Problem

Scenario

You are advising a product and engineering organization that must choose between investing in a new platform capability or using the same capacity to ship customer-facing features. Leadership believes both paths could create value, but only one can be prioritized now. The team needs a clear way to judge which option will create more strategic value over the next few quarters.

Question

How do you decide whether to invest in a new platform capability versus shipping customer-facing features?
