Problem

IK already had resume demand; the assessment asked how to GTM a resume-review tool so it becomes a lead engine instead of a buried dashboard feature.

Decisions

  1. Position the tool as a scored FAANG-readiness artifact, not generic proofreading.
  2. Put distribution on the marketing site first, product-led, then upsell the course.

Outcomes

  • Separated user research, packaging, and channel: who needs the review, what proof to show, and where it sits on the site.
  • Tied GTM to webinar and paid acquisition so the tool captures intent before the high-friction call.
