INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

Enter while the other side is hollow and undefended. As a scaffold it is gap analysis: do not attack where the opponent's defense is thickest, as striking a search incumbent directly on search would be. Look instead for the vacuity they disdain or cannot attend to, such as the mobile recommendation feed, the blind spot of the giant, and make that your entry.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Map the firm: mark where the rival's defense is thick and where it is thin. - Vacuity hunt: find the blind spot the incumbent disdains, or the one it cannot cover. - Differentiate in: enter the gap with something different, not a frontal assault.

Anchor fast decisions

Entering while the other side is hollow is gap analysis in action: the thickest defense costs the most and offers the lowest odds, while the vacuity, the blind spot, the weak point, the uncovered need, is the breakthrough that buys the most for the least.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/1

Practice this model in one real situation:

Map the rival's solid ground, heavy defense, against the vacuity, blind spots and weaknesses. 2. Choose the vacuity they disdain or cannot cover as your entry. 3. Go in differentiated, not head-on against the main line. 4. Occupy the gap fast and build a position. 5. Dig in before the giant can wheel around and retake it.
