📄️ Method 1: Scope Conversations
Define project boundaries and stakeholder alignment through structured conversations that surface constraints, expectations, and success criteria.
📄️ Method 2: Design Research
Investigate user needs, behaviors, and environmental conditions through curiosity-driven research that builds an evidence base for synthesis.
📄️ Method 3: Input Synthesis
Transform raw research data into structured insights, themes, and problem statements that frame the transition from understanding to ideation.
📄️ Method 4: Brainstorming
Generate diverse solution ideas through structured divergent thinking and converge on promising directions through evidence-informed clustering.
📄️ Method 5: User Concepts
Shape brainstorming themes into structured concept descriptions evaluated through desirability, feasibility, and viability lenses.
📄️ Method 6: Lo-Fi Prototypes
Build fast, scrappy prototypes that test concept assumptions through real-environment feedback and constraint discovery.
📄️ Method 7: Hi-Fi Prototypes
Translate lo-fi constraint discoveries into technically feasible implementations that validate whether user-validated solutions can be built and deployed.
📄️ Method 8: Test and Validate
Conduct structured user testing of hi-fi prototypes to gather evidence for go, iterate, or revisit decisions across the nine-method sequence.
📄️ Method 9: Iteration at Scale
Transform user-validated solutions into production systems through telemetry-driven refinement, organizational deployment, and continuous improvement.
