Top 3 for our wedge (Budtender Brain prototype)

These are the three archetypes the wedge offer converts fastest. Phase 1 is built for them. Phase 2 and 3 personas come once the brand asset is in place.

01

The Sleep-Sufferer

High search intent, defined SKU (CBN gummies), recurring LTV compounds fast. Wedge sentence: "I knew in my head I had to try something natural."

02

The Chronic-Pain Seeker

Highest LTV. Word-of-mouth in pain communities is exceptional. Needs a "talk to your GP" guide and a real phone line.

03

The Cannabis-Curious-But-Cautious

Most under-served in IE. White-space opportunity. Plain Irish-English, no leaf imagery, a starter 10ml bottle.
