epic-hypothesis

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product managers and founders frame large features (epics) as testable hypotheses, reducing the risk of building unvalidated ideas and ensuring development effort is focused on outcomes that matter.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hypothesis Formulation: Guides users to define an "If/Then" statement for their epic, clearly stating the proposed action, target persona, and expected outcome.
• Experiment Design: Prompts for "Tiny Acts of Discovery" – lightweight experiments to validate assumptions before committing to full development.
• Validation Metrics: Helps define clear, measurable success criteria and timeframes for evaluating the hypothesis.
• Use Case: A PM has an idea for a new feature to improve user onboarding. Instead of immediately building it, they use this Skill to frame it as a hypothesis: "If we add interactive tutorials for new users, then we will increase feature adoption by 15% within 30 days." They then design a prototype test to validate this before coding.
