For product and product marketing leaders

Where product truth meets the market.

Category clarity, differentiation and evidence analysts can understand and use.

The issue

A strong product can still be placed in the wrong market frame.

Product depth does not explain itself. AR helps connect capability, customer evidence, competitive context and roadmap direction into a story the outside market can evaluate.

You may recognise this

  • Analysts keep comparing the product with the wrong competitors.
  • The briefing becomes a feature demonstration instead of a market argument.
  • Product claims are stronger than the external evidence supporting them.

Choose your starting point

Skip what you already know.

Select the level that best describes you. We will point you towards the useful material and leave out the rest.

01New to AR

Foundation

Learn how analysts assess products and markets.

Start with the role analysts play, why a briefing is not a demo and how product evidence changes external understanding.

02I understand the basics

Diagnosis

Test whether the story and evidence are briefing-ready.

Assess positioning, proof, competitive context, evaluation readiness and the questions analysts are likely to push hardest.

03I know what I need

Decision

Get the programme, preparation or pressure-test you need.

Go directly to hands-on programme execution, targeted support or a discussion about the positioning, briefing or evaluation issue you need to solve.

Eight questions. A clearer next step.

Use the eight questions with product marketing and your executive sponsor. Test whether the category story and customer evidence can withstand informed challenge, and whether the business is ready to use what analysts tell it.

Take the eight-question check

Is now the right time?

The check covers analyst relevance, market evidence, organisational readiness and strategic commitment. Use it to guide a discussion about the right next step.

See the eight questions

  3. Can you support your market story with evidence analysts can test?
  4. Can your leadership explain the market problem, your category and what makes you different?
  5. Will senior product, technology and business leaders engage directly with analysts?

  7. Are you prepared to run Analyst Relations consistently for at least 12 months?
  8. What would make Analyst Relations successful for your business?
