SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps product teams quickly determine the most cost-effective PoL validation method to learn the truth about a hypothesis, avoiding overbuilding or misaligned experiments.

Core Features & Use Cases

Five PoL probe flavors (Feasibility Check, Task-Focused Test, Narrative Prototype, Synthetic Data Simulation, Vibe-Coded PoL Probe) with defined questions, timelines, and tooling guidance.
Clear anti-patterns to avoid (prototype theater, testing multiple hypotheses at once, defaulting to code) and practical remedies.
Step-by-step workflow: gather context, identify core question, select recommended probe, apply and iterate, with templates and example scenarios.
Optional facilitation and artifact templates (pol-probe.md) for documenting decisions and learnings.

Quick Start

Describe your hypothesis, risk, timeline, and resources, and I will recommend the best PoL probe type and next steps.

FAQPage Schema

How do I choose the right validation method to test a product hypothesis?▼

Choosing the right validation method involves matching your hypothesis type, timeline, and resources to the appropriate PoL probe flavor. The skill evaluates your context to recommend a specific probe type, such as a Feasibility Check or Task-Focused Test, ensuring cost-effective validation.

What is a PoL probe and when do I need different probe flavors?▼

A PoL probe is a targeted validation method to learn the truth about a product hypothesis without overbuilding. You need different probe flavors depending on your goal, such as using Synthetic Data Simulation for edge-case modeling or a Vibe-Coded PoL Probe for live-user interaction.

How do I run a PoL validation probe step by step?▼

To run a PoL validation probe, follow a structured workflow: gather context, identify your core question, select the recommended probe type, and apply and iterate. The skill provides artifact templates, best practices, and a guided execution path for this process.

What are common anti-patterns to avoid when testing product hypotheses?▼

Common anti-patterns to avoid when testing product hypotheses include prototype theater, testing multiple hypotheses at once, and defaulting to code. The skill provides practical remedies for these issues to ensure your PoL validation remains focused and accurate.

Can I use a PoL probe for testing technical feasibility and stakeholder alignment?▼

Yes, you can use a PoL probe for testing technical feasibility and stakeholder alignment. The skill covers these specific scenarios by recommending tailored probe flavors, such as a Feasibility Check for technical viability or a Narrative Prototype for stakeholder alignment.
