Claim
Babe, wake up! There's a new software in town that can do what your existing software does, but with more ✨ease✨. Every few weeks there’s a new “must-try” design tool. And suddenly my feed is full of creators saying, “I don’t know how I lived without this.” Really?
Mechanism
Why am I learning something I don’t need… just because everyone on my feed is excited about it?
Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.
