Product idea evaluation involves running a proposed plan through structured interrogation using six forcing questions to test viability and determine scope. This process separates mechanical answers from taste decisions, yielding a concise decision guide with actionable recommendations.

Determining feature scope involves answering a structured set of six forcing questions that evaluate the idea's viability. Based on your responses, the process recommends one of four scope modes to guide your product planning and build effort.

Pressure-testing a project plan requires applying structured interrogation to challenge the feature's viability before investing build effort. A taste-decision gate separates objective answers from subjective choices requiring your operator input, preventing unnecessary development.

Structured interrogation for project scoping is accessible without prior experience because the process provides a fixed set of six forcing questions. However, you must provide operator input at the taste-decision gate to resolve genuine subjective choices.

Structured interrogation for feature evaluation should be avoided when a project requires immediate execution without a viability check, or if you cannot provide the necessary operator input for taste decisions required by the decision guide output.
