I went straight into market sizing and kind of lost the thread for a bit.
Start by clarifying the goal: is this to increase revenue, engagement, or retention? Then evaluate the opportunity through user needs, business impact, technical feasibility, and strategic fit, using a structured framework like RICE or cost-benefit analysis. Conclude with a recommendation and suggest a lightweight experiment to validate assumptions before full build.
Pro tip: Emphasize starting with a small MVP or A/B test to measure demand and unit economics before committing to a full build, showing you balance innovation with risk management.
Ask what success looks like: increased revenue per user, engagement, or retention? Formulate hypotheses about why users would want brokerage within the credit card portal.
Analyze existing user behavior and pain points: do credit card users invest? What competitors offer? Validate demand through surveys or interviews.
Estimate potential revenue (e.g., commissions, AUM fees), costs (development, compliance, operations), and impact on core metrics like customer lifetime value.
Consider integration complexity, regulatory requirements, security, scalability, and maintenance burden on the existing portal.
Use a prioritization framework (e.g., RICE) to compare against other initiatives. Recommend a phased approach: MVP, pilot, then scale if metrics are met.
