description

Compute quantitative Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI) Opportunity Scores from customer importance and satisfaction survey ratings. Use when given numerical survey data (1-10 scale), mean importance and satisfaction scores, or survey JSON/CSV files, and asked to compute opportunity scores, classify outcomes into opportunity tiers, or run the deterministic calculation script. Do not use to invent survey scores from qualitative text or recommend product strategy.

JTBD Opportunity Calculator

Use customer importance and satisfaction ratings to pinpoint the most valuable unaddressed needs.

---

Use this when

• You have quantitative survey rating data ($1\text{--}10$ scale) for customer desired outcomes.
• You need to compute mathematical ODI Opportunity Scores ($Opp = Importance + \max(Importance - Satisfaction, 0)$).
• You want to classify outcome metrics into extreme_underserved, high_underserved, moderate_underserved, appropriately_served, or overserved_candidate.

Don't use this when

• You do not have numerical survey data (never convert qualitative interview text into fake numbers!).
• You need to formulate outcome metric statements from scratch (use jtbd-outcome-engineer).
• You need to evaluate market growth strategies (use jtbd-growth-strategist).

Minimum input

• Minimum Input: Numerical importance and satisfaction mean ratings on a matching $1\text{--}10$ scale, sample size $N$, and outcome statements.
• Templates Available: Use templates under skills/jtbd-opportunity-calculator/templates/:
  • survey-input-template.json
  • survey-input-template.csv
  • survey-question-template.md

If ratings are missing or scales are non-10-point, returns calculation_status: blocked.

What you get

1. Executive Summary: Top underserved outcomes, outcomes not to prioritize, data strength rating, and recommended next steps.
2. Mathematical Opportunity Scores: Exact deterministic score calculations ($Opp$ range $1.0\text{--}20.0$).
3. Outcome Classifications: Objective categorization based on mathematical thresholds.

Quick prompt

"Compute Opportunity Scores for this survey data: '[Paste JSON/CSV ratings or run calculate_opportunity.py]'."

What to do next

• High underserved outcomes ($Opp \ge 10.0$)? Collect market price/cost/performance evidence and pass to jtbd-growth-strategist to evaluate candidate growth strategies.

---

Mathematical Formula

$$\text{Opportunity Score (Opp)} = \text{Importance} + \max(\text{Importance} - \text{Satisfaction}, 0)$$

• Scale Requirement: Importance and Satisfaction MUST be on matching $1.0\text{--}10.0$ scales.
• Threshold Classifications:
  • extreme_underserved: $Opp \ge 15.0$
  • high_underserved: $12.0 \le Opp < 15.0$
  • moderate_underserved: $10.0 \le Opp < 12.0$
  • appropriately_served: $8.0 \le Opp < 10.0$
  • overserved_candidate: $Opp < 8.0$ (Requires $S > I$)

Deterministic Script Execution

Run the bundled Python calculation script directly against a survey JSON file:

python3 skills/jtbd-opportunity-calculator/scripts/calculate_opportunity.py \
  path/to/survey_input.json > opportunity_results.json
