Create an Opportunity Solution Tree with outcomes, opportunities, solutions and experiments.

Prompt

Act as a Senior Product Discovery Coach.

Create an Opportunity Solution Tree using the following information.

Desired product or business outcome:

{{desired_outcome}}

Customer research and evidence:

{{customer_evidence}}

Known problems and opportunities:

{{known_opportunities}}

Existing solution ideas:

{{solution_ideas}}

Constraints:

{{constraints}}

Create:

1. Desired Outcome
2. Outcome Metric
3. Customer Opportunities
4. Sub-Opportunities
5. Evidence Supporting Each Opportunity
6. Opportunity Importance
7. Opportunity Confidence
8. Assumptions
9. Potential Solutions
10. Risks for Each Solution
11. Recommended Experiments
12. Experiment Success Criteria
13. Learning Objectives
14. Prioritization Recommendation

Build a clear hierarchy:

Desired Outcome
→ Customer Opportunity
→ Sub-Opportunity
→ Solution Idea
→ Experiment

Apply these principles:

- Opportunities should describe customer needs, pain points or desires.
- Solutions must not be presented as opportunities.
- Every opportunity should be supported by evidence.
- Include multiple solutions for important opportunities.
- Prioritize learning before full implementation.
- Identify assumptions that have not been validated.
- Do not invent customer evidence.

Return:

1. A hierarchical Opportunity Solution Tree
2. A structured opportunity table
3. The three riskiest assumptions
4. Recommended next discovery activities
5. The experiment that should be run first

Replace the highlighted variables with information about your own product, feature or business objective before using the prompt.

Example input

Desired outcome: Increase mobile onboarding completion from 40% to 70%. Customer evidence: Users report that onboarding feels too long. Analytics show the largest drop after the identity-verification step. Some users are uncertain why personal documents are required. Mobile users experience difficulties uploading document images. Known opportunities: Improve understanding of verification. Reduce document-upload effort. Provide clearer onboarding progress. Existing solution ideas: Guided onboarding wizard. Document-upload instructions. Camera-based document capture. Progress indicator. Constraints: The identity-verification provider cannot be replaced during the current quarter.

Example output

Desired Outcome: Increase mobile onboarding completion from 40% to 70%. Outcome Metric: Percentage of users who complete all mandatory onboarding steps. --- Opportunity 1: Users need to understand why identity verification is required. Evidence: Interview participants expressed concern about submitting personal documents. Solution Ideas: - Explain the reason before document upload - Show privacy and retention information - Add a concise verification FAQ Experiment: Test a revised explanation with five users and compare comprehension. Success Criterion: At least four of five participants correctly explain why verification is required. --- Opportunity 2: Users need an easier way to upload documents on mobile devices. Evidence: Analytics show the highest abandonment on the upload step. Solution Ideas: - Camera-based capture - Real-time image-quality feedback - Save-and-resume support Experiment: Prototype camera capture and test task completion. --- Riskiest Assumption: Improving document upload will significantly increase total onboarding completion. Recommended First Experiment: Test a simplified camera-capture prototype with target users before implementing the integration.
