Forming a coherent hypothesis is an instrumental tool when analyzing and addressing any business problem. It is a common approach used by management consultants. When evaluating any new, abstract business problem, it is wise to begin by forming an hypothesis related to the problem.
A popular consulting framework for forming a hypothesis is PRICE. PRICE is used by strategy consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. It can be used to test a hypothesis, determine if the hypothesis is valid, and answer questions, like, Does the hypothesis make sense? Should it be discarded? Should it be reworded?
This document explains the PRICE framework and provides template slides to be used in your own presentations.
The PRICE Hypothesis Generation Framework document is an essential resource for executives seeking to sharpen their problem-solving skills. It provides a structured approach to hypothesis formulation, ensuring that all critical aspects of a business problem are considered. This framework helps in framing the problem accurately, bringing out the right questions, and drawing out the right discussions, making it a valuable tool for strategic decision-making.
The document includes a comprehensive overview of the PRICE framework, breaking down each component—Problems, Restrictions, Individuals, Criteria, and Environment. Each section is designed to guide you through the process of hypothesis generation, ensuring that no stone is left unturned. The framework's methodical approach ensures that your hypotheses are robust, actionable, and aligned with your business objectives.
Included in the document are template slides that can be directly used in your presentations. These templates are designed to be easily customizable, allowing you to tailor them to your specific needs. By using these templates, you can streamline your hypothesis generation process, making it more efficient and effective.

This PPT slide outlines a structured approach to formulating hypotheses by addressing 3 critical questions. This framework is essential for ensuring that hypotheses are comprehensive and actionable. The first question, "What is creating the phenomenon?" prompts the analyst to identify the underlying causes or factors contributing to the observed situation. This step is crucial for establishing a foundation for further exploration.
The second question, "What is the observable phenomenon?" encourages a clear definition of what is being studied. This involves identifying specific metrics or indicators that can be measured, allowing for a more objective analysis. By focusing on observable elements, the hypothesis gains clarity and direction.
The third question, "What is the outcome of the phenomenon?" shifts the focus to the implications or results of the identified phenomenon. Understanding the outcomes helps in assessing the potential impact and relevance of the hypothesis. This structured inquiry not only aids in hypothesis generation, but also facilitates deeper analysis and strategic decision-making.
The arrows connecting the questions suggest a flow of logic, indicating that each question builds upon the previous one. The slide also includes prompts for further elaboration, such as "Due to..." and "Resulting in...," which guide the user in articulating the relationships between causes, observable phenomena, and outcomes. This structured approach is particularly valuable for executives looking to enhance their strategic thinking and ensure that their hypotheses are robust and well-founded.
This PPT slide presents the PRICE framework, a structured approach for dissecting a hypothesis into 5 key components: Problems, Environment, Criteria, Restrictions, and Individual. Each component serves a distinct purpose in guiding strategic decision-making.
The central focus is on identifying the Problems to be solved. This is the initial step, emphasizing the importance of pinpointing 1-3 high-level questions that will steer the analysis. An example provided illustrates this by asking how to leverage channel advantages against competitors.
The Environment context is crucial, as it sets the stage for understanding the client or industry situation. This contextual information is necessary to frame the problem accurately.
Criteria for success are outlined next, stressing the need for specificity in defining these criteria. This ensures that the goals are clear and measurable, although it is noted that these criteria can evolve over time.
Restrictions on scope and hurdles are also highlighted. Keeping these at a high level, related to the original problem statement, is essential for maintaining focus. An example indicates that product return on capital employed (ROCE) should exceed a certain percentage, which serves as a tangible benchmark.
Lastly, the Individual component addresses the decision-makers involved. It’s important to recognize that different levels of decision-makers require varying degrees of detail. This understanding aids in tailoring the communication and analysis to meet the specific needs of each stakeholder.
Overall, the PRICE framework offers a comprehensive method for breaking down complex hypotheses into manageable parts, facilitating clearer strategic discussions and decision-making.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
