Example in action

See how this prompt transforms a real input into a structured result.

Example input

Feature idea: Allow students to pause their streaming subscription for up to three months. Customer evidence: Interview participants reported cancelling during exam periods and returning later. Product strategy: Improve six-month retention in the student segment. Constraints: The billing platform supports cancellation but pause functionality has not been tested.

Example output

Problem Clarity: High. Students temporarily leave during predictable low-usage periods. Customer Evidence: Moderate. Qualitative interviews identify the behavior, but its prevalence is unknown. Strategic Alignment: High. The feature directly supports retention. Primary Risk: Paused subscriptions may reduce revenue without improving long-term retention. Smallest Testable Version: Offer a manually administered pause option to a limited student cohort. Success Metrics: - Pause adoption rate - Reactivation rate - Six-month retention - Net revenue impact Recommendation: Validate first. Quantify cancellation reasons and run a controlled pilot before full billing integration.
