|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | 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. | 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. |
