# Product brainstorming

## Inputs and purpose

Use this workflow to prepare: Options, assumptions and experiment ideas.

Start with: Problem, user evidence, goals and constraints.

Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.

## Procedure

1. Clarify the customer problem, supplied evidence, intended outcome and practical constraints.

2. Generate distinct options that solve the problem in different ways, including simpler process or service changes.

3. Compare options by customer value, feasibility, uncertainty and the smallest test that could invalidate the idea.

4. Return a short set of concepts and experiment plans. Keep imagined demand separate from evidence that customers will adopt or pay.

## Deliverable

Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.

Business value: Compare initiatives and investments using explicit assumptions.

Possible success measures: Milestone delivery, actual benefit, payback and return. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.

## Execution and verification

This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.

Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.

When useful, consult the [input guide](../../../references/INPUT_DATA_GUIDE.md), [calculation reference](../../../references/CALCULATIONS.md) or [output template](../../../references/WORKFLOW_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.md). For tool setup, use the [shared instructions](../../../AGENTS.md).
