The Six Documented Failure Patterns

01
The Painless Product

Built because it could be, not because the pain is documented and urgent.

02
The Invisible Buyer

A persona that describes demographics but not a reachable, budget-holding human.

03
The Broken Funnel

No clear path from stranger to paying customer before the first pound is spent.

04
The Feature Without a Job

The product solves a problem no one is actively trying to solve right now.

05
The Crowded Lane

Entering a market with no differentiation and no clear reason to switch.

06
The Regulatory Blindspot

Commercial model depends on a regulatory or compliance assumption that has not been tested.
