Write your problem hypothesis. This is the hypothesis that you will either validate or (probably) come back and revise.
Properties
The document type hypothesis provides the following properties:
Type
Specify the type of the hypothesis to organize them.
Use the hypothesis type to define types of hypotheses.
Owner
Specify the stakeholders who defined the hypothesis and may provide additional information.
Assumptions
List the assumptions this hypothesis is about to prove or disprove.
Target
Automatically lists the target property value of a referenced assumption.
Status
Assign a status to the hypothesis to show its current state within the defined lifecycle.
Sections
Description
Define hypothesis on the target as "I believe [type of person] needs to solve [problem] which happens when [performing task]" or "I believe [type of person] needs to solve [problem] because of [limit or constraint]". Your hypothesis needs to consider the five journalistic questions: who, what, how much, when, and why.
Experiment
Describe the experiment on how you plan to test your hypothesis.
Evidence
Describe what result of the experiment will validate or invalidate your hypothesis. Specify measurable quantitative or observable qualitative outcomes.
Change
Define how the outcome of the experiment will change your behavior.
Subordinate Hypotheses
Complex hypotheses may be broken down into multiple simpler ones. You may use this to add those simpler hypotheses in a hierarchy by adding them as child documents.
Notes
These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.
But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.
References
For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.
Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.
Resources
The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.
This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
