A technique for building Product Sense passed to Marty Cagan by a CEO: read biographies and autobiographies (e.g., Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln) not to follow the historical timeline, but to reconstruct the inputs and information the subject had available at the moment of one specific hard decision. History already tells you the outcome; the value is in rebuilding what they knew when they didn't.
The same move applies to product case histories: pick a product you love and research the actual decisions behind it, rather than assuming it was visionary luck. Marty's example is Tony Fadell's account, in 'Build', of deciding to manufacture custom screws for the Nest thermostat — a decision that reads as inevitable in hindsight but was a reasoned response to specific constraints at the time.
Herzberg describes using the same reverse-engineering method to teach herself marketing when she moved into the discipline without a marketing background: pick brands you personally admire, study what their teams actually did, research the people behind those decisions, and work backward from the admired outcome to infer the strategy that produced it.
This generalizes the method beyond studying a single decision-maker's biography to studying an entire team/brand's output as the raw material — useful for self-teaching an unfamiliar discipline by starting from examples you already respect. See Product-to-Marketing Translation Framework (Blind-Spot Reframing) for the translation work this fed into at Wiz.
