What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you define clear product positioning so customers understand what you do, why it’s different, and which market category you belong in—especially when you’re entering a crowded space or repositioning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Competitive Alternatives Analysis: Identify what customers use if your product didn’t exist, including “do nothing” and manual processes.
  • Unique Attributes & Value Mapping: Distinguish genuinely unique attributes and translate them into customer-valued outcomes using the “So what?” chain.
  • Best-Fit Customers & Market Category Choice: Define the tightest best-fit segment and select the category frame (existing, subcategory, or new) that makes your value obvious.
  • Positioning Canvas & Team Workshop: Capture decisions in a positioning canvas and align stakeholders through a structured workshop.
  • Outputs for Messaging and Sales Narrative: Derive a positioning statement, sales narrative, and messaging and content strategy from the positioning inputs.

Quick Start

Fill in the positioning canvas for your product using the five-step process (alternatives, unique attributes, value themes, best-fit customers, and market category) so you can produce an aligned positioning statement and sales narrative.
