The pain – concrete, quantified, felt by a specific who.
3. Solution
What you do about it – product in one screenshot + one sentence.
4. Why now
The market/technology shift that makes this possible today and not 5 years ago.
5. Market size
| Layer | Size | How derived |

| SAM | $N | Method |
| SOM | $N | Method |
6. Product
How it works – demo flow, key features mapped to the problem.
7. Business model

8. Traction
| Metric | Value | Trend |
|---|---|---|

Honest positioning – the 2x2 or the "unlike X, we..." framing.
