      Gains

      What outcomes and benefits does your customer want?

        Products & Services

        What products and services do you offer?

          Pain Relievers

          How do your products and services relieve those pains?

            Gain Creators

            How do your products and services create those gains?

              Where the fit happens

              The circle is the customer, read on its own terms: the jobs they are trying to get done, the pains that get in the way, the gains they are hoping for. The square is your side — products and services, and how each one relieves a pain or creates a gain. Fit is not "does this row look full"; it's whether a real Pain Reliever answers a real Pain, and a real Gain Creator answers a real Gain, rather than a feature nobody in the circle asked for.
