IMPACT Framework MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing B2B positioning and messaging tools based on the IMPACT Framework by Shashwat Ghosh.

What is the IMPACT Framework?

Messaging & Positioning for Better Storytelling

The IMPACT Framework is a systematic approach to create sharp positioning, differentiated value proposition, and effective messaging designed to address each persona of the buying group.

| Phase | Component | Key Question | |-------|-----------|--------------| | I | IDENTIFY Champions | Who are your ideal customers and internal advocates? | | M | MAP Reality & Alternatives | What's the competitive landscape and status quo? | | P | PINPOINT Unique Value | What makes you genuinely different and valuable? | | A | ANCHOR in Right Market | What context makes your value obvious? | | C | CRAFT Core Message | How do you communicate this clearly and memorably? | | T | TRANSLATE to Execution | How do you bring this to life across channels? |

"Great positioning makes your product's value obvious to the customers who need it most. The IMPACT Framework ensures you get there systematically."
