Blank Starter Opportunity Solution Tree Template

An empty outcome with a few opportunity placeholders — the prompts show what each level is for.

The template

Outcome · Your measurable outcome — a behaviour change, not a feature
An unmet need you heard in research

Phrase it as the customer’s problem, in their words.

A second customer need

Another distinct need that, if solved, would move the outcome.

A third customer need

Keep mapping the opportunity space before jumping to solutions.

The root is your outcome; each branch is an opportunity — a customer need worth exploring. There are no pre-filled solutions on purpose: solutions are the part that only makes sense for your product, and they come from your own research. “Use this template” opens it as a real, editable Opportunity Solution Tree in Outcomify, where you (or your own AI agent over MCP) add the solutions and the evidence behind them.

How to use this template

  • Swap in your own measurable outcome at the root — a behaviour change, not a feature.
  • Keep only the opportunities your customer research supports, and add the ones it surfaces.
  • Add a few solutions per opportunity, then let evidence — not the template — decide which to test.
