USP Stress Test

Run your USP through these four checks. A strong USP should pass all of them.

Is it specific?

Your USP should name a clear audience, method, or outcome. If it could apply to any business in your industry, it is too vague.
Is it measurable?

Can you prove it with numbers, case studies, or data? If there is no way to verify the claim, strengthen it with evidence.
Is it defensible?

Would it be hard for a competitor to copy? Your USP should be rooted in something they cannot easily replicate, such as your experience, process, or proprietary method.
Would a competitor say the opposite?

If no one would disagree with your claim, it is not differentiated enough. A real USP takes a position that other businesses would not choose.
