## 📚 About the IMPACT Framework

The IMPACT framework was developed by Shashwat Ghosh based on 24+ years of B2B marketing experience. It addresses the common failure mode of B2B positioning: starting with features instead of market hypotheses.

**Key Principles:**
- Hypothesis-driven: Test assumptions before committing
- Outside-in: Start with customer, not product
- Iterative: Refine based on market feedback
- Execution-focused: Bridge strategy to implementation
