What you learn from the second market

2026-10-19 · InfoGap

Why the first market flatters

Because you were there. You answered questions, adjusted wording, and absorbed context that the product does not contain. The first market succeeds partly through you.

What the second exposes

Every place where the product relied on your presence. The parts that transfer are the parts that were genuinely product; the rest was service wearing a product's clothes.

How to choose the second

Adjacent, not distant. A market that shares the problem but not the vocabulary will show you which parts of your language were universal.

The payoff

After two markets, you can describe the product without reference to either. That description is the beginning of something that scales.
