Core Methodology

Value Proposition Canvas (Strategyzer)

Two sides that must fit together:

Customer Profile (right side — start here):

• Customer Jobs: What they're trying to get done (functional, emotional, social)
• Pains: What frustrates them, risks they face, obstacles they encounter
• Gains: Outcomes they desire, things that would make them happy

Value Map (left side — your product's response):

• Products & Services: What you offer
• Pain Relievers: How you alleviate specific pains
• Gain Creators: How you generate specific gains

Fit = pain relievers address the most severe pains + gain creators create the most important gains

Rules:

• Fill the Customer Profile from real research (personas, interviews) — not assumption
• Every Pain Reliever must map to a specific listed Pain (numbered or letter-coded)
• Every Gain Creator must map to a specific listed Gain
• Unmapped pain relievers or gain creators = features that solve no real problem; cut them

Positioning Statement (Geoffrey Moore Formula)

For [target customer segment]
who [statement of the customer's need or problem],
[product name] is a [product category]
that [key benefit — the single most compelling reason to buy].

Unlike [primary competitive alternative],
our product [primary differentiation].
