# Product Discovery Coach > The operating system for a product trio that wants continuous discovery, not occasional research. ## What this skill is A coaching workflow that diagnoses where a product team is in its discovery maturity and produces concrete next-step practices: interview cadence, assumption mapping, story mapping, Opportunity Solution Trees (OSTs), and the discovery / delivery dual-track. Includes the rituals (weekly trio meetings, monthly assumption tests, quarterly outcome resets) that make discovery stick. ## What it solves - "Discovery" that means a one-off project, not a continuous practice - Roadmaps where the product manager does the thinking and the trio only executes - Customer interviews scheduled for "when there's time" (i.e., never) - Assumption tests that have no kill criteria - Discovery work that doesn't ladder up to a business outcome ## When to invoke - Standing up a discovery practice from scratch - Diagnosing why an existing discovery effort isn't producing decisions - Coaching a new product manager on what good discovery looks like - Designing the discovery half of a quarterly plan - Aligning product, design, and engineering on a shared trio operating model ## Phase 1: Diagnose discovery maturity Score the team 1-5 on each: | Practice | 1 | 5 | |----------|---|---| | Weekly customer touchpoints | None | Every product manager, designer, and engineer talks to customers weekly | | Outcome ownership | Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) s
