SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate and discover customer personas and archetypes empirically, preventing reliance on fictional personas and untested assumptions during Phase 3.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assumption mapping and scoring
  • Experiment design and leap-of-faith testing
  • MVI planning and alpha-test preparation
  • Community-launch planning and archetype synthesis
  • DMU mapping and archetype validation

Quick Start

Review Phase 2 outputs and begin Task 1 by drafting your Assumption Map.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate customer assumptions about my ICP without relying on fictional personas?

You can validate customer assumptions by mapping ICP and pain points, designing experiments, and running leap-of-faith tests to produce evidence-backed archetypes instead of fictional personas.

What is the best way to map the decision making unit (DMU) for a new product launch?

DMU mapping structures your decision making unit analysis by identifying key roles and validating them against empirical evidence gathered during alpha testing and community launches.

How do I design experiments for minimum viable increment (MVI) planning and alpha testing?

Design MVI experiments by scoring assumption maps, prioritizing leap-of-faith variables, and structuring reproducible alpha test plans to validate customer pain and solution fit.

Can I use assumption mapping to prepare for a community launch?

Assumption mapping directly supports community launch planning by scoring untested hypotheses and synthesizing validated archetypes to ensure your rollout targets empirically discovered customer segments.

What outputs should I expect from a structured customer validation process?

Structured customer validation yields an assumption map, an MVI plan, alpha test results, a community launch plan, archetype analysis, and DMU mapping as reproducible, evidence-backed outputs.

When do I need to start archetype formation during my product validation phase?

Archetype formation begins after alpha testing and community launches yield sufficient empirical data, allowing you to synthesize validated pain points and solution behaviors into evidence-backed profiles.
