Product Opportunity Analysis

Scenario: Your product team has a new product idea. Before committing resources, you want structured analysis: how good is the idea, what are the risks, who are the competitors, and is this worth pursuing? You want to move from "we have an idea" to "here is a structured go/no-go with rationale" in hours, not weeks.

Patterns used:

  • IdeaGenerator (enterprise) — expands the initial idea space and identifies adjacent opportunities
  • InnovationFramework (enterprise) — evaluates feasibility, desirability, and viability
  • SWOTAnalyzer (enterprise) — structured competitive and strategic assessment
  • DecisionFramework (enterprise) — structured go/no-go with explicit criteria

Integration: CrewAI four-agent crew: ideation, innovation assessment, competitive analysis, decision

What You Get

A complete opportunity assessment covering:

  • Strongest version of the idea — the ideator finds the most compelling framing
  • DFV scores — Desirability, Feasibility, Viability each scored 1-10 with evidence
  • SWOT matrix — including competitive positioning against named competitors
  • Go/no-go recommendation — with confidence level, key risks, and conditions for proceeding

The four-agent structure means you get genuinely independent analytical perspectives before the decision synthesises them — not a single LLM doing everything in one pass.
