pmf-engine-sean-ellis

Systematic measurement of product-market fit using the 40% disappointment threshold and follow-up questions to guide product iteration

poppers-falsifiability

Scientific theories must be testable and capable of being proven false

porters-five-forces

Systematically assess the competitive intensity and attractiveness of an industry by analyzing five fundamental forces that shape competition and profitability

power-laws

Non-linear relationships where a small number of inputs drive the vast majority of outputs

powerful

Patty McCord's Netflix culture framework pairing radical freedom with radical responsibility through context not control

predictable-irrationality

Human irrationality is not random but systematic and predictable, with people consistently deviating from rational decision-making in specific patterns

price-elasticity

Measure demand sensitivity when deciding to raise, lower, or maintain prices

pricing-strategy-models

Strategic pricing frameworks align price with delivered value, leverage cognitive biases, and structure offers to maximize average deal size and conversions

principal-agent-problem

Conflicts arising when one party (agent) makes decisions on behalf of another (principal), but their interests diverge and information is asymmetric

principles-based-thinking

Codify and apply core principles to make consistent decisions across diverse situations rather than relying on rules or intuition

prisoners-dilemma

Recognize situations where individual rational choices lead to collectively worse outcomes - core model for cooperation vs. defection dynamics

probability

Systematic approach to quantifying uncertainty and making better predictions by thinking in terms of likelihoods rather than certainties

product-empowerment

Transform teams from feature factories into empowered missionaries solving problems autonomously with accountability for outcomes

product-market-fit-survey

Sean Ellis test using the 40% rule to measure if your product has achieved product-market fit by surveying active user disappointment

product-trio

Cross-functional PM-Design-Engineering collaboration for better product decisions through continuous collaboration rather than sequential handoffs

prompt-engineering

Systematic techniques for structuring LLM instructions to produce accurate, consistent, and high-quality outputs

property-based-testing

Test software properties with automatically generated inputs instead of hand-written examples, uncovering edge cases humans miss

prospect-theory

Understand how people evaluate risk irrationally through loss aversion and reference points - predict decisions by recognizing pain of loss outweighs equivalent gain

protocol-networks

Protocol network effects emerge when a communication or computational standard is adopted, becoming self-reinforcing as compatible products flood the market

pu-uncarved-block

The state of natural simplicity and wholeness before being shaped by external conditioning, maximizing power through preserving natural potential

raci-matrix

Clarify roles when cross-functional projects cause "who's doing this?" confusion

radical-candor

Kim Scott's feedback framework combining caring personally and challenging directly to give kind, clear, and effective feedback

radical-product-thinking

Translate ambitious product visions into strategy when suffering from feature bloat or metric obsession

rag-patterns

Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures that enhance LLMs with real-time external knowledge to reduce hallucinations

rapid-framework

Clarify decision accountability by assigning five distinct roles (Recommend, Agree, Input, Decide, Perform) when navigating complex multi-stakeholder decisions

red-queen-effect

Recognize competitive environments where you must continuously evolve just to maintain position - standing still means falling behind

redundancy

Build backup systems and duplicate critical components so single failures don't cascade into total system collapse

refactoring-methodologies

Systematically improve code structure without changing behavior using Martin Fowler's catalog of behavior-preserving transformations

refactoring-ui

Practical design tactics for developers who want to create professional UIs without formal design training

referral-systems

Systematic framework for designing customer referral programs with double-sided incentives, optimal timing, friction reduction, and AI-powered optimization

reforge-growth-series

Comprehensive growth methodology covering loops vs funnels, activation habits, retention analysis, and multi-channel growth strategies

regression-to-the-mean

Extreme outcomes tend to be followed by more average ones due to statistical variation

relativity

Recognize that measurements and observations depend on frame of reference—absolute values are less meaningful than relationships and context

requisite-variety-ashbys-law

The First Law of Cybernetics stating that a control system must have at least as much variety (response options) as the system it aims to regulate, otherwise the environment will dominate and destabilize the system

resonance

Amplification that occurs when external input aligns with a system's natural frequency, where small well-timed efforts produce disproportionately large effects

retention-engagement-frameworks

Systematically measure and improve how frequently users return through cohort analysis and behavioral metrics to optimize for product-market fit

retrospectives

When your sprint/project ends - structured reflection framework that turns team experience into actionable improvements

rice-prioritization

Scoring framework using Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort to objectively prioritize product features and projects

risk-matrices

Visual probability-impact assessment tool that categorizes risks on a grid by likelihood and severity to prioritize mitigation efforts

sagan-standard

Calibrate evidence requirements proportional to claim implausibility when evaluating extraordinary assertions
