Wrong thing built

Fixed by the PB.

Right thing, bad design

Fixed by the DD.

Sloppy execution

Fixed by the PRD checklist.

Stage 1 · PB

Product Brief

Should we do this?

Records the problem, the solution, and why you settled on it. One page. Catches scope creep before any code gets written.

Stage 2 · DD

Design Doc

What does it look like?

Before and after illustrations. The user's state before, the user's state after. Plus the design considerations that shape the build.

Stage 3 · PRD

Product Requirements

How do we build it well?

A technical doc with a checklist. Makes sure Claude follows through on every required and agreed-upon thing. Setup, Build, Test, Deploy, Verify, Document.

The PRD is the checklist. Prose specs get skimmed.

Stage 4 · Build

Build

Work the checklist.

Hand the PRD to Claude. Claude works through each item, ticking boxes as it goes. When the last item is checked, you ship. Done means done.
