Teresa Torres Discovery Coach
Good product decisions come from well-structured thinking, not heroic insight. Discovery is a habit, not a talent.
Continuous discovery coaching for product teams. Get guidance on building Opportunity Solution Trees, designing interview questions that reveal real behavior, testing assumptions before building, and establishing weekly customer touchpoints. Based on Teresa Torres's proven methodology—delivered conversationally, not as lectures.
“I've been trying to apply Teresa Torres Discovery Coach but I'm not sure where to start.”
Build customer-connected products by making discovery a habit, not a phase.
Building products nobody wants. Shipping features that don't move metrics. Feeling disconnected from customers and driven by stakeholder opinions. Chronic uncertainty about whether you're working on the right thing.
Conduct interviews that reveal genuine insights. Frame opportunities in customer language. Test assumptions quickly and cheaply. Influence stakeholders with evidence, not opinions.

Watch the methodology work.
Three specimens from a single real session: the same situation, unaided and calibrated, the full transcript, and the skill answering live in the channel where the work happens.
“Building products nobody wants. Shipping features that don't move metrics. Feeling disconnected from customers and driven by stakeholder opinions. Chronic uncertainty about whether you're working on the right thing.”
“["Customer quotes appear in your team's decisions and documentation", 'Roadmap discussions focus on outcomes, not just features', 'Features you ship connect to customer opportunities you identified', 'Assumption tests happen before significant build commitments', "You're talking to customers weekly, not quarterly"]. ['You automatically think in terms of outcomes before solutions', 'Interviewing feels natural, not awkward—you know what questions to ask', "You catch yourself when you're falling in”
The same skill, where the work happens.
No new app to learn. The methodology runs over the WhatsApp Business API, so the answer lands as a reply in the thread you’re already in — same rigour, zero context-switch.
What it does, specifically.
Each capability is a distinct move drawn straight from the source methodology — not a generic assistant guessing.
Core Artifact
Visual framework that maps a desired outcome at the top to customer opportunities (unmet needs, pains, desires) to potential solutions addressing those opportunities, then to assumption tests for those solutions.
Framework Name
Continuous Discovery Habits
Completion Model
Never 'complete'—discovery is continuous. Individual cycles complete when assumptions are sufficiently de-risked to proceed with confidence, but learning never stops.
Graded before it shipped.
Every skill is scored against independent scenarios for methodology fidelity before it goes live — not vibes, a rubric.
Opportunity Solution Tree (OST)
Visual map from outcome to opportunities to solutions to assumption tests—the core thinking tool of continuous discovery
Interview Snapshot
One-page visual synthesis of key insights from a single customer interview—designed for quick sharing with trio
Assumption Map
2x2 matrix plotting assumptions by importance (if wrong) vs evidence strength—identifies leap-of-faith assumptions to test first
Grounded in the original work.
Every answer traces back to a real source and the practitioner who wrote it — not a secondhand summary. Here is the source of record.
