Technical Founders Can't Translate Shipped Features Into Customer-Language Positioning

Summary
Founders who build fast with AI agents describe their product in the language of the software — 'AI menu extraction,' 'automatic translations,' 'analytics,' 'digital loyalty' — instead of the language of the customer's job to be done. To a restaurant owner working a 12-hour shift, those feature nouns are effectively meaningless, so even a working product produces no recognition, no clicks, and no users. The founder then cannot tell whether the real bottleneck is the product, the audience, the landing page, or simply the words — and burns weeks rewriting copy by guesswork. No lightweight, systematic tool exists for a solo builder to convert a raw feature list into positioning and messaging a non-technical buyer instantly understands and acts on; existing help is either generic advice ('know your customer', 'talk to users') or expensive positioning consultants/agencies that indie founders cannot afford. This is a high-intensity, largely unsolved GTM gap that directly blocks acquiring the first paying users, and it is exactly the kind of channel-ready transformation a GTM coaching skill would need to perform.
