When to use

• Positioning is unclear and prospects say they don't understand what the product does or why it's different.
• A new product, feature, or market segment needs a full messaging architecture before the website or sales deck is written.
• Sales and marketing are using inconsistent language and you need a single source of truth for messaging.
• Rebranding or entering a new market requires repositioning against a different set of competitive alternatives.
