Discovery is not one activity. It runs as a cycle: interviews feed insights, insights shape the metrics you track, metrics point to the experiments worth running, and experiments feed the demo that closes the loop back into the next round of interviews. Most teams have one practice that quietly stopped happening, and the other four keep running anyway, producing motion that looks like discovery and isn’t.
