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.
