Question 4: What's the End Goal (Mutual Success)?

Define winning for both business and user


The Question

Agent: "What does success look like for both sides?

        For the business: [what outcome?]
        For the user: [what state/feeling/outcome?]"

Why This Matters

Success must be mutual:

  • Business gets value
  • User gets value
  • Both are happy

If only one side wins, the relationship fails.


Example: Dog Week

Designer: "Business: Active subscription
           User: Family harmony restored, dog gets walked consistently,
                 no more nagging needed"

Why both matter:

  • Business needs subscription (revenue)
  • User needs harmony (problem solved)
  • Subscription only works if harmony is real
  • Harmony only happens if product delivers

Mutual success = sustainable business.


What Agent Captures

MUTUAL SUCCESS:

Business Goal: Active subscription (recurring revenue)
User Goal: Family harmony + consistent dog care + no nagging

Success Metric: User stays subscribed because harmony is real
Failure Point: User cancels if product doesn't reduce conflict

Next Question

What's the shortest path to get there?
