The Restate Framework / Stage 02
Stage 02 of 06 · Follow the right signals
Tension.
What is nobody saying out loud?
The thing your market feels but nobody is saying out loud.
The stage, in three
Market reality. Felt pressure. Principle at stake.
- 1
Market reality
What's happening out there. The facts, deadlines and constraints the audience lives with.
- 2
Felt pressure
How it sits with the people living it. What nobody says in the meeting.
- 3
Principle at stake
What should be different. The belief that makes the current situation feel wrong.
The test
Could your tension be dropped into another sector unchanged? Then it is a platitude.
Without it
Content stays informational. Accurate, polite and forgotten the moment it's read.
With it
A named tension, on all three levels, in the audience's language.
Questions we ask in the room
- What's the biggest frustration in your market right now?
- What do customers say when they think nobody's listening?
- What should be true about your sector that isn't?
- What keeps your buyers up at night, beyond price?
