Implements continuous discovery habits including weekly customer contact, opportunity solution trees, and assumption testing.

How you ask

  • “Create an opportunity solution tree for our onboarding problem”
  • “Design an assumption test for our biggest product risk”
  • “Plan weekly customer contact cadence for our product trio”

Inputs

  • request — The cadence question — setting up the weekly rhythm, or running this week's interview/synthesis/decision cycle.
  • scope — company, or a client-id under {company.clients}/ — a string with one reserved value, not a closed set
  • request — The outcome and the opportunities or interview findings to map into a solution tree.
  • request — The solution or assumption set to test, and any evidence already collected.

Outputs

  • Assumption test plan and results — assumptions ranked by risk, test method chosen, evidence collected, and the resulting build/test-more/pivot decision.
  • Opportunity Solution Tree — outcome, ranked opportunities, candidate solutions, and the assumptions each solution depends on.
  • Weekly operating plan — trio participation, interview schedule, synthesis session output, and the build/test-more/pivot call for the week.
