Assumption map
For a product owner whose plan rests on beliefs nobody has tested: each belief is written down, set against the evidence you hold, ranked by what it would do to the plan, and given a cheap test to choose from. You decide what to test; no evidence is invented.

Channel partner fit review
When a referral, reseller or alliance partner approaches, the founder or head of partnerships gets one review: evidence the partner brings customers of its own, the type that evidence supports, a ninety-day plan with signs to go on or stop, and the commission range that still beats selling direct. A person decides.

Invention disclosure brief for patent counsel
