Definition
Alternate delivery is the different method of providing products or services to customers. Founders reach for it when a vague conversation needs a shared, specific meaning. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.
In the room
How the word shows up in a real conversation.
You know Alternate delivery is doing work when it changes a weekly choice — price, hire, channel, or kill. The working definition: Different method of providing products or services to customers.
Common mistake
Using Alternate delivery as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
