Core ideas
What is worth remembering after you close the page
01
Purpose creates coherence
A clear why can connect decisions that otherwise look like unrelated tactics.
02
Trust comes from consistency
Purpose matters only when behavior repeatedly matches the claim.
03
People interpret meaning
Features explain what exists; meaning helps people decide why it matters to them.
03
Turn it into action
Three things to test today
- 1

- 2
Find one current action that contradicts that purpose.
- 3
Rewrite one product message from benefit to belief and back it with evidence.
