Key Concepts

What your agent learns

Map & Target

Monday: map the problem space and choose a specific target area to focus the sprint on.

Sketch Solutions

Tuesday: generate diverse solutions individually using "Crazy 8s" and detailed solution sketches.

Decide

Wednesday: use structured decision-making (dot voting, Decider) to select the best approach.

Prototype

Thursday: build a realistic-looking prototype — just enough fidelity to test with real users.

Test & Learn

Friday: run 5 user interviews and identify patterns that validate or invalidate your hypothesis.
