PRODUCT MANAGERS · SELF-GUIDED ROUTINE

Test the idea before the build.

Create a decision-focused experiment.

What you’re working towardA test plan with a decision rule agreed in advance. These are suggested combinations; follow each provider’s setup instructions. This routine has not been tested as an automated end-to-end integration.
STEP 01

Name the risky assumption

Choose one uncertain behavior or need. Define what evidence would change your decision.

STEP 02

Make the smallest credible test

Use a prototype or manual service when appropriate. Specify participant criteria and avoid leading prompts.

STEP 03

Decide using the full picture

Evaluate task behavior, qualitative observations and limitations. Record the decision and what remains unknown.

Your starting prompt

Help design a test for this assumption. Propose a small method, participant criteria, neutral questions, success signals and a decision rule. Identify risks of misleading ourselves. Do not present an arbitrary sample as statistically conclusive.

Your judgment is the superpower.Check that the test can answer the question and that participants understand what is a prototype.
