Where your value diverges

Each line is a value curve across the factors the category competes on. Where your curve pulls away from the field's (dashed) is your blue ocean — the part of the offer rivals can't cheaply match. Where the field is higher, that's their ground; ceding it is a choice, not a loss.

Where your curve pulls off the field on your bet — the part rivals can't cheaply copy. Widen it.

The incumbents' strengths. Matching them is a war of attrition you lose — cede on purpose, fund the blue ocean.

The call

Your value curve separates from the field where you bet — Editor (In your editor), Splits (Deep persistence). That's the blue ocean; make it sharper and louder. Don't spend a sprint closing the Price / Maturity gap with the field — you won't win it, and it's not your table.
