| Criterion |  Product Discovery Smoke Test |  Delivery Cost of Delay |  Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | 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. | Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
