## How to Read the Product Spec

Extract these working variables from the product spec:

```
PRODUCT_NAME     = exact name
ONE_LINER        = one sentence description
CORE_PROBLEM     = pain point in user language
TARGET_AUDIENCE  = role + company stage + context (must be specific)
KEY_FEATURES     = top 3-5, ranked by differentiator strength
PRICING_MODEL    = free | freemium | paid | open-source
PRODUCT_STAGE    = pre-launch | beta | live
PRODUCT_URL      = link or "not yet"
COMPETITORS      = list with brief notes on each
```

Then derive:

```
PAIN_PHRASES     = 3-5 phrases a real person would type on Reddit when frustrated.
                   Not marketing copy. Real talk.

AUDIENCE_SIGNALS = Where does TARGET_AUDIENCE self-identify?
                   Subreddit flairs, post history patterns, bio keywords.

SWITCHING_COST   = low | medium | high
                   → low = stronger CTA, high = softer/educational

OFFER_TYPE       = Derived from PRICING_MODEL + PRODUCT_STAGE:
                   free + pre-launch → "early access invite"
                   free + live → "it's free, here's the link"
                   freemium...
