Gather All Baseline Problem and Solution Evidence
Compile all primary customer discovery notes, interview transcripts, observation logs, and current solution mockups into a centralised review dossier. Synthesise these raw sources into a clear side-by-side mapping of customer pain points against specific feature hypotheses.
Completing this action brings together every disparate piece of primary customer data and product specification into a single reviewable location. It ensures the Problem-Solution Fit Review is conducted against verifiable reality rather than selective memory or ungrounded founder optimism.
The founder must present an indexed evidence dossier containing mapped interview quotes, quantified user friction logs, and initial solution wireframes or workflows. Every claimed customer problem must be explicitly linked to raw, unedited source material.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
What proportion of this evidence stems from unprompted customer statements rather than leading survey questions?
- 2
How recently was this qualitative data collected, and does it reflect current market dynamics?
- 3
Which key customer personas are notably absent or under-represented in this evidence dossier?
- 4
How have you verified that the solution mockups directly address the exact workflows documented in the interview logs?
- 5
What criteria did you use to filter out polite customer encouragement from genuine operational pain?
