Definition
Value proposition design is the process of creating compelling value propositions for customers. It belongs in the conversation about who pays, why they pay, and how the company captures that value. 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.
Two cofounders disagree until they define Value proposition design. Once they agree it means “Process of creating compelling value propositions for customers”, the argument becomes a decision.
Common mistake
Using Value proposition design 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.
