Validate the problem
Commit to one market and one customer type
Compare the plausible opportunities on pain, timing and ability to win, then choose one and define the customer profile most likely to buy first.
Scope: 3 opportunity areas compared, one chosen with its customer profile
Why this matters
Keeping three markets alive feels safe and is the most expensive thing a small team can do. Every extra market doubles the messaging, the account list and the travel, and halves the depth in each. And a market on its own is still too broad to work: without a clear customer profile, the account list is guesswork.
What you get
A written comparison of the opportunity areas, a recommended beachhead, a defined customer profile with the conditions that make a company a fit, and an explicit list of what you are parking or dropping.
