A team is tying its customer promise to a technology, channel, or market plan that may change before the promise has had time to mean anything.

Cabinet item 018Template

Use when

A team is tying its customer promise to a technology, channel, or market plan that may change before the promise has had time to mean anything.

Inputs

Write the promise as a customer consequence that can survive a change of tools or channels.
Name the current bet separately, including what it is meant to prove and what it must not compromise.
Set a review trigger: a customer signal, market change, or evidence threshold that reopens the bet while leaving the promise intact.

Produces

A durable promise with a visible, revisable method rather than a slogan welded to this season's machinery.
