| Criterion | ![]() Innovation Design Thinking | ![]() Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For complex user problems with an uncertain cause, the method connects observation, interpretation, and experiment into a learning cycle. It keeps the focus on real needs and avoids premature solution language. This produces robust decisions for product and service. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
