Transition Guide
You can make the thing. Now get sharper at choosing the thing, shaping it, and proving people want it.
Why: Shipping fast only helps when the pain is real and the user knows they have it.
Practice: Run five customer conversations and write the switching trigger before choosing the build.
Suggested resources: INSPIRED, Lenny's Podcast
Why: A useful product still needs a clear reason to switch and a way to reach the user.
Practice: Write the target user, trigger, promise, objection, and distribution path before launch.

Phase 1 · Weeks 1-4
Talk to users, rank pains, write the switching trigger, and name the riskiest assumption.
Phase 2 · Weeks 5-8
Pick the smallest build that could prove the pain, value, channel, and retention hook.
Phase 3 · Weeks 9-12
Ship with an activation path, feedback route, retention signal, and a written next bet.
