Self-accelerating quality can come from network effects, ecosystem effects, etc.

If you also have some kind of self-hoisting product quality (e.g. a network effect) then you have not only viability but also compounding returns and you might not need to distill much more of a vision.
...y of a thing is due to its intrinsic qualities, but also external factors (e.g. network effect, its broader ecosystem)

You have to lead with your primary use case and sprinkle in the secondary use case as a bonus, at least to start.
