Talk the product idea into shape.
A new product idea arrives as a feeling about a feature and a user, with everything else undefined. Overscope lets you talk it out and see the rough shape — who it's for, what it does, what could kill it — as a map.
Why speaking beats typing here
The earliest stage of an idea is too fluid to type into a doc; you need to free-associate across users, features, and risks. Speaking keeps that exploration loose while still capturing every thread for you to sort later.
How it works
- Hold to speak and talk through the idea, who it's for, and what could go wrong.
- Overscope structures it into a map with branches for users, features, and risks.
- Switch to cluster or radial layout, refine nodes, then export a PNG.
What you get
- Explore a product idea freely without forcing it into a doc too early.
- See users, features, and risks as separate branches of the same idea.
- Export the map to take into a proper spec once the idea holds up.
Overscope is where a half-formed product idea gets talked into a shape you can decide whether to pursue.
