Product Strategist

Product-market fit validation involves systematically testing problem severity, solution viability, market size, and business economics through structured phases. This Skill guides you through five validation gates using customer interviews, severity matrices, TAM/SAM/SOM analysis, and LTV:CAC metrics to produce decision-ready outputs before development.

Customer discovery requires interviewing potential users to assess problem severity and gather evidence. This Skill structures the interview process as part of its validation framework, helping you identify the riskiest assumptions first and collect data through required artifacts like severity matrices and customer feedback.

Market sizing uses TAM (Total Addressable Market), SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market), and SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market) frameworks. This Skill incorporates market-sizing analysis alongside LTV:CAC unit economics validation to ensure your business model is viable before committing resources.

Early-stage discovery requires structured validation across five phases with required activities and decision gates. This Skill imposes a framework that sequences customer interviews, prototype testing, market analysis, and business-model validation to systematically de-risk product assumptions.

Yes. This Skill prioritizes MVP scope based on validation findings, ensuring you build only the features that address validated customer problems and business requirements. The five-phase framework culminates in prioritized MVP decisions backed by evidence.

Validation gates identify showstopper risks early, preventing costly development of non-viable products. If TAM is insufficient or problem severity is low, you can pivot, refine your approach, or abandon the idea before building—saving time and resources.
