Customer logic
The value proposition no longer matches the customer problem, willingness to pay or buying behaviour.
PROBLEM DETAIL · BUSINESS MODEL
The business model no longer fits.
When customers, channels, costs, capabilities or competitive conditions change, the model that once worked can become a constraint. The first step is not to redesign the business blindly; it is to understand what stopped fitting and why.
Diagnosis
The visible symptom is rarely the whole problem.
A weak margin, slowing growth or customer churn may look like isolated problems. But the underlying constraint can sit in the relationship between the customer promise, the delivery system and the economics of the model.
Where can the model stop fitting?
Start by locating the broken link instead of changing everything at once.
Value delivery
The way value is delivered has become expensive, slow, complex or difficult to scale.
Value capture
Revenue, pricing or margin logic no longer supports the cost and capability structure.
Strategic fit
The model is still optimised for a market, technology or strategy that has already changed.
A business model is a connected logic, not a checklist.
Changing one component can create a new constraint somewhere else. That is why redesign starts by making the relationships visible.

Questions worth answering first.
Good redesign questions reduce noise before they produce solutions.
01
What changed in the environment, customer behaviour or economics?
→
02
Which part of the current model is still working—and which part is breaking?
→
03
Which assumptions about customers, channels, pricing or costs are no longer reliable?
→
04
Is the problem local to one component, or created by the relationship between components?
→
05
What would have to be true for an alternative model to work?
→
06
What evidence should be tested before making a larger commitment?
→From diagnosis to a redesign worth testing.
The goal is not to create a perfect model on paper. It is to create a coherent option whose critical assumptions can be tested.
01
Frame the problem
02
Map the current model
03
Identify broken assumptions
04
Design alternatives
05
Test critical hypotheses
06
Decide and learn
What should come out of the work?
The output is decision-ready clarity—not a longer document.
Model clarity
A shared picture of how the business creates, delivers and captures value.
Strategic choices
Explicit choices about customers, channels, capabilities and economics.
Testable hypotheses
The assumptions that should be validated before major investment.
Redesign options
A small set of coherent alternatives rather than an unstructured list of ideas.

NEXT STEP
You can analyse the model. Or we can examine the problem together.
For a real situation, the next step is to frame the problem, identify the critical relationships and decide what is worth testing.
