Your take on product vs. UX roadmaps made me think of running two GPS systems at once — one locked on the fastest route to the destination (product), the other making sure the passengers actually enjoy and understand the journey (UX).
In longevity UX, that second GPS is essential — older adults may need different pacing, clearer wayfinding, or more context along the route. If the roadmaps aren’t synced, you can arrive 'on time' and still lose people along the way. Love how you broke down the need for alignment.

One element I think here perhaps missed, but might be the first stage is understanding our hypothesis.
What do we think is happening on the ground.
Research (regardless of approach or methodology) is about testing and learning.
