Refresh marketing positioning to Path C strategy (GRO-1057)
- Update hero message to approved lead message: 'Stop missing client calls. Book 24/7, groom all day.' - Add team messaging: 'Automate the admin. Your team focuses on grooming.' - Reframe features section around time/revenue benefit for solo groomers - Replace feature-parity comparison table with 'Built for Your Reality' positioning emphasizing mobile capability, offline-first, data ownership - Remove competitive feature checklist (Path C doesn't compete on feature parity) - Create MESSAGING-PATH-C.md as authoritative messaging framework - Anti-customer positioning: NOT for large commercial/franchise shops - Emphasize workflow fit, pet-specific depth, data ownership over feature breadth Path C targets solo groomers and small teams (1-5 staff) with niche-domination positioning through 2026, AI roadmap for 2027+.
