Fit Interview
What this helps you do
Fit Interview stands out through one mechanism: a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user.
What you would do
The proposed workflow would establish the starting idea, intended outcome, audience, boundaries, constraints, and known unknowns, then collect relevant notes, evidence, alternatives, assumptions, preferences, and dependencies, then transform through the signature workflow — make a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user the organizing experience across every stage. Earlier versions and open questions would remain reviewable.
What you would leave with
The intended output or completion state for Fit Interview is an editable decision record for guide a structured self-and-audience fit assessment using evidence, preferences, tradeoffs, and uncertainty; that result stays bounded to the concept’s stated scope.
- The idea, question, possibility, or concept being worked on
- Your intended outcome and definition of useful progress
- Relevant people or audiences, context, constraints, resources, and dependencies
What you would start with
The proposed starting point is the idea, question, possibility, or fragment being examined, plus whatever context is already known. Unknowns can remain explicitly unresolved.
- Establish the starting idea, intended outcome, audience, boundaries, constraints, and known unknowns
- Collect relevant notes, evidence, alternatives, assumptions, preferences, and dependencies
- Transform through the signature workflow — make a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user the organizing experience across every stage
- Examine at least two scenarios, counterpositions, or alternative interpretations
How the experience unfolds
The organizing device is a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user. The workflow would preserve source context, compare alternatives, and keep uncertainty visible as the idea changes.
- specific orientation and example project
- Editable user-defined criteria, labels, and weights where relevant
- Visible source, evidence, assumption, inference, and unknown states
- Comparison, undo or restore, and reasoning trace
- Versioned save, review, and recovery appropriate to class
What is included
The concept scope calls for the prompts, comparison tools, version history, and editable records needed to reach an editable decision record for guide a structured self-and-audience fit assessment using evidence, preferences, tradeoffs, and uncertainty. Those elements remain proposed until a release is actually built.
A realistic example
A representative use case would begin with an incomplete idea, apply a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user, compare at least two interpretations, and end with an editable decision record for guide a structured self-and-audience fit assessment using evidence, preferences, tradeoffs, and uncertainty.
Who it is designed for
For Fit Interview, the intended user is people deciding whether an idea is valuable, personally suitable, usable, resilient, and safe enough to test, especially when they need to guide a structured self-and-audience fit assessment using evidence, preferences, tradeoffs, and uncertainty.
What makes it different
Fit Interview is organized around a two-chair interview that alternates between creator and intended user, giving it a distinct route from neighboring concepts.
Why it is an Asteroid
Fit Interview is classified as an Asteroid because of its intended scope: connected idea workflow. This depth label does not indicate release status, quality, or priority.
Important limits or uncertainties
Fit Interview stays within its stated scope. The workflow can clarify and test an idea, but it cannot prove originality, feasibility, legality, safety, demand, or commercial success. This is a Future Concept, so no release, schedule, availability, or outcome is guaranteed.
Demo and Full plans
If ICU later develops Fit Interview, a representative Demo could be defined and tested before any broader release. If a Full version were later approved, it could extend the same method with repeat-use, review, history, recovery, and export depth appropriate to the class. No Demo, Preview, or Full release is scheduled or promised by this catalog entry.
