Prioritize Experiments with a Positioning Grid

Turn product questions into measurable decisions. Focus on the highest-impact move.

Who This Helps

Product managers like you. You have a list of product questions and a pile of competitor noise. You need to turn that noise into a clear, measurable decision. The Market Intelligence & Positioning course is built for exactly this moment.

Mini Case

Meet Zaid. He runs product at a B2B SaaS company. His team had 12 potential experiments lined up. After building a positioning grid from the course, Zaid isolated one market shift that changed everything. He cut the list to 3 high-impact moves. One experiment lifted trial-to-paid conversion by 22% in 7 days. No guesswork. Just a clear bet.

Do This Now (5 Steps)

  1. Run a signal landscape scan. List every market signal you see. Pick the one that changes your positioning.
  2. Audit competitor claims. Sort them into evidence-backed vs narrative noise. Ignore the noise.
  3. Pick one ICP wedge. Use the ICP Wedge Choice mission. Justify it with real data.
  4. Build your positioning grid. Use comparable criteria. Map tradeoffs. See where you win.
  5. Run one experiment. Pick the highest-impact move from your grid. Test it this week.

Avoid These Traps

  • Chasing every signal. Not every market shift matters. Focus on the one that changes your positioning.
  • Believing competitor narratives. Claims without evidence are just noise. Verify before you act.
  • Picking too many ICP wedges. One wedge, one bet. Spreading thin kills impact.
  • Building a grid without tradeoffs. If your grid shows no tradeoffs, you are not being honest.
  • Running experiments without a grid. Without a positioning grid, you are guessing. Stop guessing.

Your Win by Friday

By Friday, you will have one positioning artifact. It will be a single page that shows your wedge, your grid, and your top experiment. You will know exactly which move to prioritize. No more second-guessing. Just a clear, measurable decision. And maybe a little extra time for coffee.
