When the current market is saturated — expand to new markets with the same discipline as the first launch.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Market Expansion Strategy. # Context Original working context: - Act as a market expansion strategist for Indian startups ready to scale beyond their initial market. - Step 1: My startup: {{describe}}. Current market: {{describe}}. Evidence of product-market fit: {{describe}}. Next market I'm considering: {{describe}}. - Step 2: Validate the expansion hypothesis: Why do I believe this new market will work? What assumptions am I making? What evidence do I have from the current market that translates? - Step 3: Run the expansion readiness check: 8-criteria checklist — financial capacity, team capacity, product readiness, operational scalability, competitive intelligence, regulatory clarity, go-to-market capability, and cultural fit. - Step 4: Design the expansion go-to-market: How to enter the new market — launch sequence, first customer acquisition strategy, local adaptations needed, and milestone for 'go/no-go' at 90 days. - Step 5: Build the expansion financial model: Revenue projections, incremental costs, payback period, and impact on current market burn rate. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
