It uses market growth and relative market share to test whether a defined activity may resemble a Star, Cash Cow, Question Mark or Dog. The useful work is deciding what the comparison market actually is: a product family, customer need, territory or service line can produce very different conclusions.

It examines customer segments, value propositions, channels and customer relationships alongside revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships and cost structure.

Technological, Legal and Environmental considerations can affect product requirements, data, compliance, process choices or resource use.

Strengths and Weaknesses are internal: they may concern capabilities, assets, processes, relationships or limitations that require verification. Opportunities and Threats are external: they arise from market structure, customer change, technology, regulation or wider conditions.
