Assumptions Manager

• See every assumption behind the project in one prioritized view, not scattered across tools.
• Focus limited experimentation budget on the highest-impact, lowest-evidence assumptions first.
• Catch inconsistencies and hidden assumptions before they become costly surprises.
• Turn "we think" into an explicit, managed risk register for the strategy.

• Automatically aggregates the assumptions captured across the other tools, plus any custom make or break assumptions you want to add directly.
• Prioritizes assumptions by impact on success and strength of supporting evidence.
• Flags potential inconsistencies between assumptions.
• Hands your prioritized assumptions to the Evidence Gathering Tool.

1. Review the assumptions that flow in automatically from the other tools.
2. Add any critical assumptions the other tools didn't capture in the right way.
3. Rate impact and evidence for each (some impact scores compute automatically from the evaluation tools).
4. Resolve inconsistencies and pick the high-priority assumptions to work on.
5. Hand the priorities to the Evidence Gathering Tool, and feed evidence status to your Strategy Evaluation.

What is the Assumptions Manager in Growth Forge?

It's the single place where every assumption behind your strategy hypothesis is gathered, made explicit, and prioritized by impact and evidence, so you manage risk proactively instead of discovering it late.

How do I prioritize which assumptions to test first?

Assumptions Manager scores each assumption on impact (how much it affects success) and evidence (how well supported it is). The highest-impact, lowest-evidence assumptions rise to the top as the ones worth testing first.

Where do the assumptions come from?

Most are captured automatically by the strategy modeling tools and appear here; you can also add your own critical assumptions directly.

What's the difference between impact and evidence?

Evidence is the strength of the data behind an assumption, from a rough guess to real-world actuals; impact is how materially the assumption affects the project's success. Prioritization balances the two.

What does it connect to?

It draws assumptions from across the tool suite and feeds the Evidence Gathering Tool; assumption status contributes to your Strategy Evaluation.
