Product Taste & Intuition

产品品味与直觉

Scope

适用范围

Covers
  • Developing product taste (what “good” looks like) through deliberate exposure, observation, and critique
  • Using intuition as a hypothesis generator (turning “gut feel” into testable hypotheses)
  • Building a repeatable practice loop (exposure hours → analysis → validation → updated taste rules)
When to use
  • “Help me improve my product taste / product sense.”
  • “Calibrate what ‘good onboarding’ looks like for our product category.”
  • “Turn my intuition about this flow into testable hypotheses.”
  • “Create a structured way to study great products and extract patterns.”
When NOT to use
  • You need to decide what to build (use
    problem-definition
    ,
    prioritizing-roadmap
    , or
    defining-product-vision
    ).
  • You need user evidence first (use
    conducting-user-interviews
    or
    usability-testing
    ).
  • You want aesthetic critique only (this is product experience: value, UX, clarity, trust, speed—not just visuals).
  • You can’t name any target user, use case, or the “taste domain” you want to improve (we’ll narrow first).
涵盖内容
  • 通过有意识地接触、观察和评审,培养产品品味(理解“优秀产品”的标准)
  • 将直觉作为假设生成工具(把“直觉感受”转化为可验证的假设)
  • 构建可重复的实践循环(接触积累→分析总结→验证迭代→更新品味准则)
适用场景
  • “我想提升自己的产品品味/产品感。”
  • “为我们的产品品类校准「优秀的用户引导」标准。”
  • “把我对这个流程的直觉转化为可验证的假设。”
  • “构建一套结构化的方法来研究优秀产品并提炼规律。”
不适用场景
  • 你需要决定要做什么产品功能(此时应使用
    problem-definition
    「问题定义」、
    prioritizing-roadmap
    「路线图优先级排序」或
    defining-product-vision
    「产品愿景定义」工具)。
  • 你首先需要用户调研数据(此时应使用
    conducting-user-interviews
    「用户访谈」或
    usability-testing
    「可用性测试」工具)。
  • 你仅需要美学层面的评审(本工具聚焦产品体验:价值传递、UX设计、清晰度、信任感、响应速度——而非仅视觉层面)。
  • 你无法明确目标用户、使用场景或想要提升的「品味领域」(我们会先帮你缩小范围)。

Workflow (8 steps)

工作流程(8步)

1) Intake + pick the taste domain (narrow the problem)

1) 信息收集 + 确定品味领域(缩小问题范围)

  • Inputs: User context; references/INTAKE.md.
  • Actions: Choose 1 taste domain and 1 “moment” (e.g., first-run onboarding). Define target user + job + constraints. Set time box.
  • Outputs: Taste Calibration Brief (draft).
  • Checks: A stakeholder can answer: “What specific experience are we calibrating taste for?”
  • 输入: 用户背景;references/INTAKE.md
  • 行动: 选择1个品味领域和1个关键场景(例如:首次启动引导)。明确目标用户、核心任务与约束条件。设定时间限制。
  • 输出: 品味校准简报(草稿)
  • 校验标准: 相关负责人能够明确回答:“我们正在为哪项具体体验校准品味?”

2) Define “good taste” as decision criteria (not vibes)

2) 将“优秀品味”定义为可落地的决策标准(而非主观感觉)

  • Inputs: Domain + user/job.
  • Actions: Draft 6–10 criteria (e.g., clarity, time-to-value, trust, agency, error recovery, perceived speed, cognitive load). Add explicit tradeoffs (what you’ll sacrifice).
  • Outputs: Criteria list + tradeoffs section in the brief.
  • Checks: Criteria are observable in-product (you can point to UI/behavior), not generic adjectives.
  • 输入: 领域 + 用户/核心任务
  • 行动: 起草6-10条评判标准(例如:清晰度、价值传递时长、信任感、用户自主性、错误恢复机制、感知速度、认知负荷)。明确需要做出的权衡(哪些因素可以让步)。
  • 输出: 评判标准列表 + 简报中的权衡说明部分
  • 校验标准: 每条标准都能在产品中找到对应可观察的UI/行为,而非空泛的形容词。

3) Build the benchmark set (exposure hours, curated)

3) 构建基准产品集(刻意接触,精心筛选)

  • Inputs: Known benchmarks (or none).
  • Actions: Select 5–10 exemplars (direct, adjacent, and at least 1 “gold standard”). For each: what you’re studying and why it’s relevant.
  • Outputs: Benchmark Set table.
  • Checks: Set includes at least 2 “outside the category” references to avoid local maxima.
  • 输入: 已知的基准产品(或无)
  • 行动: 筛选5-10个范例(包含直接竞品、相邻领域产品,且至少1个“黄金标准”产品)。为每个产品说明研究方向与相关性理由。
  • 输出: 基准产品集表格
  • 校验标准: 产品集中至少包含2个跨品类参考产品,以避免陷入局部最优。

4) Study like a voracious user (structured observation)

4) 以深度用户视角研究(结构化观察)

  • Inputs: Benchmarks; critique template.
  • Actions: Use each product as the target user. Capture micro-moments: friction, delight, confusion, trust breaks. Record “what happened” before “why it’s good/bad”.
  • Outputs: Product Study Notes (draft).
  • Checks: Each benchmark note includes at least 3 concrete moments with screenshots/quotes if available (or precise descriptions).
  • 输入: 基准产品;评审模板
  • 行动: 以目标用户身份使用每个产品。捕捉关键微时刻:摩擦点、愉悦点、困惑点、信任破裂点。先记录“发生了什么”,再分析“为什么好/不好”。
  • 输出: 产品研究笔记(草稿)
  • 校验标准: 每个基准产品的笔记中至少包含3个具体场景,如有条件需附截图/引用(或精准描述)。

5) Synthesize: turn observations into taste rules + anti-patterns

5) 总结提炼:将观察转化为品味准则与反模式

  • Inputs: Study notes across benchmarks.
  • Actions: Cluster patterns. Convert into rules: DO/DO NOT, plus rationale and where it applies. Add anti-patterns that create “AI slop” (generic, incoherent, misaligned experiences).
  • Outputs: Taste Rules + Anti-Patterns.
  • Checks: Each rule is backed by ≥ 2 observations from different benchmarks (or explicitly marked “hypothesis”).
  • 输入: 各基准产品的研究笔记
  • 行动: 归纳聚类规律。转化为应做/不应做准则,并附理由与适用场景。补充会导致“AI式劣质体验”(通用化、不连贯、与目标不符的体验)的反模式。
  • 输出: 品味准则与反模式
  • 校验标准: 每条准则都有来自至少2个不同基准产品的观察作为支撑(或明确标记为“假设”)。

6) Intuition as hypothesis generator (make it testable)

6) 将直觉转化为可验证的假设

  • Inputs: Rules + your gut reactions.
  • Actions: Write intuition statements (“It feels off because…”) and convert into testable hypotheses with predicted signals and counter-signals.
  • Outputs: Intuition → Hypothesis Log.
  • Checks: Each hypothesis has a clear falsification condition (“If X doesn’t change after Y, we were wrong.”).
  • 输入: 品味准则 + 你的直觉反应
  • 行动: 写下直觉表述(“感觉不对,因为……”),并转化为可验证的假设,同时明确预期信号与反向信号。
  • 输出: 直觉→假设日志
  • 校验标准: 每个假设都有明确的证伪条件(例如:“如果执行Y后X没有变化,说明我们的假设错误”)。

7) Validate with smallest viable checks (qual + quant)

7) 用最小可行验证方式检验(定性+定量)

  • Inputs: Hypothesis log; available data/research access.
  • Actions: Choose the lightest validation per hypothesis: usability task, intercept prompt, session replay review, funnel slice, A/B smoke test, copy test, etc. Define success metrics and sample.
  • Outputs: Validation Plan with owners/cadence if known.
  • Checks: Validation steps are feasible within the stated time box and don’t require sensitive data.
  • 输入: 假设日志;可获取的数据/研究资源
  • 行动: 为每个假设选择最轻量化的验证方式:可用性任务、拦截式调研、会话重放分析、漏斗切片分析、A/B冒烟测试、文案测试等。明确成功指标与样本量。
  • 输出: 验证计划,若已知则包含负责人与节奏安排
  • 校验标准: 验证步骤在设定的时间限制内可行,且无需敏感数据。

8) Create a practice loop + quality gate + finalize

8) 构建实践循环 + 质量校验 + 最终定稿

  • Inputs: Draft pack.
  • Actions: Build a 2–4 week practice plan (exposure hours schedule + weekly synthesis). Run references/CHECKLISTS.md and score with references/RUBRIC.md. Add Risks/Open questions/Next steps.
  • Outputs: Final Taste Calibration Pack.
  • Checks: A reader can follow the practice plan without additional context; assumptions are explicit.
  • 输入: 校准包草稿
  • 行动: 构建2-4周的实践计划(接触积累时长安排 + 每周总结节奏)。使用references/CHECKLISTS.md进行检查,并通过references/RUBRIC.md进行评分。补充风险/待解决问题/下一步行动。
  • 输出: 最终版品味校准包
  • 校验标准: 读者无需额外背景信息即可遵循实践计划;所有假设均明确说明。

Quality gate (required)

质量校验(必做)

  • Use references/CHECKLISTS.md and references/RUBRIC.md.
  • Always include: Risks, Open questions, Next steps.
  • 使用references/CHECKLISTS.mdreferences/RUBRIC.md进行校验。
  • 必须包含:风险待解决问题下一步行动

Examples

示例

Example 1 (Onboarding): “Calibrate our onboarding taste vs best-in-class. Target users are first-time PMs. Time box: 90 minutes. Output a Taste Calibration Pack.”
Expected: benchmark set, critique notes, taste rules, hypotheses, and a lightweight validation plan.
Example 2 (B2B workflow UX): “My gut says our ‘create project’ flow feels slow and confusing. Turn that into testable hypotheses and a validation plan.”
Expected: intuition→hypothesis log with falsification conditions and smallest viable checks.
Boundary example: “Tell me what good taste is in general.”
Response: require a specific domain + target user/job; otherwise produce a menu of domain options and propose a narrow starting point.
示例1(用户引导): “对标行业最佳实践,校准我们的用户引导品味。目标用户是首次担任PM的人群。时间限制:90分钟。输出一份品味校准包。”
预期输出:基准产品集、评审笔记、品味准则、假设、轻量化验证计划。
示例2(B2B工作流UX): “我的直觉告诉我,我们的「创建项目」流程既慢又让人困惑。把这个直觉转化为可验证的假设和验证计划。”
预期输出:包含证伪条件和最小可行验证方式的直觉→假设日志。
边界示例: “告诉我什么是通用的优秀产品品味。”
回应:要求用户提供具体领域 + 目标用户/核心任务;否则提供领域选项菜单,并建议一个窄范围的起始点。
