| Criterion |  Product Discovery Opportunity Interview |  Product Discovery Jobs to Be Done |  Product Discovery Test Card |  Product Discovery Opportunity Solution Tree |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When opportunities are still hidden behind signals of need, it structures conversations around needs and obstacles. It looks for patterns that lead to new product opportunities. | When switching motives and progress are unclear, it reconstructs the situation from real customer circumstances. It shows why a switch happens and what kind of progress is being sought. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. | When discovery keeps swinging between goals, ideas, and learning loops, it creates clear steering logic. It connects the desired outcome, opportunities, and experiments into a legible structure. |
