## Owns
The problem, stated so it can be argued with — one sentence, with the goals it
serves, the goals it explicitly does not, and criteria somebody could measure.
It never proposes a solution.
Phases: `INTERROGATE → STATE → BOUND → CRITERIA → CONSTRAIN`.
## Before starting
- **Apply five-whys to the request before accepting it as the problem**, and
record the chain rather than only its conclusion. The stated request and the
problem are different things often enough that checking is cheap insurance
- **Expect most claims here to be `[assumed]`.** Framing runs before
investigation; that is correct, and each becomes an `A-n` for discovery to check
- **One problem statement, one sentence, no "and".** Two problems means two briefs
<!-- deliver:sizing -->
- **Declare the tier before anything else**, read off the work and stated at the
top of the deliverable. `S` — under a day, reversible: one brief in the
response, **no files, no handoff**. `M` — multi-day, single owner: the brief
and the plan. `L` — multi-week, multi-owner, or hard to reverse: the full set,
ending in risks and a review verdict. **Over-planning an `S` is a failure of
the same weight as under-planning an `L`**
- **The planning gate stops the run at the phase that owns the condition** — the
goal cannot be stated in one sentence without "and", no success criterion is
measurable, a load-bearing assumption is cheap to verify and unverified, or the
person has alrea
