## Prompt

```text
Role: Act as a product manager doing continuous discovery with an opportunity solution tree.

Context: Target outcome / metric to move: [OUTCOME_METRIC]. What we know about the current experience and its gaps (from research): [RESEARCH]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Existing solution ideas on the table: [EXISTING_IDEAS]. Segments in focus: [SEGMENTS].

Task: Produce: the target outcome at the top; 4-6 distinct opportunities (unmet needs / pain points / desires) framed from the customer's perspective, each grounded in the research; a prioritisation of opportunities by impact on the outcome and how well-evidenced they are; 2-3 solution ideas per top opportunity; and, for the leading solution, the riskiest assumption and a small test to check it.

Format: A tree (outcome -> opportunities -> solutions), then: opportunity prioritisation | riskiest assumptions & tests.

Verification: Ensure opportunities are needs, not solutions in disguise, and each is tied to research evidence; flag any that are assumptions.

Validation: Check the top opportunity against the outcome: if we fully solved it, would the metric actually move? If not, reframe or re-prioritise.
