- Revised hypothesis:
- Data from nearly 30 interviews of family and friends in the busy family segment is being synthesized and evaluated.
- Investigations of 3rd party Voice solutions for the next phase of Link are to wrap up by end of this week.
- Once the research has been completed, the following validation questions can be answered:
- Does it fit the Mozilla mission?
- Is there a problem worth solving?
- What is the MVP?
- Is it something customers want?
- Can it be solved?
- Next step: Gate 1 approval
- Link team is still simultaneously investigating collaborations or partnerships with 3rd parties.
