The Questions That Blow Up Builds
Who would be upset if this vanished tomorrow? What do people do today instead? What’s the smallest version someone would pay for this week? Uncomfortable questions, which is exactly why they usually go unasked.
Pushed Twice, Never Past Respect
I push on every answer, twice. Not to be difficult; a soft answer at minute one becomes a dead feature at week three. When discovery ends, the idea either deserves a build or knows exactly why not.
What Discovery Produces
A brief citing its every source
Claims verified, not assumed
Assumptions marked in plain sight
Hard calls made and recorded
A build code that travels
The Ground Rules
No build on partial understanding
Unfinished discovery refuses to ship
Every decision stays reviewable
Your words, quoted verbatim
