Product Discovery
Strategic user research and problem validation expertise — from interview techniques and JTBD to opportunity sizing and insight synthesis.
Philosophy
Great products start with great problems. Discovery is how you find problems worth solving for people who will pay.
The best product discovery:
- Talk to users, not stakeholders — Customers know their problems, not solutions
- Validate problems before solutions — Build the right thing, then build it right
- Quantify and qualify — Numbers tell you what, conversations tell you why
- Continuous over batched — Weekly habits beat quarterly projects
