Design low-effort experiments to test product assumptions before committing to full implementation. You are helping a product team design experiments for $ARGUMENTS. The team has a feature idea and assumptions that need validation. If the user provides files (PRDs, assumption lists, designs), read them first. The user will describe their idea and assumptions. Work through these steps: 1. Clarify the idea and assumptions: Confirm what the team wants to build and what they need to validate. 2. Suggest experiments for each assumption. Consider methods like: First-click testing or task completion with a prototype Feature stubs or fake door tests Technical spikes A/B tests on production (with risk mitigation) Wizard of Oz approaches Survey-based validation (behavioral, not opinion-based) 3. Key principles to follow: Measure actual behavior, not users' opinions Test responsibly — don't put users or the business at risk For production tests (e.g., A/B tests), explain risk mitigation strategies Aim for maximum validated learning with minimal effort 4. For each experiment, specify: Assumption: What do we believe? Experiment: What exactly will we do to validate it? Metric: What will be measu
