Key Concepts

What your agent learns

Empowered Product Teams

Give teams problems to solve, not features to build. Empower them with context, trust, and accountability for outcomes.

Product Discovery

Separate discovery (figuring out what to build) from delivery (building it). Tackle risks before writing production code.

Four Key Risks

Address value risk (will customers buy it?), usability risk, feasibility risk, and business viability risk during discovery.

Product Vision & Strategy

Define a compelling product vision for 2-5 years out. Derive a product strategy with a sequence of focused bets.

Prototype to Test

Build rapid prototypes — feasibility, user, and live-data — to validate ideas before committing engineering resources.
