Intermediate scenario
Seasonal residential snow-removal membership.
Customer
Suburban homeowners on a street where six plow trucks compete.
Problem
They must get out of the driveway early, and shovelling is exhausting and risky.
What they want instead
A clear driveway before they need to leave, every single time.
Reference alternative
The neighbour's plow guy — $45 per visit, shows up eventually, sometimes not until afternoon.
Buyer sophistication
Moderate. They know what plowing costs.
Urgency
Spiky — irrelevant in October, urgent at 6am after a storm.
