| Criterion |  Operations Failure Mode and Effects Analysis |  Product Discovery Smoke Test |
|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a process, product, or service with noticeable failure risks, the method assesses possible failure modes in advance. It directs attention to combinations of occurrence, effect, and detectability. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
