My business partner and I are using the Feynman technique to explain our startup concept to each other before pitching investors, but we keep realizing we have completely different understandings of what we're building. When I explain it simply, they say I'm missing the technical complexity, and when they explain it, I realize I don't actually understand our own product.
More people experience this than they realize.
Simple explanation can reveal fundamental disconnects in shared understanding that were previously hidden by technical jargon and assumptions.
