Indeed, but you should pick a target group. If there are 5 
different use scenarios for D and 5% is missing for each scenario 
then you have a 95% solution for each, but maybe a 75% solution 
in total.

So if Walter tries to keep everyone happy then the next 5% brings 
it up to 80% and each scenario to 96%. Which doesn’t make a 
significant difference.

It is better to focus on one scenario and get that to 100%.

So it is better to tell 4 out of 5 NO and give special treatment 
to 1/5.

Just pick the most promising scenario.

If the tool is the hands down best for some specific purpose then 
yes, word of mouth is the best marketing when the product is 
exceptional.

If it is one of many or bland then marketing becomes an issue.
