Look at industrial economics and shakeouts.

The advantage a first mover has is early access to innovation. With earlier customers and a slightly more mature product they're a step ahead. So, knowing this, can you leap frog it by second guessing what the customer/market really wants in a way that wins for you?

Thanks for the insight, first time i heard leap frog haha. I get that there's ways to optimize both fast-follow or searching for OG pain-points. My question is more so, given that I will follow the best practices for both options, is fast-follow really a no-brainer highest-ROI option?
