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."
