tool-foundation-sprint-differentiation
From the author
Day 1 afternoon move of a Foundation Sprint. Converts the morning's Basics frame into a defensible strategic position by scoring differentiator candidates against customer-perceived value, choosing two committed differentiators, plotting alternatives on a 2x2 chart, writing decision principles, and producing a one-page Mini Manifesto. Use after Basics is signed; before Approach Options the next morning.

- tool-foundation-sprint-basicsproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsDay 1 morning move of a Foundation Sprint. Forces explicit team choices on target customer, important problem, team advantage, and competitors and alternatives. Produces a single coherent strategic frame that becomes the input to Day 1 afternoon Differentiation. Use after the sprint brief is signed and Day 1 morning is scheduled. Bundled artifact, not four separate decisions.Other★ 774
- tool-foundation-sprint-approach-optionsproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsDay 2 morning move of a Foundation Sprint. Forces generation of 3 to 7 candidate approaches as one-page summaries before the team converges on a top bet. Use after Day 1 is signed and before Magic Lenses on Day 2 afternoon. Enforces a minimum of 3 approaches to prevent first-idea anchoring. Each approach summary names what it is, why it serves the differentiators, and includes a simple visual.Productivity★ 774
- tool-foundation-sprint-magic-lensesproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsDay 2 afternoon move of a Foundation Sprint. Evaluates the candidate approach set through multiple lenses (4 classic plus at least 1 custom) to surface trade-offs, identify consistent winners and contradictions, and produce a top bet plus a backup plan. Use after Approach Options is signed. Lens scoring is a sense-making tool, not mathematical truth; arbitrary precision is a smell.Planning★ 774
- tool-foundation-sprint-briefproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsPre-sprint brief that locks scope, the decision the sprint must unlock, team and role assignments, logistics, inputs to bring, and success criteria before Day 1 of a Foundation Sprint. Use after the readiness verdict is Go and before the sprint begins. Produces a one-page artifact the team and Decider sign off on as the contract for the next two days.Legal★ 774
- tool-foundation-sprint-founding-hypothesisproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsDay 2 end capstone move of a Foundation Sprint. Compresses the sprint's full strategic frame into a single canonical sentence (the Founding Hypothesis) plus an assumption scorecard, why-we-believe, what-could-prove-us-wrong, and recommended next validation step. Use after Magic Lenses is signed. Strict canonical template; paraphrase is not accepted in v0.1.0. The Founding Hypothesis is the spine artifact the sprint exists to produce.Other★ 774
- tool-foundation-sprint-readinessproduct-on-purpose/pm-skillsPre-sprint diagnostic that determines whether a team should run a Foundation Sprint now, postpone it, or do prerequisite work first. Produces a Go / Conditional Go / Wait verdict with diagnosis, recommended preconditions, attendee list, and pre-sprint activities. Use when a team is considering starting a Foundation Sprint and wants a fast yes/no diagnosis before committing two days of facilitated work.Other★ 774
