Problem before solution
A discovery process should turn a proposed solution back into the underlying problem before committing to build.

A source-backed route from problem framing through alpha prototypes, live improvement, and knowledge-card distillation.
A discovery process should turn a proposed solution back into the underlying problem before committing to build.
Discovery should end with a decision about whether the evidence justifies moving into a more expensive exploration phase.
A prototype is most useful when it focuses on the riskiest assumption instead of recreating the entire product.
Alpha work should be judged by what it teaches, not by whether the prototype survives into production.
A live product still needs research, testing, accessibility checks, quality assurance, and performance metrics.
Knowledge card distillation turns useful product lessons into short, source-linked, reusable cards.
