Tier A · TL;DR
Product pivots must align product and positioning simultaneously.

Claim

Most companies decide to pivot, set a product launch date, then 'iterate' positioning later—and wonder why sellers, customers, and marketing are misaligned.

Mechanism

Positioning defines the product and the product defines positioning. Building them together creates a narrow, opinionated direction that makes marketing more targeted, sales more confident, and insights faster.
