Sprint 3 Plan
Sprint 3 focuses on implementing the key decisions from user testing and Workshop 3, with final delivery on January 31st.
Key Decisions Made
1. Entry Point — Report First
Show a completed report first, then users create their own. This addresses the context problem — 3/5 users who had context understood the value immediately.
2. Setup Architecture — Flexible but Structured (Option C)
Flow: Presets → Review → Optional Chat → Start Research
- Technical requirement from Bartosz: Chat step needed before processing for clarifying questions
- Simplify the workflow graph to 5 fixed columns
- Make things disabled by default until a preset is selected
3. Report View — Categories with Points
- Executive Brief as entry, but with category headers
- Show depth exists ("37 risks, showing top 3")
- Headers labeling each section (risk, opportunity, etc.)
4. New Features Required
- Dashboard view (entry point for returning users)
- Enterprise user flow
- Custom request form ("Request dedicated implementation")
- User settings page template
5. Platform Positioning — Broader Than VC
- Onboarding: Add asset class selection
- Adjust predefined questions (Daniel/Kamil to provide content)
- "Asset de-risking" positioning instead of just "VC diligence"

- Linear setup flow (presets → review → chat → start)
- Categories with depth indicators in report view
- Dashboard navigation
Build Priorities
Priority 1: Report-First Entry

- Clear CTA to create own project after viewing
- Address the "context problem" identified in testing
Priority 2: Simplified Setup Flow
- Preset selection as starting point
- Review screen for selected options
- Optional chat for clarifying questions
- Reduced complexity in workflow visualization
Priority 3: Enhanced Report View
- Category headers (Risk, Opportunity, etc.)
- Depth indicators showing total items
- Executive Brief as entry point
- Improved navigation between sections
Priority 4: Platform Features
- Dashboard for returning users
- Enterprise user flow
- Custom request form
- User settings template
