ansoff-matrix

ansoff-matrix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A growth-planning framework that compares existing and new products with existing and new markets. It gives four choices: sell more of the current product, reach new customers, create a new product, or diversify into both.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing a growth direction, comparing expansion options, deciding whether to enter a new market, and prioritizing product or market development.
Why use it?
Teams can spread resources across too many growth ideas without agreeing on which is safest or most important. The framework makes the trade-off between opportunity and uncertainty clearer.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ansoff-matrix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ansoff Matrix

Overview

Every growth option a firm has falls into one of four quadrants defined by two axes: existing vs. new product, and existing vs. new market. Risk rises as unknowns multiply: selling your existing product to your existing market adds zero unknowns; diversifying (new product + new market) adds two unknowns simultaneously, compounding risk roughly fourfold. The matrix's job is prioritization — selecting one primary direction and committing resources there — not listing all options simultaneously.

AI has compressed execution time for Market Development and Product Development moves, but the relative risk ordering still holds.

Composes with: swot-analysis (assess strengths per quadrant first); bcg-matrix (which BU needs growth, then Ansoff picks direction); porters-five-forces (validate target market attractiveness before committing).

When to Use

Apply when:

  • Leadership is debating where to grow next without a shared framework
  • Resources are spread across 4+ directions with no single bet resourced enough to win
  • The firm is considering entering a new geography or demographic with an existing product
  • A product team is developing a new product and needs strategic context
  • A startup is past initial PMF and planning its next phase
  • An AI-native company is weighing deeper penetration vs. new segments vs. shipping autonomous agents vs. diversifying — under rising AI capex, fast AI adoption, and AI-native competition

When NOT to use: single product with clear unsaturated demand (penetration is the obvious answer); portfolio-level resource allocation across existing BUs (BCG Matrix); industry-level competitive assessment (Porter's Five Forces first); evaluating a single acquisition or partnership deal.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
