Summary

Product design is a cost-benefit analysis, weighing the usefulness of a feature against its effort level. Every type of feature falls into one of four quadrants: low reward and low effort, low reward and high effort, high reward and low effort, or high reward and high effort. It's wise to avoid the upper left quadrant for non-essential features. Understanding where your feature fits in is crucial for effective product design.
