Abigail	Preeti/Julie	Gate 0	On Target	Abigail Study with Prototypes Completed testing with about 10 consumers in their homes. Received very positive feedback. In general they liked the use of Abigail for all three scenarios tested: reminders, door and window monitoring, and notifications when children return home. Conclusions In this week's check in with leadership it was agreed that the Abigail product would provide functionality, reminders for the entire family, that currently doesn't exist in the target market. The team discussed alternatives to get Abigail to market more quickly. Also acknowledged that Connected Devices has a limited number of resources and cannot continue carrying forward every project that shows promise, and a decision was made to move Abigail into the backlog. The possibility of adding Abigail's activity monitoring functionality to HomeWeb at some point in the future to differentiate HomeWeb was identified as showing some potential.
Project Magnet	David/Maria	Gate 0	On Target	Checkin 29th November to update about the progress of the project (Slides and video recording) Development Busy last week with test run and bug fixing, we had to fix some issues and delay the upload from Nov 23 to Nov 26th. MVP Magnet client already available in the stores in iOS and Android today London Pilot promotion through mailing list, discourse and our twitter account to track downloads, metrics and gather feedback Experiments/User Studies User Validation in SF started yesterday (30th Nov). This study, based on a mock-up prototype, will be run in Balmey Alley (Value-prop video) Problem Hypotheses: People have FOMO about knowledge and experiences in the world around them, existing solutions provide useful practical information but are geared towards consumption of goods and services, not gaining knowledge or experiences Experience Strategy: Provide a sense of adventure and progress in the experience, combine the digital and physical worlds in a unique and compelling way, provide visually engaging stories and encourage user-generated content to add value. Problem-solution fit - does our concept have value? Marketing Campaign releases focusing on one segment (street art) Partner with publisher(s) with existing followers
