the difficulty of the pivot is entirely defined by the pivot angle and progression of the project. for moderate progression, angles < 90deg. are not so bad, most of your vision remains aligned. > 90deg. is very hard and >135deg. - abandon ship! we just finished a drawn-out consumer-centric to provider-centric pivot of maybe 30deg. with the project was already at at 75% completion but we felt very little pain because the core value model did not change, we just shifted gears, reworked a few features and here we are, 30 days before public beta. we have fairly little investment as well - approx 250k and a team of 6. if your core value targets a very narrow market, you are more susceptible to these difficulties.
