Icp Use Case Definition
Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.
Procedure
- Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
- Establish the evidence baseline using user research, win/loss evidence, market data, product capabilities, adoption data, and sales/customer interviews. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
- Segment by meaningful problem/context differences, identify who experiences urgent value, map jobs to capabilities, and reject personas unsupported by evidence.
- Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
- Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
- Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.
Quality gate
Each ICP and use case explains a real buying or adoption decision and links to evidence.
