How it works

  1. 1
    Paste your rough observation

    A vague complaint, a customer quote, a metric that looks wrong, or even just a hunch. Any level of clarity works. SPM handles ambiguity.

  2. 2
    SPM digs to the root cause

    The AI separates symptoms from causes, identifies the affected user segment, quantifies impact where possible, and maps dependencies. It fills gaps with suggestive estimates you can validate.

  3. 3
    Get a validated problem statement

    A structured output with root cause analysis, evidence section, business impact, scope boundaries, and competitive context. Ready to present to stakeholders or drop into a PRD.

What you get

Root cause, not symptoms

SPM pushes past the surface complaint to find the structural issue. "Users are churning" becomes "onboarding requires 4 sequential human handoffs with no parallel tracks."

Quantified impact

Every problem gets sized in multiple dimensions: revenue at risk, support cost, time wasted, opportunity cost. Suggestive estimates where data is missing.

Solution-to-problem reframing

If you paste a solution ("we need a chatbot"), SPM reframes it as the underlying problem with evidence of why it matters.

Stakeholder-ready format

Output includes who is affected, evidence, root cause chain, business impact, scope boundaries, and competitive context. Ready for a PRD or leadership review.

FAQ

Do I need to pay or sign up?

No. 2 free problem statements, no sign-up required. Sign in with Google for unlimited access and 30 expert document reviews.

What input works best?

Anything from a one-line complaint to a paragraph of context. The more specific your input (metrics, user quotes, competitive context), the more grounded the output. But even "users are churning" produces a useful framework.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT paraphrases your input. SPM applies a 16-point evaluation framework covering root cause depth, evidence quality, business impact, and strategic alignment to produce a problem statement that passes stakeholder scrutiny.

Can I get this problem statement reviewed by an expert?

Yes. Sign in for 30 expert reviews covering PRDs, competitive analyses, user stories, roadmaps, and more. See all reviews →
