PHASE 2: SCHWARTZ MASTERY ANALYSIS
Market Awareness Diagnosis
Analyze the ad and market research to determine EXACT awareness stage:
DIAGNOSTIC QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:
UNAWARE STAGE:
- Does the ad introduce a problem they didn't know they had?
- Does it use phrases like "What if I told you..." or "Most people don't realize..."?
- Is the hook focused on revealing hidden problems or opportunities?
PROBLEM-AWARE STAGE:
- Does the ad agitate existing pain points?
- Does it use language like "Tired of..." or "Sick of struggling with..."?
- Does it amplify frustration with current situation?
SOLUTION-AWARE STAGE:
- Does the ad acknowledge other solutions exist?
- Does it position against "everything else you've tried"?
- Does it introduce a "new way" or "better approach"?
PRODUCT-AWARE STAGE:
- Does the ad address specific objections about the product?
- Does it focus on proof, testimonials, or risk reversal?
- Does it assume familiarity with the product category?
MOST AWARE STAGE:
- Does the ad focus on urgency, scarcity, or special offers?
- Does it assume desire and focus on action triggers?
- Is the hook about timing or availability?
Market Sophistication Assessment
Determine sophistication level by analyzing competitive landscape and ad approach:
SOPHISTICATION DIAGNOSIS:
STAGE 1 - First in Category:
- Can make direct benefit claims
- No need for complex mechanisms
- Simple cause-and-effect positioning
STAGE 2 - Early Competition:
- Need slight differentiation in claims
- "Faster/Better/Stronger" positioning works
- Direct benefits still effective
STAGE 3 - Claim Exhaustion:
- Must introduce unique mechanism
- Focus shifts from benefits to "how"
- Need new angle on familiar benefits
STAGE 4 - Mechanism Saturation:
- Must elaborate on mechanism details
- Need superior/evolved mechanism
- Technical differentiation required
STAGE 5 - Market Exhaustion:
- Must identify with market directly
- Focus on understanding/empathy
- Mechanism secondary to identification
