Doesn't seem notable, fails WP:GNG. All the sources here and elsewhere are by the two proponents of the approach, their business, and the group that gave them a grant. In general, when I come across the phrase "exploratory product development" in web pages turned up by Google, it's being used generically, not to refer to the methodology of these people. Google Scholar is the same. "Exploratory PD" also turns up nothing to support WP:GNG. Largoplazo (talk) 22:42, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: This is, at very best, an example of WP:TOOSOON, and at worst the actually-funded-somehow academic analogue to a drinking game indigenous to a particular fraternity house. The prodigious use of vanity capitalization/a CamelCase initialism is indicative of the substance and notability deficiencies. Thank you for nominating this, Largoplazo. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  19:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
