Product-Market Fit Expansion
A product will hit initial product-market fit. Then, through feature work, growth work, and scaling work, the team works hard to fulfill and incrementally expand the potential of the initial product-market fit. But at some point growth of the product slows down as it hits some type of saturation.
To continue to fuel growth of the organization, product-market fit needs to be expanded in a non-incremental way. Product-market fit expansion is not about iteration – it's about creating more value by significantly expanding into adjacent products or markets by taking larger bets.

The reason people make this mistake? Few have discovered AI’s premier use case: as a thought partner.
I’ve personally taught more than 2,000 early adopters about AI (and Section has taught over 15,000). Most of them use AI as an assistant — summarizing documents or contracts, writing first drafts, transcribing or translating documents, etc.
But very few people are using AI to “think.” When I talk to those who do, they share that use case almost like a secret. They’re amazed AI can act as a trusted adviser — and reliably gut-check decisions, pre-empt the boss’s feedback, or outline options.
