BMC Shift AI companion

From assumption to evidence.

Write down the winning idea after every turn. Use AssumptionsGPT to surface the assumptions behind your ideas, design experiments to test them and build a roadmap of what to test first.

Before you play

Business model context

This information is added to the GPT prompts automatically, so the assumptions fit your business model.

Step 1 Play the game

Winning ideas

Enter the winning idea after every turn. Add as many turns as you play.

Your ideas and context are copied as one prompt. Paste it in AssumptionsGPT with Ctrl+V.
Step 2 Surface the risks

Assumptions

What has to be true for your ideas to work? Paste the assumptions from AssumptionsGPT here.

2

Paste the assumptions AssumptionsGPT

Keep the numbering (1.1, 1.2, 2.1 ...), so every assumption stays linked to its idea.

Paste the prompt in ExperimentsGPT with Ctrl+V and press enter.
Step 3 Design the tests

Experiments

How will you find out if an assumption holds? Paste the experiments from ExperimentsGPT here. They appear as cards in your validation roadmap.

Paste the experiments ExperimentsGPT

Keep the numbering. Every experiment becomes a card in step 4.

Step 4 Decide what to test first

Validation roadmap

Click an experiment to add it to your roadmap. Then drag (or use the arrows) to prioritise, and label each experiment with its impact and current evidence.

Rule of thumb: test assumptions with high impact and weak evidence first. If an assumption breaks your business model when it turns out to be wrong, and you have little proof that it is right, it belongs at the top.
