Problem to product
Products that stick start as clear problems — then a smallest build that tests one risky assumption.
Frame the job
Write who struggles, what they try today, and what “better” looks like. Alternatives belong on the canvas so you are not solving an imaginary gap.
Validate before features
Use idea validation to gather interviews or lightweight experiments. Only then open the Requirement and Skill canvases to scope an MVP.
Build with proof
Product building on IA ties milestones and diary entries to stages so collaborators see demonstrated progress — not slide claims.
