Product discovery

Product discovery is the work of defining the problem, users, and constraints before committing to a build.

Discovery is the stage where you decide what you are really building, who it is for, and what makes the first release worth shipping.

What good discovery produces

A clear target user, a small but valuable problem to solve, and a list of decision rules that keep build choices consistent.

The trap

Discovery can become a never-ending research phase. The goal is not perfect certainty. The goal is enough clarity to make clean trade-offs.

When to stop

Stop when the team can agree on the primary user, the core workflow, and the non-goals. That is the line between learning and stalling.
