FAQPage Schema
How do I explore strategic options before writing a PRD?

Strategic option evaluation before writing a PRD involves researching HQ context, comparing potential approaches, and surfacing unknowns. This process outputs a structured brainstorm.md containing evaluated options, a Premise Check, and a recommended approach.

What is the best way to identify unknowns and tradeoffs prior to product planning?

Identifying unknowns and tradeoffs prior to product planning requires analyzing policy constraints and existing knowledge bases. This anchors your thinking to organizational context and produces a structured document outlining evaluated options and a recommended approach.

How do I generate a brainstorm.md with evaluated options and a recommendation?

You generate a brainstorm.md by providing a problem statement and relevant context. The system researches HQ knowledge bases to output a structured file containing proposed options, a Premise Check, and a recommended approach for your product requirements.

Does brainstorming before a PRD require referencing existing company policies and projects?

Brainstorming before a PRD heavily relies on referencing existing company policies, projects, and HQ context. Anchoring decisions in these knowledge bases ensures the strategic evaluation accurately reflects organizational constraints and reduces unforeseen tradeoffs.

What are the limitations of using AI to evaluate problem spaces before committing to a PRD?

A key limitation of using AI to evaluate problem spaces is that it does not execute code or perform live data lookups. It relies entirely on user-provided descriptions and HQ knowledge bases to guide decision-making and surface strategic unknowns.
