Turn Customer Complaints into a Roadmap
Added 2026-10-30
Group complaints by frequency, value and cost, then output improvements you can schedule.
I will paste a batch of customer complaints verbatim. Do: 1) cluster into at most five themes with counts; 2) for each theme, say whether it affects new-customer conversion, retention or word of mouth; 3) prioritise by impact times fix cost and mark three that can ship next week; 4) point out complaints that should change expectations (copy or onboarding) rather than the product. Do not write a full requirements doc.

How to use
抱怨是免费的路线图，但要先分清「改产品」还是「改预期」。
Try tweaking it
- Have it state how the hypothesis could be falsified before discussing execution.
- Split the plan into a one-week testable experiment.
What you should get
- A small testable experiment with a failure threshold
- Costs, risks, and what needs outside confirmation
Common mistakes
- Asking for a "full business plan" and getting unverifiable optimistic assumptions.
- No failure threshold, so you never know whether to continue.
How to check the output
- There is a clear failure threshold, testable within a week.
- Costs, assumptions and risks are listed separately.
Where it works
- Good for: turning business assumptions into a small testable experiment with a failure threshold first.
- Watch out: for pricing, contracts and legal points, treat output as a draft needing professional review.
