The shape

  1. Customer need
  2. Unique value
  3. Evidence
  4. Outcome

A worked example

Your main challenge is response time. Our value is automated routing. Customers using it have cut first response time by 30 per cent. That is faster service without adding another support layer.

Mostly serves Message, and reaches into Connection and Intent.

A framework tells you what shape the answer takes. It cannot tell you whether shape is what you are short of, and for most people it is not. Which one is yours, and whether a framework is the right instrument at all, is what a Discovery Call is for.
