FAQPage Schema

How do I stress-test a product plan to surface hidden assumptions?▼

You can stress-test a product plan by applying Socratic questioning to systematically expose hidden assumptions and gaps. This method uses a one-question-per-message protocol to challenge your design decisions and trace uncertainties.

What is Socratic questioning for design review and how does it work?▼

Socratic questioning for design review is a structured method to expose flaws by forcing sequential, critical questions about a plan. It works by applying one question per message, tracking decisions as resolved, open, or flagged, and outputting a Grill Report.

How do I start a guided session to review risks in a strategic roadmap?▼

To start a guided session for reviewing risks in a strategic roadmap, provide your plan or design document and request a grilling session. The process begins by challenging the key assumptions outlined in your roadmap.

Can I use this Socratic grilling method for architecture and process decisions?▼

Yes, you can use this Socratic grilling method for architecture and process decisions. It is specifically suitable for plan vetting and architecture decisions where systematic challenge of assumptions is needed to ensure structural integrity.

What is the best way to maintain a decision log during a plan critique?▼

The best way to maintain a decision log during a plan critique is to systematically track each questioned item as resolved, open, or flagged. This structured logging produces a final report that traces all decisions and uncertainties.

What are the limitations of using a one-question-per-message protocol for risk management?▼

A limitation of the one-question-per-message protocol for risk management is that it requires a sequential, multi-turn interaction to fully surface all flaws. It is not a quick automated scan but a deliberate, step-by-step stress test of your design.
