A4: Early Adopter→Early Majority (i) Sustained usage as evidence of value; (ii) Confirmation of better satisfication of #jtbd. #innochat
RT @JohnWLewis: A3 Before adoption, early adopters are seeking opportunities with demonstrable advantages, regardless of disadvantages. #innochat
RT @innoalchemist: EA seeks information to say the product might work; EM wants to know examples where it does/has worked. Risk asymmetry #innochat
