window' notes; otherwise transferable.
What's in the free 64-page sample?+
/get-the-black-book ships the entire Section 1 (8 plays) for free. Email gate, no credit card. The free sample is genuinely useful — it's not a 'tease' that artificially blocks the good content. If the free 8 plays solve your problem, you don't need the paid version.
Is there a refund policy?+
7 days, no questions, no friction. Email support@ironfrontdigital.com with your receipt. Refund issued same business day. Reverses any affiliate commission paid.
How does the founding-100 cap work?+
First 100 paid sales at $47. Sale 101 onward at $97. Counted server-side via revenue_events query — no off-by-one risk. The /black-book LP shows live 'X of 100 founding seats remaining' counter (cached 30s). When the cap hits, the price flips automatically.
