01Best for
Ongoing discovery, roadmap signal, tracking stance over time.
Output
A running signal: what changed, who shifted, and why — week over week.
Best for
Always-on discovery, roadmap validation, tracking belief drift.
Grounding
Memory persists; get_state_at lets you time-travel a persona’s view.
Anti-pattern
No one-shot survey — the panel accumulates and remembers.
The loop
Stand up the panel
A persistent population that simulates days between touchpoints.
Weekly touchpoint
A short council on this week’s question — grounded in their week.
Track the shift
Memory shows who changed their mind and what caused it.
Synthesize the trend
A signal you can take to the roadmap, with the receipts.
02How it works
Runs through d.school Micro-Cycle.
A job is the outcome you buy; underneath, the run follows a proven framework and reaches for one move at a time. Continuous Discovery runs through d.school Micro-Cycle, using council, prototype test along the way — and it won’t converge until the panel below has weighed in.
The formats
Coverage
At least 3 personas, spanning segment · lifecycle-stage · recency-of-use. A light, repeatable loop rather than a one-off: a small standing panel that spans lifecycle stages, so signal is comparable cadence-over-cadence.
