Validate Market Gtm

Stage 4 of the validation pipeline — market and go-to-market viability. Use to size the market (TAM/SAM/SOM), pick a beachhead, and pressure-test positioning against incumbents. Triggers when the orchestrator routes to MARKET_GTM. Apply the red-team lens here. Always run before committing to a business model.

Market & GTM (Stage 4)

Is there a winnable market and a credible way in? Read dossier-schema.md if needed. Write only into the Dossier. Apply the red-team lens (../../lenses/red-team.md). Do not render.

Procedure

TAM / SAM / SOM — total, serviceable, and realistically obtainable. SOM honesty matters more than a big TAM.
Beachhead — name one narrow, reachable segment to win first (Crossing the Chasm). A diffuse "everyone" is a red flag.
Positioning — state what it is, who it's for, and why it beats the obvious alternative (April Dunford style). Must be defensible against incumbents, not just different.
Channel-fit (see ../../lenses/marketing-strategy.md): match channels to ICP behavior, and estimate expected CAC per channel — some channels structurally can't hit payback; flag those.
Red-team the GTM: where does the channel break, where do incumbents crush on price/scale? Record into lenses.red_team.
Five Forces (chỉ khi tag competitive_landscape bật — xem ../../lens-registry.md; tag tắt → không gọi, không ghi gì): assess cấu trúc ngành theo ../../lenses/porter.md, ghi lenses.porter (attached_to_stage: 4). Hợp với quyết định vào thị trường mới / chọn beachhead / định vị chạm trực tiếp đối thủ.

Gate

G4.1 — Reachable beachhead + viable GTM motion + defensible positioning? Score 0..1. threshold: 0.65. Unproven channel against strong incumbents → REVIEW_NEEDED.

G4.2 — Moat / defensibility: is there a durable advantage a better-resourced competitor can't easily copy once this works (data, network effects, switching cost, regulatory/local edge, distribution)? Score 0..1. threshold: 0.6. "We'll move faster" is not a moat — flag low if no structural defensibility.
