Breaks down ideas into small, disposable exploration tasks to quickly assess feasibility without committing to a full build.
Provide a concise spike plan by decomposing the idea into 2-5 questions, outline research approaches, implement minimal evidence, and capture a verdict.

A spike experiment is a throwaway prototype used to validate feasibility quickly. It decomposes ideas into small, disposable tasks to assess technical viability before committing resources to a full build.
To test feasibility, run lightweight spike experiments that decompose ideas into 2-5 independent questions. Apply Given/When/Then framing to research approaches, build minimal evidence, and capture a final verdict.
Structure your spike workflow by following five steps: decompose, align, research, build, and verdict. This guides teams from initial ideation through approach comparison to a final decision recommendation.
Yes, spike experiments reduce risk during early research by surfacing unknowns and comparing approaches before coding. They provide structured verdicts to inform product decisions and guide real engineering work.
The best way to validate ideas is through throwaway experimentation. Break ideas into independent spikes with Given/When/Then framing, implement minimal evidence, and capture outcomes to guide your decision to build or pivot.
Avoid spike experiments when you need production-ready features rather than feasibility insights. Spikes are disposable explorations designed to answer specific questions and capture a verdict, not to deliver deployable software components.
