I am also very curious to see; If there is probably a 3 x 3 x 3 mapping here;

- explore, expand, extract (3 stages) v/s

- product level, feature/idea level, enhancement level (3 levels) v/s

- agile, scrum-fall, waterfall (3 process)?

In a sense the outcome of such a mapping could yield which os the 3 x 3 x 3 selection (vertical, horizontal, across or whatever) leads to; product-market-fit (PMF), product-market-scale (PMS) and POWER

POWER;

“The product-market fit and power questions are different questions; one doesn’t necessarily answer the other… When you have a business model that gets you to product-market fit, there may be a power opportunity embedded in that and there may not be. Those are two very different problems. One is the problem of capitalizing on an inherent potential for power; the other is trying to figure out what you’re going to do to get power in something that currently doesn’t have it. That’s a very hard problem; it’s a second invent that’s every bit as hard as the product-market fit invent.” - Hamilton Helmer

Is there any relationship between explore, expand and extract stages to waterfall and agile processes? like say;

- explore (probably better to use agile process)

- expand (probably better to use scrum-fall process)

- extract (probably better to use waterfall process)
