# Icp Definition

> Define a crisp Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) — firmographics, technographics, triggers, disqualifiers — through a structured interview. Use when the user says "define my ICP", "who should I sell to", or "tighten my targeting". Required before any outbound campaign.

# ICP Definition

Force specificity. A good ICP reads like a stencil — you should look at a LinkedIn profile and know within 10 seconds whether it matches.

## Workflow

1. **Start with wins, not guesses.** Ask the user to list their 5–10 best current customers by: NRR, product usage, reference-ability, speed-to-close. If they have < 3 customers, switch to "design partner profile" mode.
2. **Extract the pattern** across those wins by asking:
   - What trigger caused them to buy *now*? (funding, hire, regulation, failure)
   - Who championed internally? (title + seniority + prior experience)
   - What was broken before? (in one specific sentence, their words)
   - What size/stage/vertical?
   - What tech/tools were already in place?
3. **Write the ICP doc** to `./icp.md`:

```
# ICP — <Product>

## One-line
We sell to <role> at <company type> when <trigger>.

## Firmographics
- Employees: <tight range>
- Revenue/stage: …
- Industry: <specific verticals, not "B2B SaaS">
- Geography: …

## Technographics / stack
Must have: <X>
Must not have: <Y>

## Champion persona
- Title(s): …
- Seniority: …
- Prior experience / background: …
- What they're measured on: …
- What they read / where they hang out: …

## Buying trigger (leading indicators)
1. …
2. …
3. …

## Disqualifiers (hard no)
- <company stage / size>
- <compliance blocker>
- <tech incompatibility>

## Pain — verbatim
"<how a champion describes the problem>"

## Proof points that land
- <metric>: <case study>
- <testimonial from lookalike>
```

## Disqualifier rule

Every ICP must have ≥ 3 disqualifiers. If the user can't name them, the ICP isn't tight yet — keep probing.

## Guardrails

- Reject vague categories ("mid-market", "technical buyers") — push for title strings and employee numbers.
- If there's no clear trigger, the motion is probably pull-based (inbound) not push-based (outbound) — flag it.
- Revisit the ICP every quarter as win data accumulates.
