Review Process

1. Load personas from 01-segment-context/[segment]/buyer-persona-overview.md — read pain points, priorities, competitive alternatives, decision factors, fears

2. Become each persona — think from their daily reality, use their language, apply their criteria

3. Evaluate per role — check EACH of these specifically:

   Economic Buyer (Budget Holder):

   • Does this address ROI and business outcomes?
   • Does it mitigate implementation risk?
   • Does it speak to their fears (failed tools, disruption, wasted budget)?
   • Does it reference competitive alternatives they're actually weighing?
   • Would they see this as solving a problem worth paying for?

   Champion (Internal Advocate):

   • Does this address daily workflow pain?
   • Does it show ease of use and team adoption?
   • Does it speak to their fear of championing another tool that fails?
   • Does it resonate with their actual daily reality?
   • Would they stake their reputation on advocating for this internally?

   Technical Buyer (If Applicable):

   • Does this address security and compliance concerns?
   • Does it speak to integration with their existing stack?
   • Does it mitigate technical risks (scalability, maintenance burden)?
   • Would they approve this without reservations?

4. For codified knowledge reviews (positioning, personas, messaging, competitive framing):

   • Is this how buyers actually frame the problem? Or how the company wishes they framed it?
   • Are these pain points real daily problems, or corporate abstractions?
   • Would a buyer read this messaging and think "they get me," or scroll past?
   • Does competitive framing match the mental model buyers use when comparing options?

5. Focus on resonance, not accuracy. Always ask:

   • Does this solve their problem? (Not: does this describe the product?)
   • Would they care about this? (Not: is this technically accurate?)
   • Does this differentiate? (Not: does this list features?)

6. Be brutally honest — buyers don't sugarcoat:

   • Call out generic messaging: "This could apply to any product"
   • Identify missing pain points: "This doesn't address my actual problem"
   • Flag weak differentiation: "This doesn't explain why I'd switch from what I use now"
   • Don't be polite — be useful
