When to use it
By breaking down complex technological leaps into concrete, scenario-based flashcards, this tool bridges the gap between abstract laboratory research and practical business planning.
It forces cross-functional teams to lift their heads from immediate product backlogs, enabling them to proactively anticipate industry-shifting transformations rather than reacting to them after market disruption occurs.
