Product Signal

The product function's place in the loop. Marketing has marketing-feedback; CS has account-health; this is product's. It pulls the signals that should shape what gets built out of the shared log into product's own triage queue, and — for anything shipped — writes the one-line "what this means for the buyer" so a feature doesn't land silently. This closes handoffs H4 (CS→product) and H5 (product→GTM) in docs/operating-model.md.

From the shared feedback log (demo/feedback-log.md, or your own) and ops/customers.md:

1. Pull the product-shaped signals. Three kinds belong on the roadmap, not in a meeting note:
   • RETENTION-RISK lines that are really a product gap — adoption friction or a missing capability, not a CS task.
   • FEATURE-REQUEST items that block an adoption or an expansion (the ones tied to a renewal or a second team).
   • Win/loss reasons that are about the product, not the deal — what we couldn't do that cost us, or won us, the deal.
2. Route each into ops/roadmap-signals.md. One row per signal: the source, the type, the account or pattern it's tied to, where it's routed, and a status (New → Routed → Shipped). This is product's working surface — distinct from the raw log it's pulled from.
3. Wait for the pattern on anything ambiguous. A single request isn't a roadmap item; a request that recurs across accounts, or one blocking a real renewal, is. Don't route noise.
4. Close the loop on anything shipped. For each item that ships, write the one-line buyer-facing translation in the last column: what can the customer now do that they couldn't before — in their language, not the release note's. Hand that line to GTM (it's what marketing-feedback's readers and the deal follow-ups need). No feature ships without it — the antidote to building things no one adopts.

Don't promise a roadmap; this routes the signal and frames the outcome. The build decision is yours.

Depth

• quick: pull the product-shaped signals from the log into ops/roadmap-signals.md.
• standard: the full triage above — routed, status-tagged, patterns separated from noise.
• deep: + the buyer-facing line for each shipped item, ready to hand to GTM.
