Based on SOC occupation classification
Produce the high-level architecture overview used by downstream product design and engineering.
Capture and structure raw ideas through guided interview or quick note. Produces a structured idea document ready for research or PRD pass. Focuses purely on product intent — no technical decisions.
Entry-point product workflow from raw idea to validated product design artifacts. Stops at reviewed PRD readiness and does not include engineering implementation.
Write the per-feature PRD from the ranked requirements contract using the mandatory PRD template.
Dedicated analyze gate for PRD and UI brief consistency. Runs script extraction first, then semantic review with evidence-backed findings.
Validate whether the captured problem is real, painful, frequent, and worth pursuing before broader discovery work begins.

|---|---|---|
| A1 | Component boundaries | Split unclear or overloaded components |
| A2 | Communication consistency | Pick one dominant pattern and justify exceptions |
| A3 | Data decoupling | Add boundaries where raw sharing is too tight |
| A4 | Infrastructure proportional | Avoid premature infra for later versions |
| A5 | Dependencies manageable | Mark independent vs sequential buildability |
| A6 | Risks realistic | Add concrete mitigations |
| A7 | Version-aligned | Keep V2+ only elements out of V1 baseline |
Every row must have a finding and status.
