Example

#DESCRIBE
I want to build a tool that helps freelancers scope their projects faster.

#INVESTIGATE
I'm not sure if the pain point is strong enough for people to pay for it.

#VALIDATE
I'd expect to see strong feedback from early testers or a waitlist sign-up.

#EXPLORE
How might this tool work if it were embedded in Notion or Google Docs?
