Purpose
Reduce product uncertainty before requirements or architecture investment. Use customer evidence, assumption tests and counterexamples; never promote a founder belief to fact by repetition.
Workflow
- State the opportunity, riskiest assumptions and falsification thresholds.
- Gather evidence with source, sample size, date and confidence. Separate observation, inference and hypothesis.
- Test problem severity, current workaround, triggering context and willingness to change. Seek disconfirming evidence.
- Decide
VALIDATED,PIVOT,MORE_EVIDENCEorSTOP. - Update the existing durable product authority that owns the result: vision, jobs, journey evidence or KPI baseline. Preserve provenance and stable ids.
Return changed authority paths, evidence citations, confidence and the next unresolved question. Do not create a feature directory, manual handover, wave report, plan or progress artifact.
