most product stories are written too late.
Most businesses build the product first and define the story later.
By that point the meaning of the product is already constrained.
The product exists.
The positioning is fixed.
The narrative becomes an afterthought.
The most successful products follow a different path.
Their narrative is designed while the product is still being built.
the provenance system
Provenance Strategy uses three connected frameworks to design both the product and the story behind it.
Together they form a structured approach to story-first product development.
the framework
STORY-FIRST PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:
Designing the meaning of a product as it is being built.
PRODUCT NARRATIVE ARCHITECTURE:
Structuring the strategic narrative that gives a product clarity and differentiation.
LAUNCH NARRATIVE FRAMEWORK:
Translating product narrative into market understanding and adaption.
Products Shape Markets.
Narratives Shape Products.
