DIY Positioning vs Structured Clarity Framework
You can iterate on your own or follow a framework. Both work; the choice depends on time and bias.
The framing
DIY: you write, ship, and learn from response. Framework: you fill in a structure that enforces outcome, constraint, and proof.
Why it matters
DIY is fast but easy to stay vague. A framework forces one outcome and one proof—which is what converts.
Side by side
| | DIY | Framework | | Speed | Fast first draft | Slower first draft | | Consistency | Variable | Enforces clarity | | Bias | Your blind spots | Structure reduces blind spots |

Balanced perspective
Use DIY when you're testing and iterating. Use a framework when you're stuck in vague or when one clear artifact (e.g. profile, homepage) has to convert.
