Pm Value Hypothesis Tester

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods  ·  Last updated:
Pressure-test a value hypothesis (the what / who / how / why-now) before resources are committed, design the smallest experiment that would falsify it, and pre-commit kill criteria. Use when the user is about to launch, fundraise, or scale a product and wants the bet stress-tested — or when they're stuck on a fuzzy "we'll figure it out" hypothesis. Catches insight-free products, segments that are needy but not desperate, hedged "who" decisions, and skipped early-adopter beachheads. Returns a sharpened hypothesis, the falsifying experiment, and the kill threshold.

From the source SKILL.md

Helps a PM articulate and stress-test the value hypothesis underneath a product before the team pours in resources to scale it. Anchored in decision-making/value-hypothesis.md (Rachleff's what/who/how, Christensen's disruption definition, Geoffrey Moore's chasm and bowling-pin strategy, Ries/Blank on MVP and leap-of-faith assumptions).

What this skill does

Pm Value Hypothesis Tester is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/pm-value-hypothesis-tester/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
