ICP Definition, targeting built from pain, not firmographics alone.
Firmographic-only ICPs target accounts that look right. This build rebuilds yours from win patterns and the acute pains behind your closed-won deals, so you target the accounts that hurt right now. Pain-driven leads close 3 to 5x faster. Directional, from our audits and industry benchmarks, not a controlled study. It is a scoped engagement with acceptance criteria, not a zip file.
Artemis GTM is a consulting service for AI GTM engineering, delivered as headless agents that install into your own Claude Code, claude.ai, or Codex.

What it builds
The ICP Definition agent is a paid module that closes wrong-ICP targeting inside your own stack. It builds your ideal customer profile from win patterns and the acute pains behind your closed-won deals, not firmographics alone, mining discovery transcripts in Granola, Sybill, or Attention and wiring the scorecard into your CRM. It costs $1,500, owned forever, and ships with Ideal Customer Problems, a 5 to 7 dimension scorecard, A/B/C/D tiers, a disqualification list, CRM segment setup, and quarterly, monthly, and annual refresh routines.
Written up in full in the knowledge layer: Pain-First ICP Scoring.
Who it is for
- B2B teams whose ICP is firmographic-only and whose win rate or deal size is slipping.
- Shops with a CRM and a library of discovery transcripts in Granola, Sybill, or Attention.
- Founders and RevOps leads who want an ICP validated against closed-won data, not a persona slide.
Built to finish, not just advise
Every paid agent runs the build like a chief of staff. Tracked tasks, scheduled milestones, blockers flagged early. The part a course or a PDF structurally cannot do.
Progress you can see.
A live progress line every session: what is done, what is next, and how much is left before the system is live.
It schedules the work.
Connect Google Calendar, Slack, or Gmail and the agent puts milestones on your calendar, posts the day's task to Slack, and sends weekly recaps, so the build keeps moving between sessions.
Blockers surfaced early.
It maps dependencies up front, for example flagging that you will need HubSpot admin access before the CRM wiring step, not after it stalls you.
A finish line, not a fade-out.
Milestone unlocks and a verified end state keep momentum. Most self-serve builds stall halfway; this one is engineered to get done.
How the ICP gets rebuilt from pain
Discovery
Read your current ICP, your closed-won and closed-lost inventory, and your conversation-intel coverage. The build branches off how much real data there is to work with.
Win pattern analysis
Tier your closed-wons, then cluster the firmographic, trigger, and buying-committee patterns that show up in your best customers but not your lost deals.
Pain extraction
Mine 10 to 20 discovery transcripts and run 3 to 5 best-customer interviews to surface the acute pains behind each win. This is the unfakeable part.
Ideal Customer Problems and scorecard
Write 3 to 5 problem statements, then build a 5 to 7 dimension scorecard tuned so 8 of your last 10 wins land in the Ideal band.
CRM segment setup
Create the scoring properties, automation, and routing rules in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Attio so the ICP is operational, not a slide nobody opens.
Install routines
Wire quarterly refresh, monthly fit-distribution, and annual deep-refresh routines so win-pattern drift gets caught before the ICP becomes folklore.
A license key drops into the engineer you already installed, and ICP Definition lights up. From key to first discovery question in seconds.

Firmographic ICP or Pain-First ICP
The core distinction this build is based on. Here is what each describes and what it predicts, from the FAQ.
| Approach | What it describes | What it predicts |
|---|---|---|
| Firmographic ICP | The company: industry, size, geography, tech stack. | Accounts that look right. No read on whether they are in pain now. |
| Pain-First ICP | The company plus the acute problem it is living right now: recent funding, a metric downturn, a key hire, a tech shift. | Accounts that hurt right now. Pain-driven leads close 3 to 5x faster. Directional, not a controlled study. |
| This build | Both, validated against your closed-won deals. | A scorecard tuned so 8 of your last 10 wins land in the Ideal band. |

Common questions about the ICP Definition Agent
What's the difference between firmographic ICP and Pain-First ICP?
+
Firmographic ICP describes the company: industry, size, geography, tech stack. Pain-First ICP describes the company plus the acute problem it is currently experiencing: recent funding, a metric downturn, a hire in a target role, a technology shift. Firmographic ICPs target accounts that look right. Pain-First ICPs target accounts that hurt right now. Pain-driven leads close 3 to 5x faster. Directional, from our audits and industry benchmarks, not a controlled study.
When should a B2B SaaS redefine its ICP?
+
When one of four signals appears: sales cycles lengthening without cause, win rate against a top competitor declining, customer churn concentrated in a specific segment, or average deal size dropping. Most B2B SaaS should formally review ICP every 12 to 18 months. The agent includes a quarterly recalibration cadence as part of the ongoing routines layer.
What does the ICP Definition agent cost?
+
The ICP Definition agent is $1,500 one-time. You own it forever: the scoped build engagement, the Ideal Customer Problems, the tuned scorecard, the A/B/C/D tiers, the disqualification list, the CRM segment setup, and the refresh routines it installs. There is no subscription required to keep using it. It is also in The Launch Stack, $1,299 with three tactical siblings, and in The GTM System, $2,497 with six system builds. Aegis membership, $1,200 per year across every agent you own, is optional and only keeps it current.
Does this agent run on OpenAI Codex, or only Claude?
+
Both. Every Artemis agent ships a verified OpenAI Codex edition in the same download, alongside the Claude edition for Claude Chat and Claude Code. Buy once and run the engagement on whichever assistant your team already uses. The Codex edition is a purpose-built port for the Codex CLI, not a copy-paste, with scheduling and engagement state handled natively per platform.
