01 · Entity layer: Start with the business you know

Your library defines what you sell—products, services, and solutions—and who you serve through personas and segments. Use cases, competitors, alternatives, objections, and proof complete the picture.

Each entity has a specific role. Together, they capture where you believe you fit and the case you can make to each buyer. Learn more about entities →

Add custom entities, properties, and tags to match the model to your business.

02 · Concept layer: Give shared ideas a shared meaning

Octave decomposes your entities into shared atomic concepts: buyer pains, desired outcomes, and product capabilities.

The same pain can connect several personas to capabilities across multiple products. Typed, directional relationships describe how those concepts connect, with a rationale for each link. Your agents can follow why a capability matters to a particular buyer.

03 · Motion layer: Match the message to the buying situation

Above the entity layer, playbooks combine your offering with specific personas and segments to guide the message.

Motions adapt that guidance for the way you’re selling. A net-new opportunity needs a different approach from an expansion or a push to displace an incumbent.
