How to use the Product teardown template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Product teardown template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Product teardown”.
Follow the instruction on the board
“Sign up as a real customer would, with screenshots at every step. Separate what you saw from what you think about it.”
Fill in each part
- First impression What does the homepage promise, and to whom?
- Onboarding Steps to first value, and where it slowed you down.
- Core loop What do people do every week, and how easy is it?
- Pricing How they charge and where the upgrade pressure is.
- Borrow What they do better than us that we should learn from.
- Avoid What annoyed you that we must not repeat.
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Product teardown board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.

Product principles
Write the few principles that settle product arguments before they start, each with an example of what it rules in and out.
Opportunity solution tree
One outcome, the customer opportunities behind it, solutions for each and the experiments to test them.
RICE scoring
Score ideas by reach, impact, confidence and effort, so the backlog order has reasons.
Problem statement builder
Write a problem worth solving before anyone suggests a solution: who has it, when, what it costs them and how we know.
Opportunity scoring
Find under-served needs: score how important each outcome is to customers and how satisfied they are today, then chase the biggest gaps.
Product vision on a page
Say where the product is going in one page: the change it makes, for whom, what it will never be, and how we’ll know it worked.
