SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you evaluate a product plan, roadmap, or scope decision before you commit to building it. It catches weak problem validation, goal drift, unclear success metrics, weak positioning, and oversized bets by forcing a structured multi-lens review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Problem validation gate: Starts with an explicit check that the problem and outcome are real before judging the solution.
  • Six-lens product review: Convenes orthogonal perspectives for goal fidelity, user desirability, measurable outcomes, market positioning, and delivery risk.
  • Consensus with dissent preserved: Produces a synthesized verdict while keeping unresolved conflicts and blockers visible.
  • Use case: Use it to review a PRD, roadmap, or scope decision and identify the biggest risks before execution.

Quick Start

Ask the product-council skill to review a self-contained product plan or document and return a structured verdict with key risks and dissent.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a product roadmap before committing to execution?

Stress-testing a product roadmap requires a multi-lens review that validates the core problem and sizes the bet before execution. A structured product review checks goal fidelity, user desirability, measurable outcomes, market positioning, and delivery risk to surface weak points.

What is a problem validation gate in product planning?

A problem validation gate is an explicit check ensuring the problem and expected outcome are real before judging the solution. It prevents teams from building oversized bets by forcing validation of the core issue prior to executing any roadmap or scope decisions.

How do I review a PRD to identify scope and goal drift risks?

Reviewing a PRD for goal drift involves applying orthogonal perspectives to evaluate measurable outcomes and positioning. A consensus verdict with preserved dissent keeps unresolved conflicts and blockers visible, highlighting the biggest scope risks before execution.

Can I use a product review skill for external targets that need debate?

Yes, a product review skill can evaluate external targets needing debate by applying six-lens scrutiny across goal fidelity, user desirability, and delivery risk. It processes self-contained planning docs to produce a synthesized verdict with recorded dissent on stakeholder analysis and outcome validation.

Does product plan evaluation work for measuring delivery risk and market positioning?

Product plan evaluation works for measuring delivery risk and market positioning by convening orthogonal perspectives. It assesses scope decisions through measurement and goal fidelity lenses, producing a synthesized verdict that highlights unresolved blockers and validates outcomes.
