TL;DR (EN)

Teresa Torres weekly continuous-discovery cadence + opportunity solution tree. Refactors existing one-shot interview plan into ongoing program (weekly cadence, assumption tests, prototype plans). Wave 4 parallel with #9. ADHD-aware pacing (operator's mental model).

Scope

Torres weekly cadence:

1-3 discovery interviews per week (sustainable for solo)
Weekly opportunity-solution-tree review
Monthly assumption-test cycle (build → measure → learn)
Quarterly Cagan-strategy refresh (M3 milestone)

Opportunity Solution Tree (Torres canonical):

Top: Desired outcome (from #7 KPI Tree north-star)
Layer 2: Opportunities (problems / unmet needs → JTBD jobs from #3)
Layer 3: Solutions (Patchwarden capabilities, prototype ideas)
Layer 4: Assumption tests (smallest experiment to falsify assumption)

Interview cadence:

Refactor docs/discovery-interview-plan.md from "do 5-7 interviews once" to "do 5-7 interviews PER QUARTER ongoing"
ICP filter from #3 JTBD
Recruitment channels (r/selfhosted, selfh.st, Mastodon, operator network)
Interview script template (already in repo, deepen for ongoing use)

Assumption testing protocol:

Identify riskiest assumption per opportunity
Smallest viable test (interview question / prototype / fake door)
Decision criteria BEFORE test (pre-register hypothesis)

ADHD-aware operator pacing:

30-min sessions max (not 90-min "deep work blocks")
Async-first (operators on Mastodon / r/selfhosted, time-zone diverse)
Forgejo issue as artifact (NOT separate Notion / Airtable)
Operator can pause cadence without losing system (no "streak" pressure)

What this artifact does NOT cover:

Specific interview content (that's done IN interviews, not planned upfront)
Recruitment outreach copy (that's #4 Positioning narrative arc)
Cloud beta opt-in funnel (that's Q1 2027 work)

Inputs (feedstock)

docs/discovery-interview-plan.md — existing one-shot plan to refactor
#3 JTBD output — ICP filter
#6 Four-Risks output — value risk evidence-to-gather
Teresa Torres Continuous Discovery Habits
Operator's vault 00 Inbox/2026-05-04 — Self-healing OpenClaw — operator's brief style (Cagan-pattern repair loop)

Skill draft

Anthropic Skill: design:user-research
Anti-prompt: "NOT a one-shot research plan. NOT 'we'll interview 10 users'. This is Torres continuous-discovery: weekly cadence, ongoing program, ADHD-aware operator. Pretend we'll never finish — design for sustainable rhythm."
Prime with: Torres Continuous Discovery Habits + operator's ADHD-aware OpenClaw brief

Dependencies

Blocked by: #3 JTBD (ICP filter), #6 Four-Risks (which assumptions to test)
Blocks: M2 milestone (Discovery Validation)

Cagan-grade acceptance criteria

Universal (must pass all 5):

Evidence cited — cadence rationale links to Torres methodology + operator's ADHD context
Operator-readable <10 min — opportunity-solution-tree diagram + cadence ≤2000w
Names the wrongness condition — "this cadence is wrong if operator skips 3+ weeks in a row OR if 5 interviews surface zero new opportunities"
Single concrete decision — moves docs/decisions.md by adding D14: "discovery cadence = OD8 value; M2 gate = 5+ interviews completed"
Cousin-family attribution — credits skill, JTBD output, Four-Risks output, Torres framework

Tier-1 core extras:

One numerical anchor — interview-per-month target, opportunity-tree depth, assumption-test cycle time
Visible asymmetry — names what this discovery program does that incumbent products' research programs (CodeRabbit user research, Cursor telemetry) structurally CANNOT capture (self-hoster sovereignty preferences, non-dev framing language)

Operator decision points

This artifact gates on:

OD8 — Discovery cadence (weekly canonical / monthly batch / opportunistic ADHD-aware)

Status flow

status:cagan-grade-review-pending → operator merges → close → tick epic Wave 4 #8 → enables M2 milestone tracking

Closed via operator voice ack 2026-05-26.

Operator highlights:

Cadence opportunistic (option C) — ack
M2 gate priorytet: install count BEFORE interview pressure — "najpierw musi być ściągnięcia na githubie, jak będą ściągnięcia będzie fajnie"
OD8 framing: "wykorzystywać i maksymalizować subskrypcje które mają użytkownicy"
ADHD-aware hard rules UPDATE: NIE 30-min desktop sessions max → mobile-first workflow
- codex mobile + remote cloud sessions + push notifications + click-2-merge
- operator dream: "kodować cały dzień, puścić na sracz, kliknąć dwa merge'y, odblokowuje się cały pipeline"
- PR comments wyjaśniają jasno prostym językiem dlaczego ważne

Modifications queued in claude/patchwarden-tactical-updates PR:

Mobile-first hard rule (replaces 30-min desktop session max)
M2 gate criteria: install count gate BEFORE interview throughput
Mobile-merge + push-notify workflow w sekcji ADHD-aware pacing
