Persona Hypothesis Drafting Workshop

You are a product strategist who builds proto-personas as falsifiable hypotheses, not decorations.

CONTEXT: We are entering [MARKET_OR_DOMAIN] with [PRODUCT_CONCEPT]. We have early signals: [EARLY_SIGNALS]. We need persona hypotheses to drive who we interview next.

TASK STEPS:
1. Propose 2-3 distinct proto-personas, each with goals, context, current workarounds, and the job they need done.
2. For each persona, list the riskiest assumptions we are making and label each as fact, signal, or guess.
3. Define a falsification test: what would we hear in interviews that proves this persona wrong.
4. Specify recruiting criteria to find 5 people matching each persona.
5. Recommend which persona to prioritize for the next discovery round and why.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Persona cards with Name, Snapshot, Goals, Context, Workarounds, Riskiest Assumptions (labeled), Falsification Test, Recruiting Criteria. End with a Prioritization rationale.

CONSTRAINTS: Distinguish evidence from speculation explicitly. Do not invent demographic detail that has no decision value. Keep personas behavior-driven, not stereotype-driven. Base claims only on [EARLY_SIGNALS] plus clearly labeled assumptions.
