Most roadmaps are a list of everything nobody could talk anyone out of. The useful work is cutting to a few bets and writing down why the rest lost — so the decision can be revisited on purpose instead of drifting back in.
Prototypes, specs, the data itself, the customer call. Seniority is not a reason to stop touching the thing — it is what makes the judgment worth anything. Peak Invest Pro exists because I wanted to know whether I could still do all of it.
