pm-value-hypothesis-testerlisted

Pressure-test a value hypothesis (the what / who / how / why-now) before resources are committed, design the smallest experiment that would falsify it, and pre-commit kill criteria. Use when the user is about to launch, fundraise, or scale a product and wants the bet stress-tested — or when they're stuck on a fuzzy "we'll figure it out" hypothesis. Catches insight-free products, segments that are needy but not desperate, hedged "who" decisions, and skipped early-adopter beachheads. Returns a sharpened hypothesis, the falsifying experiment, and the kill threshold.

# PM value hypothesis tester Helps a PM articulate and stress-test the value hypothesis underneath a product before the team pours in resources to scale it. Anchored in `decision-making/value-hypothesis.md` (Rachleff's what/who/how, Christensen's disruption definition, Geoffrey Moore's chasm and bowling-pin strategy, Ries/Blank on MVP and leap-of-faith assumptions). The skill is opinionated. It will refuse to accept "SMBs in North America" as a who. It will push back on "subscription" as a how when no rationale is given. It will demand the falsifying answer be written down before any experiment is run. ## When to use Use this when: - The user is **about to launch or scale** a product and wants the underlying bet pressure-tested - The user is **fundraising** and the investor wants more evidence the bet holds together - The user has a **product that's not growing** and is trying to figure out which assumption is wrong - The user is **wrestling with whether to pivot** — and which dimension (who / how / what) - The user is **starting from an idea** and wants to convert it into a testable hypothesis instead of jumping to building Don't use this when: - The product already has clear PMF and the question is **how to grow** — use `frameworks/04-post-pmf-growth.md` - The user wants to **measure existing PMF** — use `frameworks/03-pre-pmf-validation.md` and `pm-metrics-critic` - The decision is **whether to kill an existing feature** — use `pm-decision-coach` with kill-criteria fr
