Chapter 23: Building AI Products — Notebook 01 (Validation & Prioritization)¶
Great products start with a real problem and ruthless prioritization. We validate an idea, then rank a backlog with RICE so effort goes where it counts.
What you'll learn¶
| Topic | Section |
|---|---|
| Problem-first validation | §1 |
| RICE scoring | §2 |
| Ranking a backlog objectively | §3 |
Time estimate: 2.5 hours
Key concepts¶
- Problem-first — fall in love with the problem, not your model.
- RICE — Reach x Impact x Confidence / Effort.
- Objectivity — a shared formula beats the loudest voice in the room.
- AI-fit — use AI only where it beats a simpler solution.
Validate the problem first, then prioritize with RICE so engineering effort flows to the highest-leverage work — and reserve AI for where it genuinely wins.
