Putting this resource to work
Suggested workflow based on the resource’s published scope. Adapt it to your organization and review the included instructions before use.
Before you begin
Define the customer, job to be done, geography, alternatives, horizon and exclusions. Gather dated evidence for competitors, substitutes, customer choice, internal capability and industry pressure.
Suggested workflow
Profile observable competitor positions, weight customer-choice factors to 100%, and apply the same rating anchors to each entity. Review industry forces and positioning before scoring strategic gaps. Define competitor response scenarios and turn the selected gap into owned validation, economics and pilot actions.
Review before relying on the result
The workbook ranks entered evidence under the chosen customer factors; it is not a universal company ranking. Investigate unequal research depth, stale public claims and material assumptions, and require a valued customer outcome plus credible delivery ability before treating whitespace as strategic opportunity.
