A PRD that doesn’t have a falsifiable hypothesis isn’t a PRD — it’s a feature request with extra steps. This template forces every initiative to commit, in writing, to: what we believe, what we’ll measure, how long we’ll wait, and what we’ll do if we’re wrong.
The template is paired with a 60-minute training session for existing PMs so it actually gets used the same way across the org.
What decision this drives
Whether an initiative is worth doing, and — once shipped — whether it worked. Most “shipped, success” claims fall apart under scrutiny because nobody wrote down the success criteria upfront. This template removes that wiggle room.
What it looks like

What you get
- PRD template with hypothesis, success metrics linked to the tree, tracking requirements, A/B test plan
- Worked example using one of your in-flight initiatives
- 60-minute training session for existing PMs
- Calibration document for “good enough to start build”
Real result
At a bootstrapped scale-up, this template removed weeks of stakeholder back-and-forth per initiative and became the standard template across the product org.
Price
€4,000 fixed, 3 weeks (includes the training session).
