Our factory equipment manufacturer sells CNC lathes to automotive plants in Germany. We are considering selling those exact same CNC lathes to aerospace manufacturers in Germany. The sales VP insists this is Product Development because aerospace requires new pitch decks. Evaluate our growth strategy.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
The Ansoff Matrix maps four growth strategies along two axes: markets (existing vs new) and products (existing vs new). Each quadrant carries increasing risk — from market penetration (lowest) to diversification (highest). It forces a disciplined choice among growth paths.
Trigger conditions:
When NOT to use:
IRON LAW: Risk Increases Diagonally
Market Penetration (existing × existing) = lowest risk.
Diversification (new × new) = highest risk.
Product Development and Market Development are medium risk.
NEVER recommend diversification without explicitly acknowledging it carries
the highest risk and requires the most resources. Companies fail most often
when pursuing diversification without the capability to manage it.
| Existing Products | New Products | |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Markets | Market Penetration — Sell more of what you have to current customers | Product Development — Create new products for current customers |
| New Markets | Market Development — Sell existing products to new customer segments or geographies | Diversification — New products for new markets (highest risk) |
