Across GTM diagnostics, patterns repeat.
Not because companies are similar — but because GTM systems tend to fail in predictable ways when they evolve without design.
- ICP definitions vary by route
- Differentiation is inconsistent
- Targeting expands faster than capability
Impact:
Win rates plateau despite increased activity
- Demand volume exists, but routing is inconsistent
- Partners are recruited without activation design
- Early-stage leakage goes unmeasured
Impact:
Pipeline looks healthy but fails to convert
- Pipeline is not segmented by route
- Quotas are set without architectural grounding
- Forecasts depend on hope rather than math
Impact:
Volatility increases as scale increases
- Onboarding varies by deal source
- Capacity constraints surface post-sale
- Churn offsets growth
Impact:
New revenue fails to compound
- Metrics exist but do not reconcile
- Leadership debates persist without resolution
- Prioritization becomes reactive
Impact:
Capital is deployed without confidence
