Exponent alternative
Practice the reps, not the lecture library.
Exponent leans on course videos and peer mocks. HackProduct is rep-based: you answer real scenarios, Hatch critiques the reasoning move you missed, and the product tracks which part of your judgment keeps breaking.

When HackProduct is the better fit
You want feedback on reasoning quality, not only a video walkthrough.
You would rather run a rep now than schedule a peer mock for next week.
You are an engineer who wants product judgment reps, not a PM-only curriculum.
You want a running map of where your judgment breaks, not a course-completion bar.
Keep the videos if you like them. Add the reps that grade your reasoning.
Public previews show the map. The app gives you reps, Hatch follow-ups, FLOW feedback, weak-move drills, and saved proof of progress.
