Who This Helps
You're a founder operator. You have a dozen ideas and limited time. You need to pick the one experiment that moves the needle. This is for you.
Mini Case
Meet Zaid. He runs a B2B SaaS startup. He had 5 possible experiments: a new pricing page, a competitor claim audit, a customer interview series, a feature launch, and a content push. He used the Market Intelligence & Positioning course to run a quick Signal Landscape Scan. He found that one competitor's claim about "AI-powered analytics" was pure noise—no evidence. That freed him to focus on the pricing page experiment. Result? 12% more conversions in 7 days.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- List your options. Write down every experiment you're considering. No filtering yet.
- Score each for impact. Ask: "If this works, does it change my revenue or retention?" Rate 1-3.
- Score each for evidence. Ask: "Do I have data this will work?" Rate 1-3.
- Pick the highest combined score. Multiply impact by evidence. The winner is your next experiment.
- Run it this week. No analysis paralysis. Just do the one thing.
Avoid These Traps
- Falling for competitor noise. Just because a rival claims something doesn't mean it's true. Zaid's competitor claim audit saved him from chasing a fake trend.
- Spreading too thin. Three experiments at once means none get proper focus. Pick one.
- Ignoring your ICP wedge. Your ideal customer profile is your compass. Use it to filter experiments.
Your Win by Friday
