For each segment, score on:
- Market size (estimated)
- Accessibility (how easy to reach)
- Fit (how well product solves their problem)
- Willingness to pay
- **Priority tier**: Tier 1 (primary) / Tier 2 (secondary) / Tier 3 (future)

### 3. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
Build a detailed ICP for the Tier 1 segment:
- Demographics and firmographics

### 4. Go-to-Market Strategies by Segment
For each top tier segment:
