Gibson Biddle's meta-point about frameworks like DHM Framework (Delight, Hard-to-Copy, Margin-Enhancing), GEM Model (Growth, Engagement, Monetization), and SMT Framework (Strategy → Metric → Tactics): their value isn't producing a definitive right answer but enabling intelligent debate between people by naming a shared concept — 'name it to tame it.' On genuinely unresolved questions (Netflix advertising, games, live sports, social features), he argues 'no one knows the answers,' so the framework's job is to structure the argument, not settle it. This underpins Product Leaders as Storytellers: the framework gives you the scaffolding for the case you build.
Biddle's own phrase for this practice: "name it to tame it" — coining shared vocabulary (DHM, GEM, SMT, walk/run) so a team can debate a tradeoff productively instead of talking past each other. He pairs the practice with the belief that "good fights make good marriages": naming a framework surfaces disagreement on purpose rather than suppressing it.
