Product Taste & Intuition

Scope

Covers

• Developing product taste (what "good" looks like) through deliberate exposure, observation, and critique
• Using intuition as a hypothesis generator (turning "gut feel" into testable hypotheses)
• Building a repeatable practice loop (exposure hours → analysis → validation → updated taste rules)

When to use

• "Help me improve my product taste / product sense."
• "Calibrate what ‘good onboarding’ looks like for our product category."
• "Turn my intuition about this flow into testable hypotheses."
• "Create a structured way to study great products and extract patterns."

When NOT to use

• You need to decide what to build (use problem-definition, prioritizing-roadmap, or defining-product-vision).
• You need user evidence first (use conducting-user-interviews or usability-testing).
• You want aesthetic critique only (this is product experience: value, UX, clarity, trust, speed--not just visuals).
