+# Research Hypothesis Generator
+
+Use this prompt when you want to frame experiments or MVPs around clear hypotheses. It works equally well for internal initiatives, feature ideas, or customer-facing changes.
+
+## Prompt
+
+```text
+Generate <N> research hypotheses based on the following context.
+
+Initiative:
+<Describe the product, service, or internal project>
+
+Goal:
+<State the desired outcome or metric to improve>
+
+Customer or User Data:
+<Summarize relevant observations, telemetry, or qualitative insights>
+
+For each hypothesis:
+- State the hypothesis clearly.
+- Explain the rationale behind it.
+- Suggest a method to test it.
+- Describe potential business or product implications if proven true.
+
+Ensure the hypotheses are specific, testable, and directly tied to improving the product, customer experience, or internal process.
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Swap “N” for any number of experiments you need, and tailor the testing methods to match the tools or analytics stack your team relies on.
+
