🧭 Customer Discovery Process

1. Identifying the Problem

The idea for Eostrix emerged directly from my professional experience at Ford Motor Company.
During my work there, I noticed a major gap in how vulnerabilities were managed across different departments and systems.
The existing tools were fragmented, and none provided a unified overview or effective prioritization method.

This first-hand exposure to the problem space revealed a clear need for a centralized, intelligent platform that integrates multiple scanners, reduces noise, and streamlines compliance reporting.

2. The Initial Solution Hypothesis

Initially, I proposed to develop an in-house solution that would address Ford’s specific needs.
After evaluating existing platforms, we found that none fully met the requirements, leading to the creation of a tailored internal product.

This internal success became the foundation for Eostrix, designed to help other organizations facing similar challenges.

3. Customer Discovery Plan

Stage 1 — Internal Validation:
Collaborate with Ford teams to test prototypes and confirm internal pain points.

Stage 2 — External Validation:
Engage with other companies and professionals to assess how widespread the need is and how Eostrix could adapt to various organizational contexts.

c. Collecting Information

Interactions included:

Key Questions Asked:

  1. How do you currently manage and prioritize vulnerabilities?
  2. Can you walk me through the process from when a scanner finds a critical vulnerability to when it’s resolved?
  3. When you have a long list of vulnerabilities, how do you decide which ones to fix first?
  4. Tell me about the last time a critical vulnerability took longer than expected to fix.
  5. Which tools do you use, and what are their main limitations?
  6. What’s the most inefficient or frustrating manual task your team has to do regarding vulnerabilities management.
  7. What’s the most frustrating part about preparing for a compliance audit (like PCI DSS or ISO 27001)?
  8. How do you currently gather and present evidence to auditors to prove a specific control is being met?
  9. Have you ever tried to get a budget for a new tool to help with these issues?

Findings:

5. Impact on Product Development

These findings directly influenced Eostrix’s roadmap:

At Ford, we are currently running a beta version internally, and Eostrix mirrors much of its proven functionality.

6. Readiness for Customer Validation

While early validation shows strong interest and relevance, I plan to:

Eostrix is nearing the Customer Validation stage, with strong problem validation and growing evidence of market need.
