The result is captured as a PERT Estimate, Expected Value, and Risk Notes. | Helps clarify observations, needs, and patterns in concrete terms. It groups observations into patterns, questions, and decisions. The result is captured as a HEART-GSM table and dashboard. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort.
