What the AI GTM Sprint produces, and why it works.
The sprint is a new engagement model. Case studies are in progress. Here is the methodology, the data behind it, and the specific outcomes it is designed to produce.
The methodology, in plain terms.
Most GTM failures at Series A/B are not product failures. They are positioning failures: a message that is too broad, too generic, or too similar to competitors to give a buyer a clear reason to choose.
ICP before messaging.
Most companies write their messaging before they understand who they are selling to. We flip this. Week 1 is entirely about ICP clarity: customer interviews, buyer journey mapping, competitive analysis. The message follows the ICP. Not the other way around.
Differentiation is claimed, not discovered.
Your positioning is not sitting in a market research report waiting to be found. It is a strategic choice about which battle you are best positioned to win. The Week 2 positioning workshop surfaces that choice with precision.
Tools, not theory.
A positioning document that lives in Google Drive does not close deals. Week 3 converts the positioning into artifacts your sales team uses immediately: one-pager, pitch deck, battle cards. The sprint ends when your team has tools in hand — not when Diego has delivered a strategy.
The numbers behind the methodology.

Higher cost of retaining someone indefinitely to solve a defined problem vs. a scoped sprint, with output delivered 2–3x slower.
What the sprint is designed to move.
These are the specific metrics the AI GTM Sprint is built to improve. Case studies with before/after numbers are in progress. These are the outcomes each sprint is designed to produce:
Target metric
Demo-to-close rate
The primary outcome: more demos converting to signed contracts. Root cause is almost always positioning and messaging clarity, not the product.
Target metric
Sales cycle length
Clearer positioning shortens the decision timeline. Battle cards eliminate the “let me check with someone else” stalls in competitive deals.
Target metric
AE ramp time
New reps reach quota faster when they have a clear positioning playbook, battle cards, and a pitch deck that actually reflects the ICP.
Target metric
Board confidence
The Week 4 GTM roadmap is designed to be taken directly to the board: ICP scoring, channel mix, week-by-week plan, and KPIs.
Case studies in progress.
The first AI GTM Sprints are currently running.
Case studies with before/after metrics will be published here as they complete. If you want to speak to a company that has gone through the sprint, ask on the discovery call — we will connect you directly.

The methodology works. The question is whether your company is the right fit.
Not every Series A/B startup has a positioning problem. The discovery call tells us which constraint you are dealing with. If it is a positioning problem — and it usually is — the sprint is the fastest path to fixing it.
