Ask the user about their product to identify which advantages apply. Use these diagnostic questions:

**Product-Led Growth Signals:**
1. Does your product become more valuable as more people use it? (Network effects)
2. Do users naturally share or invite others? (Virality)
3. Do you have a free plan or trial? What triggers paid conversion?

**Market / Ecosystem Signals:**
4. Do you have integration partners with overlapping audiences?
5. Do other players (agencies, consultants, influencers) sell or recommend your product?
6. Are you starting with a niche to expand to a larger market?

**Brand / Marketing Signals:**
7. Is there a trend or regulation driving urgency to buy?
8. Is your audience underserved by educational content or community?
9. Does your founder have unique credibility or story with this audience?
10. Are you creating or defining a new category?

### Step 2: Identify Advantages

Based on responses, identify which of the 9 advantages apply. Most products have 2-4 primary advantages.

### Step 3: Recommend Strategies & Channels

For each identified advantage, provide the specific strategies and channels from the framework below.
