Task Packs

Marketing Foundation

Compact two-skill starter: clarify positioning and choose a lead magnet. Use Marketing Launch for the broader eight-skill go-to-market workflow.

Marketing Launch

Build an evidence-led marketing plan from ICP and competition through positioning, campaigns, growth and measurement.

Agent Audit Essentials

Diagnose architecture and context, plan agent-team responsibilities, then organize project context and session handoffs. Memory and cost-runtime reviews remain outside this pack.

Conversion and Activation Review

Review the journey from landing page and lead capture through registration, first value and transparent upgrades.

Campaign Content and Brand Review

Plan a campaign, draft its channel content and review the work against actual brand guidance.

Content and Launch Planning

Prioritize an editorial roadmap and plan how to launch and distribute it across suitable channels.

Customer, Market and Community Research

Understand customer needs, compare competitors and plan a community around real member value.

Lead Magnet to Lifecycle Nurture

Choose a relevant lead magnet, then draft a permission-based nurture journey with entry, suppression and exit rules.

API Contract and Observability

Define the API contract, then plan how to observe its latency, failures and retries. Guidance and checklist; no production changes.

Data Analysis Foundation

Profile a dataset, choose and interpret statistical methods, then validate calculations and conclusions before sharing.

# International Expansion

Frameworks for expanding into new markets: selection, entry, localization, and execution.

## Keywords
international expansion, market entry, localization, go-to-market, GTM, regional strategy, international markets, market selection, cross-border, global expansion

## Quick Start

**Decision sequence:** Market selection → Entry mode → Regulatory assessment → Localization plan → GTM strategy → Team structure → Launch.

## Market Selection Framework

### Scoring Matrix
| Factor | Weight | How to Assess |
|--------|--------|---------------|
| Market size (addressable) | 25% | TAM in target segment, willingness to pay |
| Competitive intensity | 20% | Incumbent strength, market gaps |
| Regulatory complexity | 20% | Barriers to entry, compliance cost, timeline |
| Cultural distance | 15% | Language, business practices, buying behavior |
| Existing traction | 10% | Inbound demand, existing customers, partnerships |
| Operational complexity | 10% | Time zones, infrastructure, payment systems |

### Entry Modes
| Mode | Investment | Control | Risk | Best For |
|------|-----------|---------|------|----------|
| **Export** (sell remotely) | Low | Low | Low | Testing demand |
| **Partnership** (reseller/distributor) | Medium | Medium | Medium | Markets with strong local requirements |
| **Local team** (hire in-market) | High | High | High | Strategic markets with proven demand |
| **Entity** (full subsidiary) | Very high | Full | High | Major markets, regulatory requirement |
| **Acquisition** | Highest | Full | Highest | Fast market entry with existing base |

**Default path:** Export → Partnership → Local team → Entity (graduate as revenue justifies).

## Localization Checklist

### Product
- [ ] Language (UI, documentation, support content)
- [ ] Currency and pricing (local pricing, not just conversion)
- [ ] Payment methods (varies wildly by market)
- [ ] Date/time/number formats
- [ ] Legal requirements (data residency, privacy)
- [ ] Cultural adaptation (not just translation)

### Go-to-Market
- [ ] Messaging adaptation (what resonates locally)
- [ ] Channel strategy (channels differ by market)
- [ ] Local case studies and social proof
- [ ] Local partnerships and integrations
- [ ] Event/conference presence
- [ ] Local SEO and content

### Operations
- [ ] Legal entity (if required)
- [ ] Tax compliance
- [ ] Employment law (if hiring locally)
- [ ] Customer support (hours, language)
- [ ] Banking and payments

## Key Questions

- "Is there pull from the market, or are we pushing?"
- "What's the cost of entry vs the 3-year revenue opportunity?"
- "Can we serve this market from HQ, or do we need boots on the ground?"
- "What's the regulatory timeline? Can we launch before the paperwork is done?"
- "Who's winning in this market and what would it take to displace them?"

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Why It Happens | Prevention |
|---------|---------------|------------|
| Entering too many markets at once | FOMO, board pressure | Max 1-2 new markets per year |
| Copy-paste GTM from home market | Assuming buyers are the same | Research local buying behavior |
| Underestimating regulatory cost | "We'll figure it out" | Regulatory assessment BEFORE committing |
| Hiring too early | Optimism | Prove demand before hiring local team |
| Wrong pricing (just converting) | Laziness | Research willingness to pay locally |

## Integration with C-Suite Roles

| Role | Contribution |
|------|-------------|
| CEO | Market selection, strategic commitment |
| CFO | Investment sizing, ROI modeling, entity structure |
| CRO | Revenue targets, sales model adaptation |
| CMO | Positioning, channel strategy, local brand |
| CPO | Localization roadmap, feature priorities |
| CTO | Infrastructure, data residency, scaling |
| CHRO | Local hiring, employment law, comp |
| COO | Operations setup, process adaptation |
