Process

The Proof-to-Product Loop.

Frame the opportunity, shape the product surface, build the artifact, test the signal, then decide whether to kill, refine, pilot, or productize.

Frame

Clarify the user, job, workflow, pain, buyer, and business case.

Shape

Narrow the promise into a product surface with a clear first milestone.

Build

Create the prototype, workflow, dashboard, demo, or AI-powered tool.

Test

Collect market, user, stakeholder, or sales signals around the artifact.
