GTM_01Go-To-Market Engine™ 3–4 weeks

    Why it matters

    Most launches fail not on product but on sequencing. Skipping soft → beta → public → category creates noisy launches with no compounding effect. This module installs Dunford-grade positioning, a Raskin strategic narrative and the launch-readiness scorecard that keeps every team accountable to the same gates.

    Scope covered

    Positioning v1 using the Dunford 5-component framework
    Strategic narrative and POV manifesto (category-narrative method)
    Launch tier sequencing — soft / beta / public / category-creation
    Go/no-go gate criteria for each tier
    GTM Bill of Materials (assets, owners, deadlines)
    Launch-readiness scorecard across product, marketing, sales, CS, ops
    War-room operating cadence (daily standup → retro)
    Press, analyst, customer and community sequencing
    How we run it
