Agents propose product work from evidence
A product layer investigates the outcome and commissions only the work justified by evidence and human-approved limits.
Depends on: P2-M1, E3-M2
Epic P3
Autonomous product discovery
Agents investigate the problem space and propose authorised work from evidence rather than receiving a feature backlog.
Purpose
The product layer can find problems, form hypotheses and request engineering only after evidence and constraints are clear.
Current status
Research. The concept is defined, but no completed discovery loop has been verified.
Milestones
Evidence
Existing narrative and capability roadmap Google Doc
Read through an authorised Google Drive connector and restructured into site pages rather than copied wholesale. The source document link is not published.
Risks and open questions
Risks
- Agents may overfit to what is easy to measure.
- Discovery can become performative research without a decision.
Open questions
- Which artefacts prove a product decision was evidence-led?
- How should negative results be preserved?
Linked Wardley components
- Autonomous product discovery
Next steps
- Run one bounded decision loop after the baseline is approved.
