SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps determine whether an idea is true demand, false demand, or a narrow-scoped opportunity. It guides decision-making for questions like “is this worth pursuing?”, “why isn’t adoption happening?”, “is this a first-principles need or a second-order optimization?”, “should we build this feature?”, “how to run user interviews?”, and “how to validate the demand?” by delivering auditable, executable insights and a clear path forward for high-risk, high-investment decisions that may involve platform migrations, external data sources, or multi-party dependencies. It defaults to using sub-agents for opposing analysis and reality auditing, then surfaces a decisive conclusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured three-layer problem framing: bottom-level JTBD, proposed solution, and claimed differentiation.
  • Four-mode execution framework: Light, Standard, Deep, with a default multi-agent setup (Bull / Bear / User Reality / Audit) to balance speed and rigor.
  • Two-stage audit process: Demand Truth followed by Delivery Truth, plus a concrete decision signal and a minimal validation plan.
  • Clear, actionable outputs: consensus vs. divergence, evidence hierarchy, and recommended next steps with a minimal wedge when continuing.

Quick Start

Provide a product idea and this skill will judge whether it is true demand, false demand, or a narrow opportunity and outline the minimal validation steps.

FAQPage Schema
How to validate if a product idea is true demand or false demand?▼

Product demand validation requires auditing the JTBD, proposed solution, and claimed differentiation. This framework evaluates evidence and delivery feasibility to determine if an idea is true demand, false demand, or a narrow opportunity.

What is the JTBD framework for product feature validation?▼

The JTBD framework structures validation by framing the bottom-level job-to-be-done, evaluating the proposed solution, and assessing differentiation. It guides decisions on whether to build features by identifying first-principles needs versus second-order optimizations.

How do I audit demand truth for high-risk platform migrations?▼

Auditing demand truth for high-risk initiatives involves a two-stage process assessing demand reality and delivery feasibility. It applies to platform migrations and multi-party dependencies, surfacing decisive conclusions and minimal validation plans.

Can I use sub-agents for opposing analysis during market validation?▼

Yes, the default setup uses multi-agent execution with Bull, Bear, User Reality, and Audit modes. This balances speed and rigor by generating opposing analyses and reality audits before surfacing a final product validation conclusion.

What is the best way to test market validation for a narrow opportunity?▼

Testing a narrow opportunity involves auditing JTBD and evidence hierarchy. The process outputs consensus versus divergence on demand truth and provides a minimal wedge validation plan for recommended next steps.

When should I not use an evidence-based demand audit framework?▼

This demand audit framework is designed for high-stakes, high-investment decisions. It may be excessive for low-risk, rapid experiments where lightweight user interviews or direct prototypes are sufficient to validate immediate feature adoption.
