# Beta Signal Intake
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
This playbook defines how a `whynot` idea moves from prototype intake through beta, signal review, and promotion decision.
|
|
|
|
## Flow
|
|
|
|
### 1. Intake and Triage
|
|
|
|
- Capture loose ideas in `inbox/`.
|
|
- Use `PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.md` Stage 0 and Stage 1 to decide whether to park, reject, merge, or create a prototype card.
|
|
- If the idea deserves structured work, create a prototype card from `templates/prototype-card.md` in `prototypes/`.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Prototype Readiness
|
|
|
|
A prototype is ready for beta planning when it has:
|
|
|
|
- a named audience;
|
|
- a learning question;
|
|
- a smallest useful test;
|
|
- an expected signal;
|
|
- a plausible promotion target if the signal is positive.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Beta Planning
|
|
|
|
- Use `BETA_MODEL.md` to choose the beta type and confirm entry criteria.
|
|
- Create a beta plan from `templates/beta-plan.md` in `betas/`.
|
|
- Keep the beta small, explicit, and reversible.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Signal Capture
|
|
|
|
- Record feedback and market evidence in `signals/`.
|
|
- Use `MARKET_SIGNAL.md` and `templates/signal-record.md`.
|
|
- Preserve null, weak, and contradictory signals rather than rewriting history.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Promotion Decision
|
|
|
|
- Review prototype state, beta notes, and signal strength together.
|
|
- Draft a decision from `templates/promotion-decision.md`.
|
|
- Record the final promotion or non-promotion outcome in `DECISIONS.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Required Artifacts
|
|
|
|
| Stage | Required artifact | Location |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Intake | raw note or captured idea | `inbox/` |
|
|
| Prototype | prototype card | `prototypes/` |
|
|
| Beta | beta plan | `betas/` |
|
|
| Signal | signal record | `signals/` |
|
|
| Decision | promotion decision record | `DECISIONS.md` and optionally a filled copy of `templates/promotion-decision.md` |
|
|
|
|
## Seeded Agent Tasks
|
|
|
|
- `agent-tasks/triage-prototype-intake.md`
|
|
- `agent-tasks/prepare-beta-plan.md`
|
|
- `agent-tasks/review-signals-and-draft-decision.md`
|
|
|
|
Use these when the repo needs a repeatable agent prompt instead of ad hoc instructions.
