A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .
If you’re only responsible for a part of the user experience, and not the whole thing, then you should think through the core benefits you can offer users (i.e. the value proposition from JTBD), and how you can reinforce these benefits in ways that competitors will find difficult to replicate.
This can take the format:
*[Imagined feature] might offer [core customer benefit], whilst being difficult to copy because [hard-to-copy superpower].*
**Example**
**Smart locks** on home dramatically improve guest experience (never lose key) and host safety (change code for every stay). This is difficult for competitors to copy because integrating hardware and software at scale and cross-platform is a huge task.

Throughout solution discovery, the prototype iterations will be tested by the engineers (typically [daily](https://d572Tw04.na1.hubspotlinksstarter.com/Ctc/UD+113/d572Tw04/VWn4Zq2K8jmJW5_4Ym51zCSCbW6hm-BV5ty0cPN7Rflyj3m2ndW7lCdLW6lZ3kVW19jN_11_-8BfW8jQ2l780c69HW7C0cxS5xfF6dW51LSsW8s7GSfW3x7vY98nHcqyW4xTbS_2Qpr1NW3HdwRW52J_FzW2PT8wC1gSSZ0W7rlSFQ6MsCGHW1tscCB63tbwGW2943bf2K9lxyN62C5Ndf-H0WN5w8VFB8Xp74W62H_b71yx53WW3d3VVy4MtmHhW81nvky2cZfZJW1tCRQz6ZrvxVW7Qx7rb6T8WtQW41GyCK78mZ2KW3LVhKb7G9dLcW21HXc-7VFsW1W84kNvr1q5ZgnW8G-gtM3KVZVVW7QbtKv3y0Cfzf3XWhzC04)) in order to both assess feasibility, and to see if the engineers might know of a way to leverage enabling technology to better solve the problem.
It’s important to understand that the product manager is shaping the solutions with their product sense (knowledge of the customers, data, market, business and product), just as the product designer is shaping the solutions with their design sense (knowledge of the various design disciplines), and the tech lead is shaping the solution with their knowledge of the enabling technology.
This is the critical and essential collaboration of product discovery. It is *not* about documenting requirements, designing an experience that reflects those requirements, and then building out those requirements.
