solution-brief

What problem does it solve?

The solution brief closes the gap between discovery and a full PRD by providing a concise, evidence-backed decision document so stakeholders can quickly decide whether to invest further, run a spike, pivot, or kill an idea.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Concise Decision Gate: Summarizes the problem, proposed approach, alternatives considered, top risks, success metrics, and an effort estimate on a single page.
• Evidence-Driven: Encourages incorporation of discovery notes, experiments, and research so recommendations are justified and assumptions are explicit.
• Stakeholder Communication: Ideal for leadership reviews, cross-functional decision meetings, or when a team needs a lightweight artifact before committing to a PRD.
• Use Case: After user interviews reveal onboarding friction, produce a brief comparing guided onboarding vs. checklist improvements, surface risks, and recommend next steps.
