The designer can take a guess as to which features will produce
satisfaction, but without some feedback from the users (eg. KA or UE) then
it is just a shot in the dark, perhaps guided by "best practices".

Say you're designing two different models of cars: one for the young
singleton, one for adults with young families. They both might have "it must
be fun to drive long distances" as a requirement (the summer break roadtrip
to florida for college kids, vs the annual pilgrimage to disneyland for the
family). I know you wouldn't suggest that both models should have the same
features, I know you're not that stupid.

How do you determine which features produce the most satisfaction payoff for
each group, thus meeting that requirement?

I won't give you a hint, mmm'KAy.
