Where Competitors Break: A 6-Month Product Wedge Map

A strategic intelligence canvas that connects repeated customer complaints to unmet jobs and plausible switching triggers, then converts them into evidence-grounded feature bets sequenced across six months — populated only when public evidence is cited.

Map each [Observed job] customers hire the target to accomplish. Confidence fills only once evidence links are entered.

◊ COMPLAINT CLUSTERINGSEC 04 · CLUSTER LOCK

Complaint Clustering

Group repeated complaints, then link each cluster back to evidence rows and the unmet job it maps to. Frequency stays neutral until evidence is counted.

◊ VULNERABILITY SCORINGSEC 05 · SCORE LOCK

Vulnerability Scoring

Each vulnerability scores only when a repeated complaint connects to an unmet job and a plausible switching trigger. Scores read until required links are populated.

Vulnerability Repeated complaint evidence Unmet job Switching trigger Severity Frequency Switchability Confidence Score
SCORE VALID ONLY WHEN COMPLAINT EVIDENCE + UNMET JOB + SWITCHING TRIGGER ARE ALL CITED OR LINKED · SCORE = (SEVERITY + FREQUENCY + SWITCHABILITY + CONFIDENCE)
◊ SWITCHING TRIGGERSSEC 06 · TRIGGER RAIL

Switching Triggers

Switching triggers are the bridge between vulnerability and feature bets. Keep every lane ready for entry — no trigger is asserted until proof is attached.

◊ FEATURE BETSSEC 07 · BET LOCK

Feature Bets

Two to three bets, each distinguishing feature parity from a focused wedge. Recommendations remain hypotheses until evidence is cited.

◊ SIX-MONTH SEQUENCINGSEC 08 · TIME RAIL

Six-Month Sequencing

Assign each bet across months one through six along three swimlanes. Slots stay empty until a user places a bet.

◊ FALSIFICATION CHECKSSEC 09 · DISPROOF LOCK

Falsification Checks

Recommendations remain hypotheses until evidence is cited. Every bet carries an explicit way to be disproven — define what evidence would kill it before you build it.
