What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps product teams uncover the hidden assumptions that could cause a product idea to fail before time and budget are wasted. It turns an implicit PMContext into an explicit risk map across eight categories, so teams can see what must be true, how confident they are, and what should be tested first.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 8-category assumption mapping: Identifies assumptions across Value, Usability, Viability, Feasibility, Ethics, GTM, Strategy, and Team so risk coverage is not limited to user demand alone.
- Confidence and priority scoring: Labels each assumption with confidence and ranks it by impact and likelihood of being wrong, making the highest-risk unknowns visible.
- Cheapest-next-test planning: Defines low-cost validation steps for the top assumptions using a staged testing ladder, making it easy to move from discussion to evidence.
- Use case: When a PM has already built a PMContext for a new feature or product concept, this Skill can produce a structured assumption register, highlight missing risk categories with [待确认], and prepare the top five assumptions for fast validation.
Quick Start
Ask the AI to use pm-assumption on the current PMContext to identify all eight risk categories, rank the top assumptions, and propose the cheapest test for each top risk.
