What it does
Not every power can be built at every time. A cornered resource is easiest to win before a market takes off, because nobody knows yet what it is worth. Scale, network and switching costs are won while demand is growing fast. A brand, or a way of working that rivals cannot copy, needs years of steady delivery, so it is built once growth slows. Trying to build a brand in a market that is just forming wastes money, and waiting to lock in suppliers until the market is settled means paying a high price. This skill finds your stage from signs you can check, such as how fast demand is growing and who your main rival is. It lists which powers are open, picks the nearest one, and writes a first test with a clear pass line. It also lists three product choices you made early that make some powers…
You give it
- A power test or scorecard for your business
- How fast demand in your market is growing, and who your rivals are
- Your early product, supplier and customer choices that are hard to undo
- Your question (optional)
You get
- Your market stage and the signs behind the call
- A table of the seven powers, each open, narrowing or closed at your stage
- The one power to build first, with a first test, a pass line and a six-month check
- Three early choices and the powers each one helps or closes
Use it when
- You know your edge is thin and want to choose which one to build next.
- You are about to spend on brand, scale or a platform and want to know if the timing is right.
- You are choosing a product design and want to know which long-run edges it will allow or rule out.
How to use it
- Start a chat with the skill. Open it if you added it to your AI, or copy it and paste it in.
- Paste your power test or scorecard, then add market growth figures if you have them.
- Name the choices that would be costly to undo, such as your main supplier or your price model.
- Run the first test it writes and come back with the result.
- If the answer is a counter-positioning idea, check it with "Counter-positioning finder" first.
