Results for “mom-test”

Run Mom Test–style customer-discovery interviews to validate or kill an unbuilt idea — generate a non-leading interview guide, conduct or coach the conversations, and synthesize signal vs compliments. Load when the user asks to do customer discovery, run problem interviews, validate an idea with users, run a Mom Test, design an interview guide, or says "talk to customers", "validate the problem", "interview users", "Mom Test this", "did real users want it", "synthesize my interviews", "I just talked to N people". Sub-skill of `venture-exploration`. Hard-bans "would you use this?", solution-pitching, friend/family-only ICP, and treating compliments as validation. Calls `secure-*` before synthesizing any pasted external transcripts.

Create a structured customer interview script with JTBD probing questions, warm-up, core exploration, and wrap-up sections. Follows The Mom Test principles — no leading questions, no pitching, focus on past behavior. Use when preparing for user interviews, creating interview guides, or planning discovery research.

Plan, design, and analyze A/B tests and growth experiments, from hypothesis to statistically sound results.

Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product by creating XYZ hypotheses and suggesting low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders.

Design MVPs, validated learning experiments, and pivot-or-persevere decisions using the Build-Measure-Learn loop and innovation accounting.

Build empowered product teams using discovery and delivery dual-track. Use when the user mentions "product discovery", "empowered teams", "feature factory", "product roadmap", "opportunity assessment", "product vision", "product-led growth", or "discovery vs delivery". Also trigger when restructuring product teams away from output-driven models, setting product strategy, or defining what to build next based on outcomes. Covers product discovery techniques, team structure, and continuous value delivery. For customer interviews, see mom-test. For ongoing discovery systems, see continuous-discovery.

Orchestrator for the pre-decision business-idea lifecycle — generate ideas, model them, evaluate them, validate them with customers, and only then hand off to product-soul / brainstorming. Routes through `idea-generation`, `business-modeling`, `idea-evaluation`, and `customer-discovery`. Load when the user asks to explore business ideas, find a startup idea, evaluate a venture, validate an idea, says "what business should I start", "should I build this", "is this a good business", "I have a startup idea", "evaluate this venture", "model this business", "validate this idea", "Mom Test this", "Lean Canvas this", "Business Model Canvas", "Value Proposition Canvas", "go/no-go on this idea". Pre-decision suite — once one idea is committed, hands off to `product-soul`. Does NOT design features (use `brainstorming`) or audit built products (use `reality-check`).
