PO Toolkit · Tool #12 of 12

Based on the RAT methodology — Riskiest Assumption Test

De-risk your feature
before building it

Describe your feature hypothesis. Get the 4 riskiest assumptions ranked by impact, a minimum experiment for each, and a clear kill criteria — in seconds.

How it works

From hypothesis to validated experiments in minutes

01

Define your feature hypothesis

Write what you believe, for whom, and what outcome you expect. The more specific, the sharper the assumptions.

02

Get 4 ranked assumptions

GPT-OSS 120B identifies the 4 assumptions that must be true for your feature to succeed, ranked from most critical to least.

03

Run the riskiest experiment first

Each assumption gets a minimum experiment, a success criteria, and a time estimate. The tool tells you where to start.

Roadmap

What's coming next

PlannedConsidering

Canvas management

Save canvases

Planned

Save multiple validation canvases locally and access them across sessions without losing context.

Canvas comparison

Considering

Compare two features side by side to decide which one to validate first based on risk and effort.

Status tracking

Planned

Mark each assumption as "validating", "validated", or "invalidated" and track progress over time.

Experiments

Interview script generator

Planned

For assumptions validated via user interviews, generate a ready-to-use discussion guide.

Survey builder

Planned

For survey-based validation, generate the exact questions and answer scales.

Results logger

Considering

Record experiment outcomes directly in the canvas and get an updated risk assessment.

Integration

Link to Hypothesis Validator

Planned

If the experiment requires an A/B test, link directly to the Hypothesis Validator tool with context pre-filled.

Notion export

Considering

Push the full canvas to a Notion page with one click, formatted as a proper product doc.

PRD link

Planned

Once validated, generate a PRD draft pre-filled with the validated hypothesis and metrics.

Why I built this

Problem

Most features get built on untested assumptions. Teams spend 6 weeks engineering something only to discover in launch that the core premise was wrong.

Solution

A RAT generator that surfaces the riskiest assumptions, pairs each with the minimum experiment to test it, and gives you a clear kill criteria before you write a line of code.

Impact

Teams that validate before building ship fewer wrong features — and the ones they do ship have a much higher success rate because the bets are already de-risked.

Next step in the PO Toolkit

Once you identify an assumption to validate with an A/B test, use the Hypothesis Validator to check if the results are statistically significant.
