Draft the Customer Segment Evidence Split Matrix
Synthesise the gathered inputs into a definitive Customer Segment Evidence Split artefact detailing comparative problem severity, willingness to pay, and acquisition friction for each profile. Formulate explicit decision recommendations on which segment to prioritise for initial scaling.
Completing this action produces a decision-ready analytical asset comparing commercial viability across customer profiles. Delivering this structured comparison provides the venture with a defensible, evidence-backed strategy for resource allocation and immediate product focus.
A fully populated Customer Segment Evidence Split matrix accompanied by a formal decision log. The asset must explicitly rank segments based on empirical evidence strength, problem intensity, and commercial velocity.

What specific metric weighted your primary segment decision above the alternative options?
- 2
Why did you prioritise a segment with lower immediate volume over one with higher initial interest?
- 3
How does this artefact explicitly demonstrate a validated willingness to pay rather than theoretical interest?
