+# Step 2: Product Vision Discovery
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Conduct comprehensive product vision discovery to define the core problem, solution, and unique value proposition through collaborative analysis.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
+- ✅ Maintain collaborative discovery tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus only on product vision, problem, and solution discovery
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate vision without real user input and collaboration
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic discovery from problem to solution
+- 📋 COLLABORATIVE discovery, not assumption-based vision crafting
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Generate vision content collaboratively with user
+- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user confirmation through menu
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Current document and frontmatter from step 1, input documents already loaded in memory
+- Focus: This will be the first content section appended to the document
+- Limits: Focus on clear, compelling product vision and problem statement
+- Dependencies: Document initialization from step-01 must be complete
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Begin Vision Discovery
+
+**Opening Conversation:**
+"As your PM peer, I'm excited to help you shape the vision for {{project_name}}. Let's start with the foundation.
+
+**Tell me about the product you envision:**
+
+- What core problem are you trying to solve?
+- Who experiences this problem most acutely?
+- What would success look like for the people you're helping?
+- What excites you most about this solution?
+
+Let's start with the problem space before we get into solutions."
+
+### 2. Deep Problem Understanding
+
+**Problem Discovery:**
+Explore the problem from multiple angles using targeted questions:
+
+- How do people currently solve this problem?
+- What's frustrating about current solutions?
+- What happens if this problem goes unsolved?
+- Who feels this pain most intensely?
+
+### 3. Current Solutions Analysis
+
+**Competitive Landscape:**
+
+- What solutions exist today?
+- Where do they fall short?
+- What gaps are they leaving open?
+- Why haven't existing solutions solved this completely?
+
+### 4. Solution Vision
+
+**Collaborative Solution Crafting:**
+
+- If we could solve this perfectly, what would that look like?
+- What's the simplest way we could make a meaningful difference?
+- What makes your approach different from what's out there?
+- What would make users say 'this is exactly what I needed'?
+
+### 5. Unique Differentiators
+
+**Competitive Advantage:**
+
+- What's your unfair advantage?
+- What would be hard for competitors to copy?
+- What insight or approach is uniquely yours?
+- Why is now the right time for this solution?
+
+### 6. Generate Executive Summary Content
+
+**Content to Append:**

+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow} to bring different perspectives to positioning and differentiation
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter with stepsCompleted: [1, 2], then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#7-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu with updated content
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [vision content finalized and saved to document with frontmatter updated], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin target user discovery.

+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Begin Success Metrics Discovery
+
+**Opening Exploration:**
+"Now that we know who {{project_name}} serves and what problem it solves, let's define what success looks like.
+
+**Success Discovery:**
+
+- How will we know we're succeeding for our users?
+- What would make users say 'this was worth it'?
+- What metrics show we're creating real value?
+
+Let's start with the user perspective."
+
+### 2. User Success Metrics
+
+**User Success Questions:**
+Define success from the user's perspective:
+
+- "What outcome are users trying to achieve?"
+- "How will they know the product is working for them?"
+- "What's the moment where they realize this is solving their problem?"
+- "What behaviors indicate users are getting value?"
+
+**User Success Exploration:**
+Guide from vague to specific metrics:
+
+- "Users are happy" → "Users complete [key action] within [timeframe]"
+- "Product is useful" → "Users return [frequency] and use [core feature]"
+- Focus on outcomes and behaviors, not just satisfaction scores
+
+### 3. Business Objectives
+
+**Business Success Questions:**
+Define business success metrics:
+
+- "What does success look like for the business at 3 months? 12 months?"
+- "Are we measuring revenue, user growth, engagement, something else?"
+- "What business metrics would make you say 'this is working'?"
+- "How does this product contribute to broader company goals?"
+
+**Business Success Categories:**
+
+- **Growth Metrics:** User acquisition, market penetration
+- **Engagement Metrics:** Usage patterns, retention, satisfaction
+- **Financial Metrics:** Revenue, profitability, cost efficiency
+- **Strategic Metrics:** Market position, competitive advantage
+
+### 4. Key Performance Indicators
+
+**KPI Development Process:**
+Define specific, measurable KPIs:
+
+- Transform objectives into measurable indicators
+- Ensure each KPI has a clear measurement method
+- Define targets and timeframes where appropriate
+- Include leading indicators that predict success
+
+**KPI Examples:**
+
+- User acquisition: "X new users per month"
+- Engagement: "Y% of users complete core journey weekly"
+- Business impact: "$Z in cost savings or revenue generation"
+
+### 5. Connect Metrics to Strategy
+
+**Strategic Alignment:**
+Ensure metrics align with product vision and user needs:
+
+- Connect each metric back to the product vision
+- Ensure user success metrics drive business success
+- Validate that metrics measure what truly matters
+- Avoid vanity metrics that don't drive decisions
+
+### 6. Generate Success Metrics Content
