The person behind the framework.
Gale Robins
Founder · Creator of the Product Discovery Judgment Framework
Gale mentors cohorts at Unicorn Factory Lisboa, where she works with founders on product discovery challenges. She was Director of Product Management at Petrotranz (a Wood Mackenzie business), and earlier in her career founded and exited her own software company.
Three decades of building, selling, and advising on software products. The Discovery Judgment Framework draws on that experience, translated into something teams can learn and apply.
Connect on LinkedIn →"Unvera" comes from the Latin root meaning "to uncover truth", which is exactly what good product discovery does. Not confirming what you already believe, but revealing what's actually true about the problem, the market, and the path forward.
The Story
Why we started Unvera.
Teams can move straight to building, or complete discovery activities without changing the decisions they make. Unvera began with a structured process grounded in jobs-to-be-done, then made 19 critical Judgment Points visible so teams could improve the reasoning behind their choices.
The Human Foundation supports the courage to challenge assumptions and change course. Together with Structured Process and Judgment, it forms the operational core. AI Partnership can accelerate activities while people remain accountable for decisions.
Our Principles
How we operate across everything we build, teach, and advise.
Judgment first.
Discovery is only as strong as the decisions behind it. Everything we build, teach, and advise starts here.
AI as a thought partner, not a replacement.
AI should strengthen human reasoning, not bypass it. We design for partnership, not automation.
Lightweight by design.
Reduce cognitive load. Fit into existing workflows. Never add complexity for its own sake.
Make reasoning visible.
Surface assumptions, connect evidence, and capture rationale. If the thinking isn't visible, the judgment can't improve.
Let's Talk
Whether you're exploring training for your team, embedding discovery in a programme, or working through a critical product decision, we'd love to hear what you're working on.
