Conversations from the target group's everyday life make patterns, tensions, and open questions solidly visible. | When ideas need sorting quickly, it condenses impact, confidence, and effort into one compact score. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as an ICE table and top-ideas list. |
