The Intelligent GTM Framework
Eight stages. One connected system.
Tap a node, use the arrow keys, or let it turn on its own. Each stage exits into something you can hold.
Stage 01 of 08
Discover
Understand the business and the commercial bottleneck.
What happens
We start with the objective, not the tools: what you sell, who buys, where, why, and what your funnel looks like today.
You get
A clear problem statement and success measures.
The number someone owns
Problem statement and success measure agreed in writing Owner: Executive sponsor
Stage 02 of 08
Map
Market → ICP → accounts → personas → signals.
What happens
Markets, ICP, account lists, personas, buying signals and scoring, built from real research.

A prioritized account map with context per account.
The number someone owns
Share of priority accounts with a named stakeholder Owner: GTM lead
Stage 03 of 08
Design
Build the GTM architecture.

A written blueprint: scope, priorities, system design.
The number someone owns
Blueprint signed off: scope, priorities, system design Owner: GTM lead + RevOps

Automate
n8n → APIs → Python → AI → MCPs → CRM.
What happens
Repetitive research, enrichment, scoring and routing become workflows, with human review where judgment matters.

Outbound → ABM → events → market expansion.

The number someone owns

Stage 07 of 08
Optimize
Test → learn → refine.
What happens
What converts is doubled down on; what doesn’t is cut — markets, personas, messages and signals.

Refined targeting and messaging every cycle.
The number someone owns
Reply-to-meeting rate improvement from one cycle to the next Owner: GTM lead
Stage 08 of 08
Scale
Automate what works. Expand what performs.
