Pattern · Incumbent defeat

You don't beat a funded incumbent by matching their features — you beat them by compounding a habit they can't flex to copy without breaking their business model.

For Instance

Figma couldn't outspend Sketch. It shipped real-time multiplayer — a habit Sketch's file-based model could not mimic without a rebuild. Same playbook: Shopify vs. Magento; Slack vs. HipChat.
