Feature, Capability, Outcome, Metric

A four-word tool that drags a team out of feature-dumping.

Your SEs are great at explaining what a feature does and terrible at answering 'so what?' A simple four-word tool that drags a team out of feature-dumping.

What Nate and Ava discuss

  • Feature to Capability to Outcome to Metric, and why the value is all the way right
  • Why the metric must come from the customer, never the template
  • Leading with the outcome before you click, so the demo becomes a series of payoffs

The move

Make feature-capability-outcome-metric a required step of demo prep — but populate the metric from the customer's own numbers. Discovery first, framework second.
