Jobs to be done

job 1When the ten year old project he started in Los Chacayes has, in his own words, become consolidated, I want that consolidation to translate into the resort's next stage of growth, so that ten years of building becomes a foundation for what comes next rather than a plateau. source

job 2When Casa de Uco already sells private vineyard parcels that buyers plant and vinify under its guidance, I want a steady pipeline of qualified buyers for those parcels, so that the real estate arm becomes a reliable revenue stream rather than an occasional sale. source

job 3When ten years of work with his father has, in his own words, become a consolidated project rather than a fragile start, I want to feel that the hardest building years are behind them, so that pride in what they built together replaces the uncertainty of the early years. source

jtbd coverage noteNo register quotes or sales brief exist for this subject. The dossier preserves one direct quote from Juan Tonconogy at the resort's 10th anniversary, which grounds both a functional growth job and an emotional pride job. No quote reflects how he wants to be seen by others, so a social job is omitted for lack of that specific voice evidence.
