Turn discovery notes into problem statement

Turn discovery notes into defensible one-page problem statement

When a founder has finished a discovery batch and needs to crystallize one sharp problem before designing a solution.

• · customer discovery notes, interview transcripts, 3+ named desperate customers with behavioral markers

• · 1-page problem statement (who, pain, trigger, frequency, magnitude, alternatives, desperation evidence)

Completed 10+ customer discovery interviews; identified desperation markers in notes

• · Lists 5 pains instead of one (unfocused)
• · Desperate customer is vague ('companies like X' instead of named individuals)
• · Evidence is stated enthusiasm, not behavioral (pre-pay, workaround, unprompted pain)

• · Enforces single pain with highest frequency × magnitude × desperation
• · Three whys cross-check (why solve anything, why now, why you)
• · Evidence audit flags any claim without behavioral proof
