“[Our service/product] was designed to achieve [these goals].
We have observed that the product/service isn’t meeting [these goals], which is causing
[this adverse effect] to our business.
How might we improve [service/product] so that our customers are more successful based
on [these measurable criteria]?

3. Form a hypothesis
If ________________, then _____________.
We believe that [doing this/building this feature/creating this experience] for [these
people] will achieve [this outcome].
We will know this is true when we see [this market feedback, quantitative measure, or
qualitative insight].
