Decision

Build, refine or stop—with reasons
Risks and next milestone
A clearer workflow

From raw material to a confident next move.

Keep the source, the synthesis and the decision together instead of spreading them across tabs, docs and chat.

01

Write the thesis

Make the target user, painful job, value promise and business model explicit.

02

Hunt for disproof

Collect real alternatives, customer language and test results that challenge the idea.

03

Make the call

Score confidence, document the biggest remaining risk and define a concrete next milestone.

Board structure

Start with the right questions already visible.

Use these sections as a practical starting point, then rearrange the canvas as your understanding grows.

Desirability

  • Urgency and frequency of pain
  • Current workaround
  • Customer language
  • Willingness to switch or pay

Viability

  • Reachable market
  • Acquisition path
  • Price and cost assumptions
  • Competitive pressure

Feasibility

  • Critical workflow
  • Technical unknowns
  • Manual-first test
  • Time to meaningful proof

Find the weak assumption before it becomes expensive.
