Start with the decision you're trying to make. These guides connect product discovery, validation and behavioral design with Learning Loop's public workshop exercises. You don't need a card deck to use them.
Discovery identifies which customer opportunity matters. Validation evaluates a proposed solution by testing its riskiest assumption. Keep learning as evidence changes.

These printable worksheets support the guides. Their ruled areas remain visible when printing without background graphics.
Collect customer assumptions, map opportunities, select a problem to investigate and agree on your next research step.
Capture your riskiest assumption, hypothesis, experiment design, evidence criteria and the decision you'll make next.
For an additional experiment planning resource, see the Experiment Sheet resource page. The downloadable Experiment Sheet is available through its registration form.
Find full facilitation instructions in Workshop Patterns, product experiment methods in Validation Patterns, and behavioral design principles in Persuasive Patterns.
Every guide is designed to stand on its own. Card decks are optional tools when your team wants to make the methods and exercises part of regular practice.
