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

positioning-workshop 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 425 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Guide product managers through discovering and articulating product positioning by asking adaptive questions about target customers, unmet needs, product category, benefits, and competitive differentiation. Use this to align stakeholders on strategic positioning before writing PRDs, launch plans, or marketing materials—ensuring you've made deliberate choices about who you serve, what need you address, and how you differ from alternatives.

This is not a brainstorming session—it's a structured discovery process that outputs a Geoffrey Moore positioning statement backed by evidence and strategic choices.

Key Concepts

The Positioning Workshop Flow

An interactive discovery process that:

  1. Gathers product context (marketing materials, competitor intel)
  2. Identifies target customer segment through questioning
  3. Uncovers underserved needs via Jobs-to-be-Done lens
  4. Defines product category and benefits
  5. Establishes competitive differentiation
  6. Outputs a complete positioning statement (uses positioning-statement.md)

Why This Works

  • Structured discovery: Prevents "positioning by committee" (too vague)
  • Evidence-based: Uses real marketing materials, customer feedback, competitive intel
  • Adaptive: Questions adjust based on B2B vs. B2C, new product vs. repositioning, etc.
  • Actionable output: Generates a Geoffrey Moore positioning statement ready for stakeholder review

Anti-Patterns (What This Is NOT)

  • Not a tagline generator: Positioning ≠ marketing copy
  • Not feature-first: Starts with customer problems, not product capabilities
  • Not consensus-driven: Forces hard choices (can't be "for everyone")

When to Use This

  • Defining positioning for a new product
  • Repositioning an existing product (pivot, market shift)
  • Aligning stakeholders on product strategy
  • Preparing for launch or major release
  • Before writing positioning-dependent artifacts (PRD, press release, sales deck)

When NOT to Use This

  • Before customer research (positioning requires validated insights)
  • For internal tools with captive users (no market positioning needed)
  • When positioning is already clear and validated

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.
