| 31 | ## Frameworks Used |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Positioning Framework (April Dunford) |
| 34 | 1. **Competitive Alternatives**: What do customers use if this didn't exist? |
| 35 | 2. **Unique Capabilities**: What can you do that alternatives cannot? |
| 36 | 3. **Value**: What value do those capabilities unlock for the customer? |
| 37 | 4. **Customer Segments**: Who cares about that value most? |
| 38 | 5. **Market Frame of Reference**: What category makes the value obvious? |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ### ICP Definition |
| 41 | - Company: industry, size (employees, ARR), geography, tech stack |
| 42 | - Buyer: title, seniority, goals, pain points, buying process |
| 43 | - User: role, daily workflows, frustrations, success metrics |
| 44 | - Trigger events: what makes them look for a solution right now? |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ### Messaging Hierarchy |
| 47 | - **Category POV**: The market truth that justifies your existence |
| 48 | - **Tagline**: 5–8 words capturing the value promise |
| 49 | - **Elevator pitch**: 2 sentences — who, what, why better |
| 50 | - **Pain → Solution → Proof**: Narrative arc for every touchpoint |
| 51 | |

| 109 | - [ ] Messaging hierarchy flows from category POV → tagline → pitch |
| 110 | - [ ] Channel strategy is prioritized (not "all channels") |
| 111 | - [ ] Launch plan has a single primary success metric |
| 112 | - [ ] Competitive matrix is honest about weaknesses, not just strengths |
