PRD Completeness Validator

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Validate PRD completeness against 12 essential sections, score gaps, and generate templates to fill them before stakeholder review.

What You Get

Catch missing and weak PRD sections before stakeholder review. Get a completeness score, prioritized gaps by impact, and ready-to-use templates - avoiding 2-3 revision cycles.

The Problem

Product managers often submit PRDs for stakeholder review only to receive feedback that critical sections are missing or insufficient. This leads to multiple review rounds, wasted time, and delayed development cycles. Common gaps include success metrics, edge cases, user stories, dependencies, and risk mitigation plans.

The Solution

Evaluates PRDs against a 12-section checklist based on industry best practices from ProductPlan, Atlassian, Product School, and Aha!. Scores each section as Complete (1.0), Weak (0.5), or Missing (0), calculates weighted completeness percentage, identifies critical gaps by downstream impact, and provides specific recommendations with ready-to-use templates for strengthening or adding missing sections.

How It Works

  1. 1 Parse and analyze PRD structure to identify present, missing, and weak sections
  2. 2 Score against 12 essential sections: Problem Statement, Target Users, Solution, User Stories, Success Metrics, Technical Requirements, Edge Cases, Dependencies, Timeline, Risks, Stakeholders, Open Questions
  3. 3 Calculate weighted completeness score: (Complete x 1.0 + Weak x 0.5) / 12 x 100%
  4. 4 Prioritize gaps by impact: Critical (success metrics, edge cases, user stories), High (dependencies, risks), Medium (open questions, stakeholders)
  5. 5 Generate recommendations with Issue, Impact, Questions to Answer, and ready-to-use Templates
  6. 6 Provide time estimates and benefit analysis (review rounds avoided)
