| Criterion |  Product Discovery Assumption Mapping |  Growth Flywheel |  Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first. | Growth often breaks down where a reinforcing mechanism builds up too much friction. A Flywheel shows the cycle of value, repetition, and reinforcement meant to sustain growth. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
