Pre-commitment viability assessment across technical, business, operational, resource, schedule, compliance, risk, and alternative dimensions.
Compact source of truth for feature IDs, names, status, priority, owner, dependencies, and artifact trace links.
Registry for deferred or future work that should remain visible but outside current scope until a specific revisit trigger is met.
Working-backwards launch narrative and internal FAQ that test customer outcome, mechanism, autonomy boundary, feasibility, economics, and scope.
Time-boxed plan for answering specific uncertainty before requirements, design, or investment decisions harden.
Action register for uncertain events that could change project outcome, scored with probability, impact, owner, trigger, response, and review cadence.
Testable security requirements for authentication, authorization, data protection, privacy, validation, logging, compliance, and risk controls.
Stakeholder and decision-rights map for roles, interests, influence, engagement, RACI ownership, communication cadence, and escalation paths.
Structured analysis of assets, data flows, trust boundaries, STRIDE threats, risk, mitigations, owners, and verification hooks.
Frame exit gate that verifies completeness, consistency, traceability, evidence, stakeholder review, and readiness to enter Design.
Frame-activity sequencing artifact that orders framed capabilities and outcomes across iterations or horizons, with dependencies, confidence, and ordering rati…
