Example in action

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

Example input

Opportunity: Offer a discounted streaming package to university students. Business context: The company wants to acquire younger customers and improve long-term retention. Existing evidence: Students are price-sensitive, but no research confirms willingness to complete eligibility verification. Constraints: The product must use the existing billing platform.

Example output

Riskiest Assumption: A meaningful number of students will complete verification in exchange for the proposed discount. Research Questions: - How do students currently choose streaming services? - What verification effort is acceptable? - What discount changes the purchase decision? Recommended Methods: 1. Ten problem interviews 2. Landing-page proposition test 3. Clickable verification prototype 4. Concierge eligibility pilot Experiment: Show two discount levels and measure qualified sign-up intent before integration work begins. Continue Criterion: At least 25% of qualified visitors begin verification and 60% of starters complete the prototype flow. Kill or Pivot Criterion: Low completion caused by privacy concerns or insufficient perceived value.
