CORPORATE STRATEGY

Focused brands should share standards, not blur their missions.

A framework for deciding when a product belongs under an existing brand, requires a new brand, or should remain an internal experiment.

Use an existing brand when

The new product serves the same audience, supports the same mission, and benefits from the same trust expectations.

Create a new brand when

The audience, value proposition, risk profile, or monetization model would confuse the existing product.

Keep it in Labs when

The problem, demand, or operating requirements have not yet been validated.

Shared layer

All brands can share accessibility, security, editorial, analytics, deployment, and corporate-governance standards.
