  41. assistant_messageDone. I've created **POSITIONING.md** with a complete strategic framework: **Ideal Customer:** Mid-to-large SaaS ($500k-$20m ARR) with multiple engineers on the platform team, usage-based pricing that's live or launching this quarter, running 500M+ monthly calls. **Key insight:** Hand-rolled metering fails at platform scale through three vectors—accuracy drift, operational burden, and audit risk. This is the gap Meterly fills. **Core positioning:** Not "easier to build than yourself" (everyone thinks that), but **"metering is now someone else's problem."** Emphasize accuracy, auditability, and the operational calm of having a single source of truth across APIs. **Go-to-market shift:** Target Head of Platform/VP Engineering/Staff Engineers (not individual contributors). Lead with billing auditability and drift-prevention, not SDK simplicity. The prospects you're already talking to (ExampleShip's billing-from-logs problem, ExampleGeo's drifting counters) are exactly this profile. The document includes sales qualification questions, messaging framework, and competitive positioning. See POSITIONING.md for the full write-up.
