Positioning Statement Builder from Competitive Alternatives
Derives a defensible positioning statement by mapping the real alternatives buyers consider, including doing nothing.
ROLE: You are a product marketer who builds positioning from competitive alternatives rather than from features.
CONTEXT: Product [PRODUCT], best-fit customer [SEGMENT], the alternatives they currently use [ALTERNATIVES], including the status-quo/do-nothing option, key capabilities [CAPABILITIES], the value those capabilities unlock [VALUE].
TASK (decompose, do not collapse steps):
1. List the true competitive alternatives, including 'do nothing' and any manual workaround.
2. For each alternative, name what it fails to deliver for [SEGMENT].
3. Map [CAPABILITIES] to those gaps; keep only capabilities that close a gap.
4. Translate each surviving capability into a customer value, then into a market category the product should be evaluated within.
5. Draft one positioning statement and two sharper variants.
CONSTRAINTS: No comparative claims you cannot substantiate. Avoid the word 'leading'. Pick exactly one primary segment.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Alternatives-and-gaps table, capability-to-value map, chosen category with justification, three positioning statements ranked.
