## What it does

16 evidence-first PM skills, each shipped with a worked example. Strongest on the
areas the other catalogue PM packages don't cover deeply — roadmaps, metrics,
experimentation, competitive analysis, strategy, and Shape Up scoping.

| Sub-skill | Best for |
|-----------|----------|
| `user-interview` | Mom Test + YC's Five Questions — unbiased user interviews |
| `problem-validation` | Score problems on frequency × intensity × willingness-to-pay |
| `jtbd-analysis` | Jobs-to-be-Done + Forces of Progress |
| `research-synthesis` | Turn interview notes into atomic insights and patterns |
| `opportunity-mapping` | Opportunity Solution Trees (Teresa Torres) |
| `competitor-analysis` | Feature matrix, positioning map, strategic gaps |
| `product-positioning` | April Dunford's Obviously Awesome framework |
| `strategy-doc` | Playing to Win + Rumelt's Strategy Kernel |
| `feature-prioritization` | RICE scoring with enablers vs blockers lens |
| `scope-cutting` | Shape Up appetite — fixed time, variable scope |
| `bet-sizing` | Shape Up pitch format + Type 1/2 decision framework |
| `prd-writing` | Evidence-first, concise, measurable PRDs |
| `launch-plan` | Launch tiers (silent / soft / big-bang) with checklists |
| `metrics-framework` | North Star + input/output tree + counter-metrics |
| `experiment-design` | Hypothesis-driven A/B tests with a sample-size plan |
| `roadmap-planning` | Now/Next/Later roadmaps — outcomes, not features |
