# Six-stage product mapping (independently authored)
Public description: https://www.monetise.com/archives/misc/join. Do not reproduce closed course text, templates or prompts.

Stage A - User capability/value zone: what the maker or approved creator demonstrably knows, supported assets, uncertainty and target person.
Stage B - Buyer journey: before state, trigger, job, existing workarounds, purchase circumstances, desired after state; evidence vs guess.
Stage C - Market alternatives: analyze paid alternatives, relevant prices and reviews with links/dates, feature gaps and distribution, not copying.
Stage D - Five-step transformation: define five learner/user milestones that create measurable progress, from diagnostic to practice and independent use. For each: problem, task, tool, proof of result, time estimate.
Stage E - Minimum product architecture: choose delivery format, lesson/section structure, price hypothesis, product promise, scope exclusions, creator review and acceptance criteria.
Stage F - Original tools/worksheets: at least one usable worksheet, calculator, checklist or editable artifact, instructions, example data, test report, known limitations.

Gate: stage C must reveal nontrivial opportunity, stage D must be feasible for beginner, stage F tested by user representative. Label paid-demand unproven until commitments exist.
