# Runwise discovery workbook

Use this workbook before planning a first release. Answer with evidence where possible; record unknowns as questions to test. This is a planning aid, not a prediction of commercial success.

## Customer and problem
1. Who is the primary user? Describe one specific group.
2. What task are they trying to complete?
3. What triggers that task and how often does it occur?
4. How do they complete it today?
5. Where does the current workflow lose time, money, or trust?
6. What have you observed or heard directly from potential users?
7. What evidence would disprove your current problem hypothesis?

## Buyer and value
8. Who chooses the solution, who pays, and who uses it?
9. What budget or approval process does the buyer follow?
10. What alternative would the buyer compare with this product?
11. What measurable outcome should improve?
12. What baseline measurement do you have today?
13. What makes a first customer willing to try the product?
14. What distribution channel can reach that customer?

## First useful workflow
15. What starts the primary workflow and what completes it?
16. What is the smallest end-to-end result that creates value?
17. Which user roles are essential for that result?
18. What should happen when input is missing, invalid, or duplicated?
19. What evidence shows the workflow works as intended?
20. Which requested features can wait until Post-MVP?
21. What prototype task would help validate the workflow?

## Data and delivery
22. Which data sources and integrations are required?
23. Who can authorize access and what restrictions apply?
24. Which external dependencies could delay the release?
25. What build and running-cost assumptions need review?
26. Who owns decisions, delivery, acceptance, and ongoing support?
27. How will users be onboarded and results measured?
28. What is the next decision, its owner, and the date to review it?
