People don’t buy products, they hire them to make progress in a situation. This turns what you know about that progress into a job statement and the four forces behind a switch, then hands you an interview script to go verify it with real customers.
How this works
A “job to be done” is the progress a customer is trying to make, and the circumstance they’re in when they make it. A customer switches to you only when two forces pushing toward change (their dissatisfaction with the old way, the pull of a better outcome) outweigh two forces holding them back (the habit of what they use now, and the anxiety of switching). Name those four, and you know what to say and what to fix.
Fill in what you believe today. The kit builds your working job statement, maps the four forces, and generates a switch-interview script so you can test it against how customers actually decided, not how you assume they did.
