# Strategies: Product-Market Fit

Guides product-market fit (PMF) validation and measurement. PMF occurs when a product precisely meets market needs, creating widespread demand. ~99% of startups fail primarily due to PMF issues (vitamin problems, premature scaling). Use this skill when validating before scaling, measuring PMF, or diagnosing traction problems.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Definition

**Product-market fit** (Marc Andreessen): "Being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market."

**Signals**: Customers buying rapidly; usage growing; word-of-mouth spreading organically; high retention, low churn.
