SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Discovery Skill guides teams through customer discovery by structuring interviews, capturing needs, and turning raw notes into actionable artifacts such as JTBDs, pain points, quotes, and synthesis outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured interview guides for opening, current process, pain points, workarounds, prioritization, and closing.
  • Synthesis outputs including JTBD maps (functional, related, emotional, and social), pain rankings, insight statements, vivid quotes, and learning gaps.
  • HMW generation and assumption tracking grounded in discovery data, enabling evidence-based ideation without leaking solution concepts.
  • Supports learning artifacts for cross-functional teams to align on customer needs early in product development.

Quick Start

Create a structured interview guide and synthesis plan for customer discovery with five interviews and an initial JTBD map.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn raw customer interview notes into actionable insights?

Customer discovery analysis automates turning raw interview notes into structured artifacts like JTBD maps, pain rankings, and quotes. It enforces evidence-based conclusions to separate problem discovery from solution ideation.

What is the best way to structure a customer discovery interview guide?

Structuring a customer discovery interview guide involves creating sections for opening, current process, pain points, workarounds, prioritization, and closing. This targeted structure ensures you capture the right data for accurate synthesis and insight generation.

Can I generate JTBD maps from multiple customer conversations?

Yes, you can generate Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) maps from multiple customer conversations. The synthesis process extracts functional, related, emotional, and social jobs from raw interview data to align cross-functional teams on customer needs.

How do I create HMW statements from customer discovery data without solution bias?

You create How-Might-We (HMW) statements from discovery data by enforcing guardrails that separate problem discovery from solution ideation. This ensures your HMW generation and assumption tracking remain grounded in customer evidence.

Does customer discovery synthesis work for early-stage product research?

Yes, customer discovery synthesis works for early-stage product research across domains. It guides teams by capturing needs and turning raw notes into structured learning artifacts like pain rankings, insight statements, and vivid quotes.

Why should I track learning gaps and assumptions during customer interviews?

You should track learning gaps and assumptions during customer interviews to enforce evidence-based conclusions. This prevents premature solution ideation and ensures your problem statements are fully grounded in actual discovery data.
