Questions about GTM Alpha

For founders, CEOs, CMOs, CROs and demand generation heads. The decision: whether GTM Alpha fits your team before you run the free audit or connect it to your assistant.

Answers on what GTM Alpha does, what it costs, what data it keeps and who built it.

In short

What is GTM Alpha?

GTM Alpha is a free tool for founders, CMOs and CROs, built by Shashwat Ghosh of Helix GTM Consulting. It scores the four EPIC go to market motions (Ecosystem and ABM, Product-Led, Inbound and Outbound, Community-Led) from 1 to 10 using fixed rules, tells you which motion to lead with and suggests a plan. To use it in an AI app, add https://gtmalpha.gtmhelix.com/mcp in any supported MCP client; you do not need to sign in.

Fit and requirements

What do I need to run an EPIC audit?

In Claude, only your GTM challenge is required, but you should also add your stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A, Series B, Series C or bootstrapped) and industry. The web form also asks for your name, role, company, industry, a short company description, stage, team size and budget. For a full score rather than a preliminary one, also give your average contract value in US dollars, deal cycle in days, net revenue retention in percent, number of target accounts, whether customers can sign up without sales, your main deal source (referrals, outbound, partnerships, inbound or mixed) and your primary market (India, US and EU, Middle East, APAC or global).

  1. Fill in the free EPIC audit form, or add https://gtmalpha.gtmhelix.com/mcp to Claude as a custom connector (no sign in is needed) and ask for an EPIC audit.
  2. Give the details listed above.
  3. Read the four motion scores from 1 to 10, the motion to lead with, and any warnings.
Who is GTM Alpha not ideal for?

It is not ideal for teams that want a strategy written by AI, because the EPIC scores follow fixed rules from the documented rubric and no AI model writes them. It is not ideal for companies that cannot share basic numbers: if contract value, deal cycle, net revenue retention or target account count is missing, the result is marked preliminary. It is also not ideal for anyone who needs live market data, because GTM Alpha does not look anything up and works only from what you enter.

The EPIC framework and the free audit

What is the EPIC framework?

EPIC is Shashwat Ghosh's go to market framework. It covers four motions:

  • E: Ecosystem and ABM (account based marketing and partners)
  • P: Product-Led Growth
  • I: Inbound and Outbound demand generation
  • C: Community-Led growth and advocacy

GTM Alpha scores each one from 1 to 10 for your company and tells you which one to lead with.

What is in the free EPIC audit?
  • Your EPIC scores from 1 to 10 for the four motions, with the rule behind each score
  • Recommendations for your lead motion
  • A 180 day plan in four stages: days 1 to 30, days 31 to 60, days 61 to 90 and days 91 to 180
  • A PDF download of the report

It is free to use, no sign in required, and no payment is taken.

Using it in Claude

Is it free to use in Claude?
Which AI assistants can use GTM Alpha?

Is data from my AI conversations stored?

No. GTM Alpha receives only the tool name and the inputs of each call, uses them to build the reply and keeps nothing you sent. Our code does not store or log tool inputs or results, though it does count each call. Netlify, which hosts the site, keeps its own request logs under its own policy. See the privacy policy for details.

Data and privacy

What data does GTM Alpha collect?

Only what you type in, and most of it is not kept:

  • Free EPIC audit form: your name and role, company name, description, website, LinkedIn URL, challenge, stage, team size and budget, plus the optional EPIC inputs you choose to give. They are used to build your report for that request and are not stored. The form does not ask for your email address
  • EPIC audit API for developers: the inputs you send are not stored
  • Usage data: our pages count visits with Google Analytics, which sets cookies only if you accept, and Ahrefs Web Analytics, which sets none; neither receives what you type. The server keeps an anonymous count of each call (see the privacy policy), and Netlify, our host, keeps standard request logs
  • GTM Alpha in Claude: our code does not store or log your inputs or results

We do not collect passwords or payment details, and set no advertising cookies.

Is my business data kept confidential?

Yes. The free EPIC audit form stores nothing, and the EPIC audit API does not store what you send. We:

  • Never share your data with competitors
  • Do not use your data to train AI models
  • Use one hosting provider: Netlify
How can I access, correct, or delete my data?

Email shashwat@gtmhelix.com with the subject "Data Rights Request" and say whether you want a copy of your data, a correction or deletion. We respond within 30 days.

What do you do about GDPR, DPDP and CCPA?

We describe what we do rather than claim compliance:

  • The privacy policy lists every field the site stores and where it is kept
  • The free EPIC audit form and GTM Alpha in Claude do not store or log any of your inputs or results
  • Our pages load Google Analytics and Ahrefs Web Analytics to count visits; Google Analytics sets cookies only if you accept
  • You can ask for a copy, a correction or deletion by email, and we act on it by hand within 30 days

See our privacy policy for full details.

Do you use cookies or tracking?

Only to count visits, and only with your choice:

  • Visit counts: Google Analytics sets cookies only if you select Accept in the cookie choice; Ahrefs Web Analytics sets none. Neither receives what you type. There is no Facebook Pixel or ad tracking
  • Fonts: served from this site

How to read the answer

Each answer on this page states what GTM Alpha does today, how the EPIC motion scores from 1 to 10 work, and which inputs are required for a full score versus a preliminary result. Every score comes from documented rules rather than an AI model.

What to do next

Why come back

Come back when you need to check a scoring rule, verify how your inputs are handled, or re-run the audit after your deal metrics change. The tool applies the same fixed rules every time. It does not call an AI model, and this site does not keep what you enter.
