Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a differentiation scorer?
A differentiation tool asks which feature makes you stand out. This tool asks the opposite question — which features are expected baseline capabilities whose absence would actively cost you deals.
What counts as high 'noticeability'?
Direct complaints, deal losses, or repeated requests tied specifically to that feature being missing — not just general interest.
Can a feature be both table-stakes and a differentiator?
Rarely — once most competitors offer something, it stops differentiating you and becomes the cost of entry instead.
Should I build every must-have feature immediately?
Prioritize them ahead of nice-to-haves, but still sequence by build effort and the size of the deals it's blocking.
