Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Idea: state non-goals to keep a vertical CRM from becoming an all-purpose suite.
- Idea: design lightweight reminders around durable relationship records.
Tradeoff to consider
A personal relationship model may not cover team permissions or sales reporting.
Starting route
Read the feature/non-goal sections and write a one-person versus team requirements split.
