# 3. Iterate with the AI meaningfully. Don't just ask for changes - tell it WHY you're ma
## Claim
If your next positioning process doesn't start with AI, you're wasting at least 3 days. If it ends with AI, it's slop passing as strategy. I ran an experiment: I gave an AI three docs from a real company. I gave it no brief, and no other guidance.

## Mechanism
It chose a 'teal' color for brand identity because the reasoning chain said "trust and engineering precision"

## Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

## Evidence
> "3. Iterate with the AI meaningfully. Don't just ask for changes - tell it WHY you're making changes. Teach it strategic principles, not just execution."
