Founder moves to consider
- • Start the next support and service complaints interview batch around "FYI: Dreamina is shady; do not use" so you preserve the exact complaint language before summarizing it away.
- • Compare the top switching signal, "I want to build an OTT app. Where should I start?", against your current positioning to see whether buyers are asking for a simpler alternative or a more trusted one.
- • Use "Franz 6" to pressure-test whether the wedge is really about product breadth or about fixing one visible competitor weakness better than anyone else.
