SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps surface hidden assumptions, blind spots, and unknown risks in strategy, planning, or decision documents so teams can make better choices before execution goes off track.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Known/Unknown Quadrant Analysis: Classifies information into known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns to reveal what is certain, uncertain, underused, or unforeseeable.
  • Hypothesis-Driven Questioning: Uses structured, option-based questions to validate assumptions and deepen analysis without overwhelming the user.
  • Actionable Playbook Output: Produces a decision-oriented playbook with experiments, stop-doing items, and execution roadmaps.
  • Use Case: A team reviewing a growth strategy can use this Skill to identify weak links, test risky assumptions, and decide what to stop doing before committing resources.

Quick Start

Use the unknown skill to analyze this strategy document for blind spots, hidden assumptions, and the most important experiments to run next.

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface hidden assumptions and blind spots in a strategy document?

To surface blind spots in a strategy document, apply a known-unknown quadrant framework to classify information into known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns. This reveals uncertain, underused, or unforeseeable risks.

What is the best way to identify unknown risks before committing resources to a plan?

The best way to identify unknown risks is using hypothesis-driven questioning alongside quadrant analysis. This validates assumptions through structured, option-based questions to expose weak links before execution goes off track.

How do I generate an actionable playbook for risk assessment and strategy analysis?

Generate an actionable playbook for risk assessment by defining promotion criteria, kill criteria, and stop-doing items. This produces a decision-oriented roadmap with prioritized experiments to test risky assumptions.

Can I use hypothesis-driven decision analysis for requirement-free strategic reviews?

Yes, you can use hypothesis-driven decision analysis for requirement-free strategic reviews. It applies structured multi-round questioning to evaluate unused assets and prioritize experiments without needing formal requirements.

When do I need quadrant analysis for evaluating my growth strategy?

You need quadrant analysis for evaluating a growth strategy when you must uncover unforeseeable unknown unknowns and underused assets. It helps teams decide what to stop doing and what experiments to run before resource allocation.
