Why it matters

Without it, growth tactics are fuel poured on confusion.

How to use it
  • Focus on one narrow segment first.
  • Measure retention and repeat use.
  • Listen for pull, not polite compliments.
Real-life example

Slack did not win because it had more features than email. Teams kept using it because communication became faster and less painful.

Where people screw it up

Calling early curiosity or press attention “fit.”

Bottom line

You have it when a defined group really wants what you built — and proves it through retention, referrals, or repeated use.
