Product managers should replace traditional PRDs with evals, concrete artifacts built from user feedback that directly measure whether a product solves a specific need. This first-principles approach cuts out legacy work and focuses on the actions that actually deliver value.

evals are the new PRDs. You think of a product manager as I own product strategy and delivering user value by writing a PRD. For my team, as like research product managers, the way to drive user value is to figure out the right user feedback, the evals that then can be a personification of that user need. Because in order to deliver that user value, It's not that exact artifact that people used to write in the last like 1 to 2 decades. It's a new way of working. And so the first principles thinking would be, let me figure out what is the thing I should do to achieve my goals rather than here is a set of activities that I've done and therefore I will continue to do.
