Recommend prototype type: Feasibility, Task-Focused, Narrative, Synthetic

Description
pol-probe-advisor is an interactive skill that helps you pick the right Proof of Life probe for a hypothesis. The skill describes five probe types, and its listing names four of them: feasibility, task-focused, narrative and synthetic. It chooses among them based on the hypothesis, the risk you are trying to remove and the resources you have. The point is to match the cheapest useful validation method to the real learning goal, rather than to whichever prototype the team is most comfortable building. This prevents overbuilding before the team has learned the hard truth. Typical questions include which probe to use to test demand for an idea, which validation method fits an onboarding hypothesis, and what to run first for a risky AI concept. You give the hypothesis or risk as the argument. The estimated time is 15 to 20 minutes, and the skill sits in the validation and experiments theme of the product-manager-skills repository on GitHub.…
