How to Use Them

Start with the Canvas if you are still putting your category story into words. Start with the Assessment if you already have a story and want to know whether it is working fast enough.

Either way, the method behind both tools is explained on the Method page, and new essays on category design and go-to-market arrive through the newsletter.
