Pressure-test every product-marketing claim by asking whether a competitor could plausibly promote the opposite. If not, the claim is probably generic; replace it with a specific feature, customer outcome, or trade-off that distinguishes your product.
Table-stakes claims consume attention without giving customers a reason to choose you. Clear, defensible differentiation makes positioning more memorable and purchasing decisions easier.
Review your homepage bullets: For each one, write its opposite and ask, “Would a credible competitor ever claim this?” If the answer is no, rewrite the bullet around a concrete capability, outcome, or deliberate trade-off.
