How habits are formed
The importance of consistency
Not all assumptions need to be tested. To identify what is more critical at this moment, we can prioritise them on a quadrant, in which horizontally we have scale of evidence (how much evidence we have for it to be true) and vertically importance of the assumption (how critical it is to happen so that the idea is possible).
We then place each assumptions on the quadrant relative to each other. This is not a precise exercise, but rather one that helps us select what we know now. We then start with few of them from top-right corner (most important with the weakest evidence).

Imagine the problems users have as trees.
The root of a tree is a big problem, that causes multiple other problems/branches to arise. Every branch needs to be different from the others, otherwise, it needs to be rethought.
To decide whether an opportunity belongs to a tree, we need ...

For each step we start wri...
