ServiceTitan's brand re-weighted against the trades-millionaire thesis. Awareness and Loyalty hold. Mission Alignment is the critical misfire — the segmentation policy explicitly excludes the segment AI will most enrich.

Mission Alignment · 52 / 100 · −16 pts
The sharpest drop from baseline. ServiceTitan's 10+ technician floor explicitly excludes the solo-to-scaling cohort — the exact segment AI will most enrich. Mission alignment fell 16 points from the baseline 68 because the thesis frame makes the stated "3 or fewer technicians" exclusion a direct contradiction of the "born in the trades" mission. Mission is weighted 30% here because the answer to "what should ServiceTitan become" is fundamentally a mission question: serve the segment about to be created, or defend the one being rolled up.
Interpretation
Awareness (62): High inside the trades, near-zero in the solo-AI-native segment being born. Dropped 10 points from baseline 72.
Trust (44): Enterprise lock-in model clashes with AI-era owner agency. Mobile app at 2.6/5 on Google Play keeps eroding. Contract gravity, not earned trust.
Mission (52): Sharpest drop. The “born in the trades” origin story collides with the “not optimized for 3 or fewer technicians” product reality.
Differentiation (58): Narrowing. Atlas on Google Gemini = commodity substrate. FSM primitives are becoming table-stakes.
Loyalty (55): Contract-enforced, not earned. 12-month lock-ins and termination penalties inflate retention metrics.
