D · Strategy & action plan

To come

This section is written after field validation (otherwise we may plan the wrong product). The skeleton below fixes the expected headings; we fill them once the hypotheses are settled.

STP — Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning

  • Segmentation: beginner / regular / intermediate brewers (× FR / EN).
  • Targeting: beachhead = beginners (acquisition), then move up the journey.
  • Positioning: see the positioning statement (to confirm in the field).

Mix (digital-adapted)

  • Product: the guided assistant first (prioritized backlog).
  • Price: freemium; free core, paid BeerXML/BeerJSON export; generous free tier (FR sensitivity).
  • Distribution: stores + site; entry via communities.
  • Communication: build-in-public (LinkedIn FR + Indie Hackers EN), "listen-first" presence in brewer communities.

Action plan & KPIs

  • Starting channels (2): brewer communities (product) + LinkedIn (founder).
  • Cadence: 1 post/week (logbook, not ads).
  • KPIs (see Lean Canvas): brew completion rate, week-4 retention, recipes created/shared, NPS.
  • Loop: launch → measure → iterate.

Channel legitimacy

Building in public is legitimate now; selling / acquiring comes when there's a testable product.

Marketing needs study — hypotheses pending field confirmation. Tracked on epic #1075.
