This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.
03 / GET STARTED
Ask for missing context and separate workstreams that behave differently.
Examine whether procedures, expertise, experiments or urgent stabilisation fit the evidence.
Specify actions, decision roles, common pitfalls and signals that the domain may change.
04 / MAKE IT YOURS
