Frequently asked questions
Does this write the brief for me?
It structures what you enter — it doesn't invent details. The quality of the output brief depends entirely on the detail you put into each field.
How is the completeness score calculated?
Each of the four fields (idea, target user, core action, constraints) can contribute up to 25% based on whether it has enough detail (roughly 15+ characters), with partial credit for shorter answers.
What if I don't have constraints yet?
You can leave it blank, but the brief will flag it as missing — most real projects have at least a timeline or budget constraint worth naming.
Can I use this for a feature brief instead of a whole product?
Yes — the same four fields (idea, user, action, constraints) work at feature scope just as well as product scope.
Is this the same as a PRD?
No, it's a lighter-weight input brief meant to feed a PRD, an AI prompt, or a kickoff conversation, not replace a full requirements doc.
