TECHNOLOGY BEYOND THE SPECS

does it actually improve your life?

Watson Value Framework

Five questions that cut through the hype and tell you if a piece of technology actually belongs in your life.

Friction

Does it remove what’s slowing you down - or does managing it become the new friction?

Problem

Does it solve a real issue in your actual life - not a theoretical one?

Adoption

Can you build it into your existing routine without a major behavior overhaul?

Longevity

Will it still earn its place in two years - or is it just feeding the upgrade cycle?

Impact

Does it help you grow, create, lead, or get your time back in a way that matters?
