Context Engineering Advisor helps product managers diagnose context stuffing versus context engineering and apply bounded contexts, episodic retrieval, and the Research→Plan→Reset→Implement cycle to reduce AI workflow bloat.

Customer Journey Mapping Workshop guides product teams through an interactive mapping session to visualize an end-to-end customer journey, including phases, actions, emotions, pain points, and opportunities. Use it to map a persona and scenario and identify pain points.

De-risk Measurement Advisor identifies what to measure, test, or track to de-risk a product or AI idea across internal (DUFV) and external (PESTEL) dimensions. Use it to stress-test an idea and triage risks into act now or start tracking.

Director Readiness Advisor guides product managers through the PM-to-Director transition across preparing, interviewing, landing, and recalibrating, offering adaptive questions and targeted coaching. Use it when leadership scope is changing and you need practical, situation-specific advice.

Discovery Interview Prep helps product managers plan customer discovery interviews by asking adaptive questions about research goals, customer segments, constraints, and methodologies, then outputs a tailored interview guide.

EOL Message writes a right-sized end-of-life announcement—brief notice through full phased communications—with rationale, customer impact, and next steps. Use it when retiring a product, feature, or plan.

EOL Readiness Advisor runs a go/no-go assessment for retiring a product or feature, then right-sizes the effort. Use it when someone says "we should probably kill this" and nobody has made the call.

End-of-Life Process runs a product retirement end to end, from decision through alignment, planning, preparation, announcement, and close. Use it when you need the full EOL process rather than a single artifact.
