Icp Use Case Definition

Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.

Procedure

1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. 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.
3. Segment by meaningful problem/context differences, identify who experiences urgent value, map jobs to capabilities, and reject personas unsupported by evidence.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. 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.
