Sketch Concept Directions Before You Build
Describe your problem, your users, and your biggest constraint, and get 3 differentiated concept directions — ranked by fit — before you commit engineering time.
- 3 concept directions, ranked by your constraint
- Each with a clear one-line tradeoff
- No signup required
A structured starting point — validate the top-ranked direction with real users before building.
Describe Your Problem
A short description plus two choices — we'll rank three concept directions against your constraint.
Your Concept Directions
How the Concept Directions Are Ranked
- Describe the problem. A short, optional note so your results stay grounded in your specific case.
- Tell us your target user. Individuals, small teams, or large organizations shape a contextual note on delivery.
- Tell us your biggest constraint. Time, budget, or technical capability determines which direction ranks first.
- Get three ranked directions. Each with a plain-language description and a one-line tradeoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three concept directions?
Manual-first (Wizard of Oz), automated-lite (a minimal automated build), and integration-based (stitching together existing tools). Each represents a genuinely different way to deliver the same customer outcome.
How is the ranking decided?
Each direction has a fixed fit score against time, budget, and technical-capability constraints — a rule-based lookup, not a random suggestion. Your selected constraint determines which direction ranks highest.
Should I only build the top-ranked direction?
It is the best starting point given your constraint, but review all three — a lower-ranked direction might still fit better once you weigh factors the tool cannot see, like existing team skills or a partner integration already in place.
Is this the same as a Wizard of Oz MVP?
Manual-first is one of the three directions and is closely related to a Wizard of Oz MVP. If that direction ranks best for you, use the dedicated Wizard of Oz MVP Planner to flesh out the operational plan.
Does this replace user research?
No — it narrows your options before you invest engineering time. Validate the top-ranked direction with a handful of real target users before committing to build it.
If your top direction is manual-first, flesh it out with the Wizard of Oz MVP Planner, or check overall readiness with the MVP Readiness Assessment.
