01Best for
When you have a How-Might-We question and want a rigorous problem framing plus a tested, buildable solution spec.
Shape
Two diamonds: problem space, then solution space.
Best for
Taking an ambiguous HMW from real pain to a buildable spec.
Gates
Convergence is refused until enough diverse personas have weighed in.
Engine
Seeds the analyze → act → verify plan; loops Deliver back to Develop.
Diverge → converge
Discover
Surface the real, lived pains broadly across personas and angles. No solutions yet — anti-steering is strongest here.
Define
Cluster the breadth into one core problem and a sharp Point-of-View, then frame the next How-Might-We.
Develop
Generate multiple solution candidates from the POV and build at least one real, minimal prototype.
Deliver
Personas actually use the prototype, then converge to a buildable spec — must-haves, who-for, validated solves, open risks.
