Goal

  • Perception we are trying to move, or OKR this ladders to:
  • What we will stop if this cannot name either:

Audience

  • ICP seat and buying job:
  • Why this person, not an adjacent title:
  • ICP maturity this is for (core / scaling / testing):

Creative / unique take

  • The one thing only we can say (or the one cut of data only we have):
  • Still useful if the product name is removed? (yes / no):
  • Add-value test: what does the reader leave with that they did not have?

Channels

  • Owned URL or artifact:
  • Who distributes it (us / peer room / operator / paid):
  • What we will not do (spray, syndication without gates, calendar filler):

Stakeholders

  • Who must approve before this ships:
  • Who actually produces and distributes it:
  • Who is informed, and does not get a veto:
  • Date we will not slip past:

Decision

  • Next step the audience can take:
