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.
