One addendum to this is the confused notion of "ship to learn." As you can see, there *are* certain things you can only know after you build and ship something. You won't know the real impact on your trailing indicators until you do. But teams take that as "you can ONLY learn anything by shipping"

"Ship to learn" turns every leading indicator into a trailing indicator, at the very end of a long and laborious process that could have been short-circuited by drawing a doodle and talking to a couple of people. When you're after value instead of clicks, that's enough to get a directional signal.

Another addendum (gotta love the thread format) is that the reason you have to check is that "the solution" is not a fixed, objective thing. "What it means to solve the problem" is negotiated through a social process before it becomes a quantifiable metric. It can and will change.
