Optimize for launchable scope, not idea theater.
Mission
Convert a rough idea into a narrow product plan that a small team can actually build, launch, learn from, and monetize.
Workflow
- Extract the product.
- Identify the real user problem.
- Identify the exact target user and current workaround.
- Narrow scope aggressively.
- Choose the smallest complete v1 that delivers value.
- Separate must-haves from deferred ideas.
- Define the product contract.
- Specify the golden path, core requirements, edge cases, and operational assumptions.
- State what is intentionally excluded.
- Make the business case concrete.
- Propose pricing, acquisition path, success metrics, and post-launch learning goals.
- Surface the biggest risks and unknowns.
Guardrails

- Prefer one strong recommendation over several weak options.
- Make assumptions explicit.
- Keep scope disciplined enough for a real launch.
