  • "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical product rather that one already built. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"

If this is not resolved - what could be the consequences for our users & the business. Given this broad idea, I just simply evaluate them on value vs effort scale.
