Session: Fake Door Test

The plan distributes preparation, review, and outcome work across an asynchronous work run. Your inputs flow directly into the session brief and work artifact.

Derived automatically

Async work run with Nutzertraffic. The plan uses the existing method logic and the runsheet.

Runsheet
Participation logic
Team round, shared work and alignment

Use the session for shared understanding. Contributions are collected visibly, assumptions are aligned, and open differences remain traceable in the artifact.

Outcome logic
Finish artifact

The session works directly toward Click Data. After the session, the artifact should be shareable, reviewable, or reusable.

  1. 1

    Prepare brief

    15-30 min

    Prepare the working question, input, target artifact, and review deadline for Fake Door Test. Link relevant data, sources, and existing artifacts.

    OwnerSession brief
  2. 2

    Work asynchronously

    24 to 72 h

    Participants work through the method along the template. Focus: add contributions directly to the artifact, mark assumptions, and link evidence.

    20-30 min

    Cluster comments, contradictions, and open questions. Sort unclear points into decisions, risks, or follow-ups.

Session Brief: Fake Door Test

Goal

Artifact: Click Data

Working Question

Does the measured demand at the fake-door entry clearly confirm the demand hypothesis above the predefined success threshold?

Context

Demand hypothesis as one sentence; target signal (for example, at least 5% click-through at 10,000 impressions); legal and ethical review (GDPR, consumer protection); plan for informing people who clicked.

Setup

  • Format: Async work run
  • Duration: 24 to 72 h
  • Mode: asynchronous
  • Participants: A Product Manager who sets the hypothesis and threshold; an engineer for tracking and explanatory page; an analyst for interpretation; a customer support owner for incoming questions.
  • Owner: A Product Manager who sets the hypothesis and threshold
  • Participation mode: Team round, shared work and alignment
  • Outcome logic: Finish artifact

Participation Logic

Use the session for shared understanding. Contributions are collected visibly, assumptions are aligned, and open differences remain traceable in the artifact.

Outcome Logic

The session works directly toward Click Data. After the session, the artifact should be shareable, reviewable, or reusable.

Input

Visible entry point (menu item, button, card) in an existing product or marketing surface; tracking setup (analytics event); explanatory page or modal after click; definition of success.

Preparation

Place the entry point in the live product. Click leads to a transparent explanatory page ("This feature is still being developed, we are collecting interest"). Implement and test tracking events.

Agenda

  1. Prepare brief (15-30 min) Owner: Owner Action: Prepare the working question, input, target artifact, and review deadline for Fake Door Test. Link relevant data, sources, and existing artifacts. Output: Session brief

  2. Work asynchronously (24 to 72 h) Owner: Participants Action: Participants work through the method along the template. Focus: add contributions directly to the artifact, mark assumptions, and link evidence. Output: Click Data

  3. Consolidate review (20-30 min) Owner: Facilitator Action: Cluster comments, contradictions, and open questions. Sort unclear points into decisions, risks, or follow-ups. Output: Review notes

  4. Finalize artifact (15-30 min) Owner: Owner Action: Create the integrated version, set status, and schedule the next review or decision point. Output: Interest Signal

  5. Publish artifact (10 min) Owner: Owner Action: Check the artifact for completeness, define location, set version or status, and name review recipients. Output: Click Data

Closeout

  • Update result artifact: Click Data
  • Define location, version, and review recipients.
  • Define owner, next step, and review date.
