FAQPage Schema
How do I map product outcomes to customer opportunities and experiments?▼

An Opportunity Solution Tree (OST) connects a desired outcome to customer opportunities, potential solutions, and experiments. It visually maps your discovery process, ensuring traceability from customer needs to testable bets.

How do I build an Opportunity Solution Tree for product discovery?▼

To build an OST, define a measurable outcome, structure hierarchical opportunities (level 1-3), generate 2-3 solutions per leaf opportunity, and define risk-based assumption tests. It outputs a structured document with a Mermaid diagram.

Can I generate a Mermaid diagram for an Opportunity Solution Tree?▼

Yes, you can render a Mermaid OST diagram directly from your structured discovery inputs. The skill outputs a complete OST document that includes the Mermaid diagram alongside an opportunities table and an assumptions log.

What do I need to create an Opportunity Solution Tree for roadmap planning?▼

Creating an OST for roadmap planning requires a workspace with an established outcome goal and research inputs. You need these inputs to accurately map customer opportunities and shape your product initiatives.

How many solutions should I generate for each opportunity in an OST?▼

You should generate 2-3 concrete solutions for each leaf opportunity in your OST. This ensures you have multiple distinct approaches to test against customer opportunities before committing to a specific roadmap bet.
