How it works

  1. 1
    Paste your fuzzy thinking

    A symptom, a complaint, a gut feeling, or even a solution someone proposed. SPM works backward from whatever you have to find the real problem.

  2. 2
    SPM sharpens the definition

    The AI separates what is wrong (symptom) from why it is wrong (root cause), identifies who is affected, and draws the boundary of what is in and out of scope. Fuzzy thinking becomes a precise definition.

  3. 3
    Get a statement your team can align around

    A clear problem statement with root cause chain, evidence section, and scope boundaries. Share it before a planning session and stop debating what you are actually trying to solve.

What you get

Separates symptoms from causes

SPM works through the symptom to find the structural cause. You stop fixing the same surface problem repeatedly.

Draws scope boundaries

Defines what is in scope and what is explicitly out of scope. Team alignment starts from a shared boundary, not a shared complaint.

Works from proposed solutions too

If you paste "we should build X," SPM extracts the underlying problem and writes it as a problem statement. Start with the problem before committing to a solution.

Quantified where possible

Business impact sized in revenue, time, or opportunity cost. Estimates are flagged as estimates so stakeholders know what to validate.

FAQ

How many problem statements can I create for free?

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

What if I only have a symptom, not a root cause?

That is the expected input. SPM traces from the symptom to the structural root cause, adds scope boundaries, and builds an evidence section. You get a problem statement your team can read once and agree on.

What if I only have a vague hunch?

That is the ideal input. Paste "something seems off with our mobile conversion" and SPM will structure a hypothesis with root cause candidates and evidence gaps you need to fill.

Can SPM also help me build the solution after defining the problem?

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