Marketplace Claw Strategy Builder
Pick an incumbent, choose the weak spot, spend 10 attack points across two or more claws, and get a sharper marketplace wedge.
Click any incumbent to load a working example. Then narrow the weak spot, spend exactly 10 attack points across at least two claws, and watch the wedge sharpen live.

5. Wedge
Step 1
Pick the incumbent
Step 2
Choose where it is too generic
Pick one weak zone. The narrower the attack surface, the easier it is to design a real wedge.
Step 3
Spend 10 attack points
Use at least two claws. One sharp claw creates pressure. The second one makes the wedge harder to flatten.
Niche
Focus on one segment where the incumbent feels too generic.
Trust
Use verification, guarantees, or stronger trust signals.
Distribution
Own a channel the incumbent does not control directly.
Supply quality
Make the supply obviously better, tighter, or more specialist.
Workflow
Change how the transaction happens, not just how it looks.
Community
Use social density, creator pull, or a tight user network.
Operations
Win through service quality, responsiveness, or execution discipline.
Pricing
Use fee design or packaging to support the wedge, not replace it.
