Positioning is the deliberate choice of context that makes your product's value obvious: what category it lives in, who it's for, and what it's measured against. The same product, positioned differently, wins or loses different markets.
Buyers evaluate products against the alternatives the category implies. Choose the frame where your strengths are the buying criteria.
At MVP stage, positioning is a scope tool: the frame you pick defines which features are table stakes and which are differentiators worth building first.
