Goes beyond features to understand functional, emotional, and social motivations.

They HIRE products to do a job.\n\n\"People don't want a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole.\"\nActually: They want a shelf → to display photos → to feel proud of family.\n\n## The Three Job Dimensions\n\n| Dimension | Question | Format |\n|-----------|----------|--------|\n| **Functional** | What task needs doing? | \"Help me [verb] [object]\" |\n| **Emotional** | How do I want to feel? | \"Make me feel [emotion]\" |\n| **Social** | How do I want to be seen? | \"Help me be seen as [quality]\" |\n\n## The Process\n\n1. **Job Statement:** \"When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]\"\n2. **Map all 3 dimensions** for each user type\n3. **Find real competition:** What ELSE could do this job?\n4. **Prioritize:** Which jobs are most critical and underserved?\n\n## Output Format\n\n```\nPRODUCT: [What you're analyzing]\n\nFor [User Type]:\nJOB: \"When [situation], I want [motivation], so I can [outcome]\"\n\n📋 FUNCTIONAL: [Task to accomplish]\n💜 EMOTIONAL: [Feeling desired]\n👥 SOCIAL: [Perception desired]\n\nALTERNATIVES: [What else could do this job?]\nUNDERSERVED: [What part isn't done well?]\nPRIORITY: Critical / Important / Nice-to-have\n```\n\n## Key Questions\n\n1. \"What were you trying to accomplish when you [action]?\"\n2. \"Walk me through the last time you needed to [job]\"\n3. \"What would you do if [product] didn't exist?\"\n4. \"What's frustrating about how you currently [job]?\"\n\n## Integration\n\nCompounds with:\n- **first-principles-decomposer** → Decompose job to atomic need\n- **cross-pollination-engine** → Find how others solve similar jobs\n- **app-planning-skill** → Use JTBD to inform features\n\n---\nSee references/examples.md for Artem-specific JTBD analyses\n","tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":3692,"installsAllTime":139,"installsCurrent":14,"stars":2,"versions":1},"createdAt":1769359839597,"updatedAt":1778485852489},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1769359839597,"changelog":"Initial release - Uncover functional, emotional, social jobs customers hire products for.
