+
+Before applying the analysis protocol, identify the product context from the document and the codebase it lives in. The context shifts what matters.
+
+**External products** (shipped to customers who choose to adopt -- consumer apps, public APIs, marketplace plugins, developer tools and SDKs with an open user base): competitive positioning and market perception carry real weight. Adoption is earned -- users choose alternatives freely. Identity and brand coherence matter because they affect trust and willingness to adopt or pay.
+
+**Internal products** (team infrastructure, internal platforms, company-internal tooling used by a captive or semi-captive audience): competitive positioning matters less. But other factors become *more* important:
+- **Cognitive load** -- users didn't choose this tool, so every bit of complexity is friction they can't opt out of. Weight simplicity higher.
+- **Workflow integration** -- does this fit how people already work, or does it demand they change habits? Internal tools that fight existing workflows get routed around.
+- **Maintenance surface** -- the team maintaining this is usually small. Every feature is a long-term commitment. Weight ongoing cost higher than initial build cost.
+- **Workaround risk** -- captive users who find a tool too complex or too opinionated build their own alternatives. Adoption isn't guaranteed just because the tool exists.
+
+Many products are hybrid (an internal tool with external users, a developer SDK with a marketplace). Use judgment -- the point is to weight the analysis appropriately, not to force a binary classification.
