How it works · a worked example

One product problem.
Follow every decision.

What happens after you bring an idea? Follow an onboarding-improvement mission from the first question to work you can inspect.

The example

“Why do people leave during setup?”

Start with a question. Bring what you know. Keep the assumptions visible.

Example mission · Improve onboarding

Who contributes. Who challenges. Who decides.

Follow the direction of a judgement through the team. This is an illustrative workflow, not a running customer mission.

Research Planning → Web Research → Evidence Verification

A source register with citations and gaps

Research Synthesis sends the evidence brief to Product Discovery.

Missing evidence stays visible; synthetic interviews do not count as customer evidence.

Step 1 of 6

Start with a problem worth understanding.

You run a small software product. People reach setup, but you don't yet know why some leave. A useful mission starts with a question, not a predetermined redesign.

You bring

Investigate where new users struggle in onboarding. Compare options and draft an experiment. Do not change the live product.

  • Clarify the audience, desired outcome and non-goals.
  • Identify which notes or product data are available.
  • Propose bounded work and a credit ceiling.
You receiveA mission brief and a plan to review.

Your call: Does this scope answer the question you actually have?

A team with a purpose

The right disciplines.
A shared brief.

Research examines the sources. Product compares the options. Design makes the journey tangible. Reviewers challenge the output. Each contribution has a job and a place in the record.

The 150-role catalogue describes the wider workforce. Missions use enabled capabilities; it does not mean 150 agents run on every request.

Your part in the process

Delegate the work.
Keep the judgement.

A useful AI team makes it easier to decide. It should surface uncertainty, pause for consequential calls and let you send work back.

  • Set the objectiveName the audience, outcome and constraints.
  • Inspect the evidenceAsk what is supported, inferred or still unknown.
  • Approve the directionAccept, change or reject the recommendation.

Know what you are receiving

A prototype is a prototype.
A test needs evidence.

Current programmes produce documents, decision records, a lightweight HTML prototype and an export. Generation mode is disclosed. Static checks do not mean the application ran, and a release plan does not mean it was deployed.

The next loop

The result should inform
the next question.

Connected outcome review is the next PSI capability. For now, use the experiment brief to record the expected result, then add what you actually observe. Learning begins with an honest comparison.
