These inform the design direction but should not constrain the discovery interview.

If either exists, use it as a starting point — don't re-ask questions it already answers. ## Phase 1: Discovery Interview Do NOT make any design decisions during this phase. Understand the feature deeply enough to make excellent decisions later. ### Interview cadence Ask **2-3 questions per round**, then wait for answers. One round is the default. Add a second only if the first answers leave material gaps — don't run a second round just to feel thorough. **Assert-then-confirm, not menu-with-escape.** When the user's prompt and existing context make one option obvious, name it and ask the user to confirm or override. "This reads as Restrained, confirm?" beats a four-option menu when the answer is already clear.
