Key GTM insight

1X chose the opposite GTM of every other humanoid company: consumer first, published price, subscription option. The published $499 / month is the first real price anchor in the humanoid market.

What competitors should learn

A public price is itself a GTM weapon. It forces every competitor to answer a question they wanted to avoid.
