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.
