Hybrid Intelligence Validation
PROJECT: Security Drone Patrolling for logistics and warehouse operators (SME)
Executive Summary
1. The Verdict
STATUS: PIVOT REQUIRED
(Do not launch current scope)
Strategic Assessment: The core value proposition (cost savings vs. human guards) is validated by the Buyer Persona. However, the current implementation plan faces a critical "Red Flag" from the User Persona (Employees/Union) regarding privacy and GDPR compliance.
Recommendation: Proceed only if the service can be technically restricted to "After-Hours Only" with guaranteed privacy masking for staff. Without this feature, adoption will be blocked by internal stakeholder resistance.
2. The Scorecard
- Desirability (Buyer): HIGH(Strong willingness to pay at 5,000 SEK/mo).
- Feasibility (User): LOW(Severe friction regarding surveillance/privacy).
- Viability (Market): MEDIUM(Dependent on resolving liability questions).
Deep Dive - The Red Flag Report
We simulated 10+ interviews. Here are the critical friction points.
Red Flag #1: The "Big Brother" Effect (Deal Breaker)
Source: Union Representative / Warehouse Staff Persona
Insight: The "Active Video Feed" feature, intended to provide security, is perceived as a management surveillance tool.
"If this drone is flying while my guys are on a smoke break or working late, we have a problem. We need guarantees that the camera is OFF until the alarm goes. I won't sign off on a flying CCTV camera."
Green Light: Price Sensitivity
Source: SME Owner / CEO Persona
Insight: The price point (5,000 SEK) is a "no-brainer" compared to the cost of a physical patrol (approx. 15,000+ SEK). The shared economy model is understood and accepted.
"At that price, I don't care if I share it with the neighbor. As long as it gets here in under 5 minutes, it's better than the zero security I have now."
Risk Factor: Liability Clarity
Source: Insurance/Legal Persona
Insight: Confusion exists regarding damage liability. Who pays if the autonomous drone crashes into a parked delivery truck?
Expert Analysis & Next Steps
This section is authored by Rebel Thinking Consultants based on the AI data.
Interpretation of Findings
The AI simulation reveals a classic B2B conflict: The Buyer (CEO) wants it, but the Users (Staff) will sabotage it. If you launch with the "Live Feed" feature enabled by default, you will face high churn and potential union disputes.
Recommended Action Plan (The Pivot)
To move this from Red to Green, update the concept before prototyping:
- Feature Change:Introduce "Privacy Mode" (Camera hard-locked to OFF unless a breach is detected).
- Marketing Adjustment:Change messaging from "Active Patrol" to "Anonymous Perimeter Defense".
- Legal Prep:Create a one-page "Liability Waiver" specifically for drone collision to ease buyer anxiety.
- Next Step:Re-test the updated "Privacy Mode" concept with the Union Persona to confirm friction is removed.
