Build · Chapter 2 · AI Launch Pad
Spec My Physical Product
This Launch Pad takes you from your experience definition to a buildable spec: materials, sourcing options, a small-batch production plan, and a testing protocol. You walk in with an idea. You walk out with something you can start building this week.
What you walk away with
- An experience spec: the one sentence that defines your product's reason to exist - A materials shortlist: 3-5 material options ranked by cost, availability, and experience fit - Three sourcing options with estimated costs for your first 10-50 units - A small-batch production plan with timeline - A testing protocol: who to test with, what to observe, what questions to ask
The AI does the structuring. You do the building and the testing. It can rank materials by cost. It cannot feel what a 2mm change does in a customer's hand. That is your job.
The guided version opens with The Builder's Desk
A 5-step guided session that structures the work, saves your outputs, and connects them across chapters. Until then, the full briefing is in your copy of the book — it works with any capable AI assistant.
From the book: Save this output, you will need it for LP 2.5 and LP 2.9. Your materials research, prototype cost data, and testing protocol feed into your pricing and your first SOPs.
