Part 2 of a series on why product discovery fails in practice, focusing on three organizational challenges: missing infrastructure (no metrics, no experimentation platform, slow release cycles), partial validation (relying on weak evidence or validating too late), and no learning (misinterpreting experiment results or failing to act on them).
