Teams that adopt DRICE notice a difference in the projects they end up prioritizing. Many “promising” projects turn out to be defeated by a half-hour investigation, while “nice to have” features that would have been left on the cutting-room floor end up becoming high-ROI winners.

Learning is complicated.
While we’re doing it, it’s easy to imagine that those around us are completely sure of themselves, moving forward in a well-lit space.
In fact, if you visit a growing company, a useful school or anywhere that growth is happening, you’ll quickly see that everyone is stumbling forward in the shadows.
That’s part of the deal.

Moving work forward doesn’t always mean “let’s meet.” When you do, think about how you can make that time more about building interpersonal connections—starting with conversations that are less about substantive "outcomes" and more about an attitude or philosophy towards the work.
I even pretend that my client’s business isn’t a business at all. Instead, I pretend it’s a book.
Whether you realize it or not, your business is indeed a lot like a book.

Our decentralized approach for decisions passes the torch of responsibility, enabling fast-paced iteration without the need for approval processes. Individuals make urgent, locally optimal decisions. Any misalignments are then ironed out quickly afterward.

- Anxiety of incompetence : my skills are devalued and i have to learn new ones
- Anxiety of irrelevance : people might not relate to, value, or think about me
- Anxiety of uncertainty : I don’t know what the future holds and it feels fickle

Mihika likens the role of a 0-to-1 team within a large company to that of Hestia in Greek mythology, who is the “keeper of the hearth.” It is Hestia’s job to always keep the hearth burning, even while other gods go out on separate quests. This means always keeping the 0-to-1 project alive and helping it spread to others, mostly through setting... See more
