description: "Extract and risk-rate hidden assumptions in a product brief or PRD. Use when asked to review a product brief for assumptions, audit a PRD for risks, find hidden assumptions, validate product plans, or run an assumption analysis. Produces a prioritised assumption map with confidence and impact scores, recommended validation methods, and critical assumption flags."

# Assumption Mapper Skill
|
||
|
||
Surface and prioritize the untested assumptions embedded in any product plan before development begins.
|
||
|
||
## Required Inputs
|
||
|
||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||
- **Product brief, PRD, or concept description** (even rough notes work)
|
||
- **Stage** (concept / discovery / pre-build / post-launch — affects which assumptions matter most)
|
||
|
||
## Process
|
||
1. Read the provided brief, PRD, or concept description
|
||
2. Extract assumptions across four categories:
|
||
- **Desirability** (do users want this?)
|
||
- **Feasibility** (can we build it?)
|
||
- **Viability** (will it sustain the business?)
|
||
- **Usability** (can users actually use it?)
|
||
3. Score each assumption:
|
||
- Confidence (1-5): How sure are we this is true?
|
||
- Impact (1-5): How badly does the plan fail if this assumption is wrong?
|
||
- Priority = Impact − Confidence (higher = test first)
|
||
4. **Validate completeness** — Ensure at least one assumption per category. If a category is empty, re-read the brief looking specifically for that type.
|
||
5. Output a ranked list with recommended validation methods
|
||
|
||
## Output Structure
|
||
|
||
### Assumption Map: [Feature/Product Name]
|
||
|
||
| Assumption | Category | Confidence | Impact | Priority | Validation Method |
|
||
|------------|----------|------------|--------|----------|-------------------|
|
||
| [assumption] | [type] | [1-5] | [1-5] | [score] | [method] |
|
||
|
||
#### Critical Assumptions (Impact 4+ and Confidence 2 or below)
|
||
[Flagged items with detailed validation recommendations]
|
||
|
||
#### Top 3 Assumptions to Validate First
|
||
[Detailed recommendations including specific research method, estimated effort, and what the result would change]
|
||
|
||
## Example (Partial)
|
||
|
||
Input: *"We're building a self-serve onboarding flow to reduce time-to-value for SMB customers."*
|
||
|
||
| Assumption | Category | Confidence | Impact | Priority | Validation Method |
|
||
|------------|----------|------------|--------|----------|-------------------|
|
||
| SMB users can complete onboarding without human help | Usability | 2 | 5 | 3 | Unmoderated usability test (n=8) |
|
||
| Faster onboarding correlates with higher retention | Viability | 3 | 4 | 1 | Cohort analysis of current onboarding times vs. 90-day retention |
|
||
| The current onboarding is the primary reason for slow time-to-value | Desirability | 2 | 4 | 2 | User interviews with recent churned SMB accounts |
|
||
|
||
## Quality Checks
|
||
|
||
- [ ] At least one assumption per category (Desirability, Feasibility, Viability, Usability)
|
||
- [ ] All Impact 4+ / Confidence 2− assumptions flagged as CRITICAL
|
||
- [ ] Each validation method is specific (not just "do research" — name the method and sample size)
|
||
- [ ] Priority scores are consistent (Impact − Confidence, higher = more urgent)
