- Existing analysis, definitions, assumptions, examples, and review criteria that the framework must reconcile.
Tasks and expected outputs

Practical example
Use it with an agent
Load the bundle as context, provide the evidence named above, then adapt this example to your situation.
Provide the decision or question, available evidence, operating constraints, affected stakeholders, and desired outcome. Ask the agent to apply Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning and produce STP strategy and evidence brief that shows how evidence maps to the framework, where judgment is required, and what remains unresolved. Begin with openstax.org — Pages / 5 In The Spotlight, then confirm that the reference is current and applicable. Inspect Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning Source-Aware Application Framework before drafting.

Limitations and safe use
Do not use this for
- Applying the framework mechanically when the decision requires missing evidence, stakeholder judgment, or qualified review.
Known limitations
- Use the cited official or primary sources for general market segmentation and positioning strategy context; local facts, configuration, records, values, states, and permissions require inspected evidence.
- Task-specific work requires current evidence for market definition and research sources, segmentation variables, method, data, and recency, segment measurability, differentiation, accessibility, substance, and actionability, targeting criteria, resources, risks, and exclusions, positioning, value proposition, alternatives, and reasons to believe, and ethics, privacy, fairness, testing, and approval evidence.
- Do not infer segment validity, segment size, customer need, target attractiveness, competitive position, and message effect.
Safety notes
- Minimize personal, customer, employee, financial, credential, and other sensitive data.
- Require explicit confirmation before launching targeting or campaigns, using sensitive traits, committing spend, making unsupported claims, or applying discriminatory exclusions.
- Route legal, privacy, security, compliance, financial, employment, safety, and other qualified judgments to accountable reviewers.
