Create Opportunities
Extract opportunities from research and organize them using the Opportunity Solution Tree.

user-interviews/snapshots/
- Synthesis documents from
user-interviews/synthesis/
- Strategic materials from
company-level-context/
Output
- Format: Markdown (
.md)
- Location:
opportunities/[topic]/
- Filename:
opportunities-[topic]-v[version].md
Key principles
- Focus on customer needs, pain points, and desires (not feature requests)
- Use problem-focused statement format: "I want to ~ but ~ makes it difficult"
- Organize using Opportunity Solution Tree structure
- Pause for user review at two checkpoints
Process
- Context Analysis: Scan strategic materials for evaluation criteria
- Extract Opportunities: From snapshots and synthesis, using problem-focused statements
- Map Opportunities: Place in Opportunity Solution Tree (Outcome -> Parent -> Child -> Leaf)
- User Review #1: Present candidates, incorporate feedback
- Assess Opportunities: Compare siblings through 4 lenses (sizing, market, company, customer)
- User Review #2: Present priority comparison, incorporate feedback
- Propose Target: Mark one leaf node as Target Opportunity (reversible)
