30 minutes - Founder led - No generic playbook
start with the evidence
Early traction contains signals. The challenge is recognizing them.
Some customers moved quickly. Some took months. Some became champions. Some expanded. Others stalled.

Those experiences contain evidence about who needs you, what makes them act, why they buy and what becomes sticky after the sale.
the question
What has the market already taught you?
Square Parallel helps separate assumptions from customer evidence—and identify what may be ready to become repeatable.
the customer signal model
Seven signals that reveal how your enterprise motion may need to evolve.
Customer Pattern
Which customers show the strongest fit—and what do they actually have in common?
Buyer & Champion
Who creates momentum, who owns the problem and who ultimately says yes?
Buying Motion
How do successful deals actually progress from first conversation to decision?
Stickiness
What drives adoption, expansion, advocacy—and makes customers reluctant to give the product up?
Problem & Urgency
What was happening inside the customer that made doing nothing unacceptable?
Value Signal
What business outcome—not simply product capability—justified the investment?
Friction
Where do deals slow down, stall or disappear—and why?
