A full project
Every analysis a strategist would run. In the order they’d run it.
For the big moves: a new market, a new product, a launch you’ll be asked to defend. A full project answers all three questions before you decide, not just the parts a smaller decision needs.
Two lines in
What you’re taking, and where. That’s all it needs to start.
A first impression, in one press
The AI researches all three questions and says where the idea leans. A first impression, not the answer: nothing is rated until you rate it.

The head start

The questions, tool by tool
All nine analyses, each checked against evidence you add: customer calls, documents, sources.
The questionThe answer with nothing behind itWhat you walk out with①Is the need real?“The customer said they'd buy it.”
The needs, ranked by how badly they're served
each one carrying its own evidence — or standing marked as unproven
②Is the market worth it?“It's a big market — billions.”
A size you can defend, not the biggest one you found
several methods reconciled against each other, every figure traceable to its source
③Can we win it?“We're better than what's out there.”
What it's worth to the customer, in money
quantified against the alternative they'd otherwise buy, and turned into a price
Same questions either way. The only difference is whether the answer was earned.
① Is the need real?
- Needs MapFind the real, underserved needs — and pressure-test whether the need is even there.
- Trend WatchSee what is changing in the market, which needs it makes stronger, and what to watch.
② Is the market worth it?
- Market ModelSize TAM/SAM/SOM two ways, triangulate, and see what your number really means.
- Segment MapCut the market into the parts it comes in, and say which are yours — the cuts the SAM is built from.
- Value ChainDraw the chain your product travels down — who buys from whom, stage by stage, and how many of each there are.
③ Can we win it?
- Competitive LandscapeMap the incumbents and the substitutes together — everything the customer could buy instead of you.
- Value PropositionBuild claims that answer a need, beat a named alternative and carry proof — then the statement they make.
- Price CaseA price you can defend: floor, group and worth.
- Growth PlanSet the growth aspiration, then build the launch plan that has to add up to it.
The decision
The three questions give a reading: Go, Conditional Go, Hold, No-Go. It sets the most committing outcome the evidence supports. Then you pick one of five, with the risks and how you’ll handle each. The call is yours, and the case behind it is written down.
- Launch
- Enter small
- Reshape the entry
- Wait / fast-follow
- Don't enter
Then ④ Can we make it? is recorded before money moves: capacity, development, qualification.
