Organic Growth Advisor

A fast triage tool for product teams stuck between growth options. It walks you through three questions to diagnose whether your constraint lives in customer reach, market context, product capability, or distribution access, then maps you to one of four McKinsey Growth Pyramid paths: new segments, geographies, channels, or products. The framework is deliberately narrow. It skips retention work and strategic pivots to focus on the middle layers where most product teams actually operate. Use it when multiple growth paths seem viable and you need to pick one to test first, or when stakeholder debate needs a fast resolution point. It won't replace discovery, but it will tell you where to point the discovery work.

Purpose

Help product managers identify which organic growth path to pursue by diagnosing where the constraint actually lives. This is not a comprehensive strategy tool. It is a fast triage that puts you in the right lane before you start building hypotheses or running experiments.

The four growth paths covered here are drawn from the McKinsey Growth Pyramid (Levels 2 through 5). Levels 1, 6, and 7 are out of scope: Level 1 (existing products to existing customers) is a retention and optimization problem, not a growth motion. Levels 6 and 7 (new industry structure, new arenas) require capital and executive mandate beyond typical product team scope.

This skill does three things and nothing more:

Diagnoses where your growth constraint lives using two questions
Places your situation on the Growth Path Matrix (customer/market context vs. degree of product change)
Recommends one growth path with rationale, a diagnostic question, and a first experiment
