Core strategy instrument · Tester
Redline interchangeable language and identify the proof that belongs only to you.
No account. No email gate. The primary result and exports are free.
Direct definition
Positioning Sharpness assesses whether a competitor can use your claim without changing its meaning, then identifies the proof and language that remain specific to your company.
Definition and worked example
Who should use it: Test whether a competitor can inherit your claim without changing its meaning.
Decision basis: The swap test redlines transparent generic phrases and competitor interchangeability; pressure mode records a response, proof, failure condition, and owner. The generic-language dictionary is published in the method code and is directional.

Two-dimensional placement
Cards farther right have more complete inputs. Cards higher on the map carry greater unresolved decision exposure.
Optional research contribution
Your result is complete and stays free whether you contribute or not. Research Mode sends four selected company descriptors and aggregate result counts only. The application payload excludes your claim, company name, competitor, buyer, proof text, email, identity, artifact, analytics session, and IP address. The server does not write transport IP to the research table.
This browser has a receipt for one research contribution. The receipt contains only a submission ID and withdrawal token.
Team operating path
The pack includes private pre-work, simultaneous reveal, a 60-minute agenda, priority selection, decision ownership, dissent, and a 30-day review.
Carry the work forward
The default pre-read includes versions, result, open questions, and requested outcome. Your raw working text stays out unless you deliberately include it.
