Discovery Interview Prep

Design experiments to test assumptions for an existing product — prototypes, A/B tests, spikes, and other low-effort validation methods. Use when validating assumptions, testing feature ideas cheaply, or planning product experiments.

Test big ideas in just 5 days. Apply Google Ventures' proven methodology to go from problem to validated prototype without months of development. Use when: **New product concepts** that need validation before building; **Big feature decisions** with significant investment required; **Stuck teams** needing to break through analysis paralysis; **Startup pivots** when direction is uncertain; **High-risk bets** where failure is expensive

Design motivation systems using Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (AMP) for products and teams. Use when the user mentions "intrinsic motivation", "gamification isnt working", "team incentives", "autonomy", "mastery", "purpose-driven", "employee engagement", or "reward systems". Also trigger when designing onboarding progression systems, fixing broken gamification, or building team structures that sustain high performance. Covers why carrot-and-stick fails and how to build progress systems. For habit-forming product loops, see hooked-ux. For retention behavior design, see improve-retention.

Analyze and design pricing strategies including pricing models, competitive pricing analysis, willingness-to-pay estimation, and price elasticity. Use when setting prices, evaluating pricing models, preparing for a pricing change, or comparing freemium vs paid approaches.

Designs an A/B test or experiment with clear hypothesis, variants, success metrics, sample size, and duration. Use when planning experiments to validate product changes or test hypotheses.

Specifies requirements for an analytics dashboard including metrics, visualizations, filters, and data sources. Use when requesting dashboards from data teams, defining KPI tracking, or documenting reporting needs.
