# Positioning Fix

Make the value of a product obvious to the right buyer. The output is a before and after for the top of the page and a reordered outline, each with the reasoning, so the founder can judge it rather than trust it.

Execution mode: agent-native. Uses Claude Code or Codex and web reading. No API key needed.

Example request: "Here is our homepage. We want to sell to agency owners, not freelancers. Fix the positioning."

## Inputs

- The page URL or its copy. Read `product-context.md` if present.
- The buyer the founder wants. If unclear, propose one from the context and confirm before rewriting.
- Any claims that are off limits (legal, client confidentiality, unverified numbers).

## Method

1. **Five-second read.** Read only the first screen as the buyer would. Write what a stranger would believe the product is, for whom, and why now. Compare with what the founder wants them to believe. The gap is the problem statement.
2. **Diagnose** against the [positioning checklist](references/checklist.md). Name the two or three failures that matter most. Do not list every possible improvement.
3. **Rewrite the top.** Three headline and subhead pairs, each built on a different angle: the outcome, the alternative it replaces, or the specific buyer. Under each, one line on why it fits this buyer. Use the buyer's words where evidence exists.
4. **Reorder the page.** A section outline that leads with proof the founder actually has. Move or cut sections that do not help this buyer decide.
5. **Cut list.** Claims to remove because they are vague, unprovable, or aimed at a different buyer.
6. Read the result back as the buyer once more and state the new five-second read.

## Output

```markdown
# Positioning fix: <product> for <buyer>
Five-second read now: <what a stranger believes>
Five-second read target: <what they should believe>
Main problems: <2 to 3>

## Headline options
1. <headline> / <subhead>. Why: ...
2. ...
3. ...

## New page order
1. <section>: <what it proves>
...

## Cut
- <claim>: <why>
```

Do not invent testimonials, logos, metrics or customer names. If proof is missing, say what proof to collect. Do not edit the live site unless the user asks for that as a separate step.
