Write a PMF-grade value hypothesis

Shape 2–3 solution hypotheses from problem statement and customer desperation

When you have a validated problem and need to diverge on solution direction before concept-testing.

• · problem statement, discovery notes, desperation evidence, customer constraints

• · 3 solution shapes (what/who/how + leap of faith + evidence + falsification per shape)

Defensible problem statement ready (Stage 03); customer desperation validated

• · Solution shapes too similar (all variations on same idea, not divergent)
• · Shapes miss the actual desperation lever (over-engineered)
• · Leap of faith is implicit, not explicit (hard to test)

• · 3 shapes represent 3 different leaps of faith (force divergence)
• · Each shape explicitly maps to desperation evidence from discovery
• · Falsification test per shape (what kills each hypothesis)
