Problem

Starting while the Spec is only half-read, or silently disagreeing with its business logic, produces the wrong Solution. Questions and objections surface late, as rework.

Solution

Before any work, get the Spec to clear and agreed, not just read.

  1. Read and iterate over the Spec until the goal is fully clear.
  2. Ask every question you have as a contributor, and resolve it on the Spec before work begins, not later.
  3. Judge the business logic critically and agree with it. Understanding is not agreeing; if you disagree, challenge it now.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The Spec has been read and iterated until the goal is clear
  • Open questions are raised and resolved before any work begins
  • You have agreed with the Spec's business logic, not only understood it
