Pressure-test the proposed focus

Packaged know-how that tells an agent how to do a job well.

You might say…

I've committed to a focus that sounded tight and turned out to be either too small to sustain us or too vague to close on. This pressure-test comes first now.

What it does

Challenges a draft focus choice by surfacing where the market is too narrow or broad, where the firm has no real edge, and what is implicitly excluded.

Trigger: Use before committing to a positioning to stress-test its defensibility.

I/O: Draft positioning statement → challenge findings with market-size risks, edge gaps, and implicit exclusions identified
