Product Discovery Risk Assessment

When to Use

Apply this skill when you have a product idea, feature proposal, or initiative and need to decide:

• Which risks are present and how severe each is
• Which discovery technique categories to deploy
• In what sequence to run discovery activities

This is the hub skill for product discovery. Run it before any technique-specific discovery work. Downstream skills (framing technique selection, prototype selection, value testing, viability testing) consume the structured risk assessment this skill produces.

Do NOT use this skill to execute discovery techniques — it produces a plan, not the techniques themselves.
