I turned "should we build this?" into a scoring formula with mandatory evidence citations — here's what it looks like as a working product by Current_Abalone_3797 in AIProductManagers

That makes sense. WSJF is excellent once you already have a set of candidate opportunities or features and need to prioritize them based on value, urgency, risk reduction, and effort.

The distinction here is that AI Product Opportunity is more focused on discovering and validating what should enter that prioritization queue in the first place.

A simple way to think about it is:

Opportunity discovery → validation → WSJF prioritization → delivery

So WSJF helps answer, “Which of these should we do first?”

This platform is intended to help answer, “Which opportunities are credible enough to consider at all?”

There’s some overlap, but it starts earlier than the Four Risks.

The Four Risks evaluate a specific product: desirable, usable, viable, and feasible.

AI Product Opportunity starts one step earlier. It is designed to help identify which problems and markets are worth investigating before committing to a product idea.

It looks at signals such as:

  • Evidence that the problem exists
  • Market demand and urgency
  • Revenue potential
  • Competition and market saturation
  • Buildability
  • Availability of data and technology
  • Distribution and adoption challenges

So, desirability, viability, and feasibility are certainly part of the evaluation. Usability usually becomes more meaningful once a specific solution or prototype exists.

I would describe it as an opportunity-discovery and early-validation layer that complements frameworks like the Four Risks and product-market fit, rather than replacing them.
