Overview

This skill helps you find a clear, testable market positioning by applying eight proven frameworks. It focuses on matching market stage, naming a unique mechanism, choosing one high-impact angle, and validating claims with specificity and proof. The outcome is a single positioning statement you can test in messaging and campaigns.

How this skill works

It walks you through a four-step process: identify your market stage, extract and name the mechanism that competitors skip, select one primary psychological angle (contrarian, transformation, enemy, speed, specificity), and validate the angle against specificity, differentiation, and believability. The skill provides templates and examples for each stage and angle, plus a quick checklist to confirm your positioning is actionable. Use the final formula—market stage approach + mechanism + angle—to create a testable positioning statement.

When to use it

Developing marketing strategy for a new or existing product
Creating differentiation in a crowded or mature market
Clarifying why customers should choose you over competitors
Launching messaging for ads, landing pages, or sales outreach
Deciding which claims to test first in experiments

Best practices

Pick one primary angle—don’t mix several in core messaging
Match the approach to your market stage before crafting claims
Name your mechanism clearly; avoid generic terms like “our process”
Make claims specific with numbers, timeframes, or audience details
Validate believability with proof or by scaling back the claim

Example use cases

A SaaS founder in a crowded market: show your mechanism and target a niche with specificity
A new category product: use a simple promise that teaches what the category is
A jaded audience: lead with proof and data to rebuild trust
An impatient buyer persona: use the speed angle to promise fast results without major sacrifice
A marketing team testing ad creatives: create three variants from different angles and measure conversion lift

FAQ

Look at buyer awareness and competitor activity: explain the category = NEW; competitors exist but not saturated = GROWING; many players and active ads = CROWDED; buyers express skepticism = JADED; clear leaders and identity-driven choices = MATURE.

What if my mechanism isn’t unique?

Circle the steps competitors skip or do poorly; either refine the mechanism to highlight those differences or combine it with a narrower audience for specificity.
