lp-do-assessment-01-problem-statement — Problem Framing (ASSESSMENT-01)

Produces a clear, falsifiable problem statement before the operator enters S0 (Intake). Run this when starting from a customer problem rather than a committed product hypothesis.

Load: ../_shared/assessment/assessment-base-contract.md

Invocation

/lp-do-assessment-01-problem-statement --business <BIZ>

Required:

--business <BIZ> — 3-4 character business identifier (e.g., PET, HEAD, BRIK)

Business resolution pre-flight: If --business is absent or the directory docs/business-os/strategy/<BIZ>/ does not exist, apply _shared/business-resolution.md before any other step.

Operating Mode

READ-THEN-WRITE

This skill:

Reads existing business docs and operator-provided problem descriptions
Produces one structured problem statement artifact
Does NOT recommend solutions, select product types, or score demand
Does NOT ask whether to proceed — operator decides after reviewing the artifact

Inputs

Required:

--business <BIZ> — business identifier

Optional (read if present):

Inline problem description provided by the operator at invocation
Any file path provided by the operator

Search paths (scan in order, use what exists):

docs/business-os/strategy/<BIZ>/ — strategy docs, briefs, notes
docs/business-os/startup-baselines/<BIZ>/* — baseline docs

If no files exist, work from operator-provided description only. Do not block on missing files.

Steps

Load: modules/steps.md

Output Contract

Load: modules/output-template.md

Quality Gate

Load: modules/quality-gate.md

Integration

Upstream (S0): /startup-loop start --start-point problem triggers this skill before S0 intake begins.

Downstream: /lp-do-assessment-02-solution-profiling --business <BIZ> reads docs/business-os/strategy/<BIZ>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-problem-statement.user.md as its primary input. Do not proceed to solution space if a STOP advisory is present without operator acknowledgement.

High-quality examples to consult before writing:

docs/business-os/strategy/HBAG/<YYYY-MM-DD>-problem-statement.user.md — artisan bag accessories; strong on: forced-choice binary Core Problem framing, workarounds table, documented failure states, "Unblocked by:" kill condition format, research appendix separation
