prd-v03-outcome-definition

prd-v03-outcome-definition is a skill for Claude Code from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-planning method for defining measurable signs of success, known as key performance indicators or KPIs. It links those measures to the kind of product being built.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define KPIs, set leading and long-term measures, record evidence and confidence, and create success criteria for evaluating product-market fit.
Why use it?
It replaces vague goals with targets, evidence, and thresholds that can guide product decisions and launch approval.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prd-v03-outcome-definition scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Outcome Definition

Position in HORIZON workflow: v0.2 Product Type Classification → v0.3 Outcome Definition → v0.3 Pricing Model Selection

Consumes

This skill requires prior work from v0.2:

  • BR-* product type entry (from Product Type Classification) — Classification determines which metrics are relevant
  • CFD-* entries (from Problem Framing and Competitive Landscape) — Customer evidence about desired outcomes
  • Market benchmarks and competitor metrics — Reference data for Tier 1/2 targets

This skill assumes v0.2 classification is complete.

Produces

This skill creates/updates:

  • KPI-* entries (outcome definitions) — Measurable success metrics tied to product type
  • BR-* outcome rules (optional) — Constraints derived from KPI thresholds (e.g., "Launch blocked if LTV:CAC < 3:1")
  • Success criteria artifact — Dashboard of leading + lagging indicators that define product-market fit

All KPI entries should include:

  • confidence: 2-3/5 (based on benchmark evidence, not just assumptions)
  • Evidence source (competitor benchmarks, CFD validation, industry reports)
  • Forward target: "Would move to 4/5 if we observe real customer data"

Example KPI entry with confidence:

KPI-001: Time to First Revenue

Type: Tier 1 (Revenue)
Category: Lagging
Definition: Days from market signal identification to first paying customer
Target: ≤14 days
Confidence: 2/5 (source: GearHeart-methodology + 0-customer-validation)
Evidence: BR-001 (GearHeart standard); No pre-customer validation yet
Next Target: "Would move to 4/5 if actual customer reaches paying status in ≤14 days"
Downstream Gate: v0.5 Red Team — if not hit by Day 21, evaluate pivot

---

KPI-002: Conversion Rate (Trial → Paid)

Type: Tier 2 (Leading Indicator)
Category: Leading
Definition: (Paid customers / Trial signups) × 100, measured over 60-day trial period
Target: ≥15% (benchmark: SaaS median 10-15%)
Confidence: 3/5 (source: SaaS-benchmarks + 1-SMB-validation-conversation)
Evidence: CFD-042 (competitive landscape shows SMB conversion patterns)
Next Target: "Would move to 4/5 if we see actual cohort conversion in our product"
Downstream Gate: v0.7 Build Execution — EPIC complete when KPI-002 validated

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
