market-context

Overview

Market context is the forensic analysis of structural forces—timing, distribution moats, and demand aggregation—that determine whether a product can capture long-term value. This skill prevents "Strategy Blindness" by forcing an audit of the "Where to Play" domains before any resources are allocated.

Iron Law

NO STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATION WITHOUT VALIDATED MARKET CONTEXT

Assumed market dynamics are the primary cause of high-growth failures. Every claim must be validated against current structural shifts (e.g., Aggregation Theory or Unbundling).
