Safety checkedDefine: Frame the Problem and Opportunity
Five skills for problem framing, hypothesis articulation, opportunity mapping, jobs-to-be-done canvas, and prioritization framework execution.
What problem does this solve?
Frames the problem space into a clear, testable thesis and prioritizes opportunities. Converts problem exploration into outcome-driven definitions that align teams and guide solution exploration.
How does it work?
- Start with Discover outputs (research, journey map, market context). 2. Run problem-statement to frame the customer need, business context, and success criteria. 3. Create a testable hypothesis with define-hypothesis to articulate what you believe and how to validate it. 4. Map outcome-driven opportunities with opportunity-tree (Teresa Torres) or jobs-to-be-done canvas to surface solution space. 5. Use prioritization-framework to run RICE, ICE, MoSCoW, Weighted Scoring, and Kano in parallel and compare. Output: crystal-clear problem statement, validated assumptions, opportunity map, and ranked priority list ready for solution exploration.

What's required to run this?
prioritization-framework filters frameworks by data availability (e.g., Kano requires customer research); it refuses to fabricate scores and produces an estimation scaffold when input data is missing. All skills label confidence and assumption levels explicitly.
