Assumptions and Experiments Phase

Use when validating solution concepts with the riskiest assumptions first.

Inputs

  • Selected solution
  • Evidence so far
  • Constraints (time, budget, ethics)

Process

  1. List assumptions (desirability, usability, feasibility, viability, risk).
  2. Prioritize by impact x uncertainty.
  3. Design smallest experiments with decision thresholds.
  4. Save assumptions and experiment plans to the OST graph linked to the solution.

CLI Actions

  • Add assumption: uv run python scripts/ost.py assumption add --solution <id> "<title>" --data <json>
  • List assumptions: uv run python scripts/ost.py assumption list --solution <id>

Output

  • Assumption nodes linked to the solution.
  • Next step: decide whether to proceed, pivot, or stop.
