ISpec by artifactPaste the real ticket, the real constraint, the real numbers. A paraphrase is already a design error.IIVerify before reporting upA number you forwarded unchecked becomes your number. Check it against the source before it travels.IIIDurable analysisAn analysis that lives in a chat dies with it, and next quarter pays to re-derive it. Encode the method, not just the answer.IVScope the backlogBound each ask, park the rest by name, and label the expensive work as expensive.VDecks and documentsName the format, cut to what a tired reader will actually read, and strip everything that smells machine-made.VIAdversarial reviewEvery plan deserves a critic with no stake in it. The machine will play one, but only if you ask.VIIDriving adoptionMeasure how the team actually works, find the leverage, run small trials, and count the results.
