Example

Prototyping three alternative life paths at a career crossroads

Three lives at 5 years out
  1. Life A — "stay the course" — same company, VP track, suburban move
  2. Life B — "the side bet" — leave, bootstrap an indie product, live lean
  3. Life C — "the wildcard" — relocate abroad, take a fellowship, write full-time
  4. Prototype each: 3 conversations + 1 lived experiment per path
  5. Decision rule: which path is most fun to even prototype?
