Positioning defines how your product is the best in the world at delivering some value that a well-defined set of customers care a lot about.
The core insight: Positioning is not messaging. It's not your tagline. It's the fundamental strategic decision about how you win in the market — what you compete against, how you're different, what value only you can deliver, and who cares most about that value.

Use when asked to "position my product", "positioning canvas", "differentiate from competitors", "figure out our category", "repositioning", or "why customers should pick us". Helps define competitive alternatives, differentiated value, target customers, and market category. April Dunford's positioning framework from "Obviously Awesome" makes your product's value obvious to the right customers. Source: pmprompt/claude-plugin-product-management.
