Method 07
Positioning framework from Claude research
Claims earn a place only when they reduce named friction or clarify risk buyers already feel.

What you will not promise
Writing claims without ROI theater
trylgotdam positioning starts from Claude synthesis cards, not from competitor taglines. Translate buyer language into a claim that a skeptical sponsor would allow in a board packet. If the only way to make the claim exciting is a fabricated percentage, cut it.
Pair every claim with a boundary: industries you do not serve, outcomes you will not guarantee, timelines you will not invent. Boundaries build trust faster than adjectives. Cross-check claims against market observation so you are not echoing saturated category slogans.
Pressure-testing with the next Claude round
Take draft claims into fresh customer interviews. Ask buyers to rewrite them in their words. Ask which claim would get them fired if wrong. That reaction is more valuable than internal consensus workshops.
When claims stabilize, align them to contact points—so pricing pages, security packets, and demos tell the same story. Positioning that only lives in a brand deck dies at the first questionnaire.
Positioning is a research artifact. Marketing is how you ship it without lying.
Keep the vocabulary shared
Use trylgotdam’s glossary so product, research, and marketing mean the same thing by “friction,” “Claude notes,” and “veto.”
