Why it exists
To reduce early planning friction and transform scattered ideas into structured information that can support decisions, documents, and execution.
The working system, by capability.
The feature set is organized around responsibilities the product must own—not a collection of disconnected screens.
Workspace models
Organize planning information into a reusable system.
Consultation workflows
Move discovery through a consistent sequence.
AI-guided question engine
Support structured exploration of an early business idea.
A guided path from discovery to an actionable planning record.
The current architecture separates the planning experience, guided workflow, AI-supported questioning, structured workspace data, and roadmap output so each responsibility can evolve without collapsing into one prompt or document.

Technical choices with consequences.
Technology matters here as a response to constraints. Each choice carries a reason and an acknowledged tradeoff.
Constraint
Early business ideas arrive incomplete, inconsistent, and difficult to reuse.
Decision
Store planning information in structured workspace models instead of treating one generated document as the source of truth.
Why
A reusable planning record can support multiple workflows and outputs as the idea becomes more specific.
Tradeoff
The information model must be designed and evolved deliberately rather than accepting any free-form shape.
Constraint
A blank prompt asks the founder to know which questions matter before the planning process has begun.
Decision
Use a guided consultation sequence with an AI-supported question engine.
Why
The product can progressively gather context while keeping discovery tied to an explicit planning workflow.
Tradeoff
Guidance improves consistency but requires careful sequencing so the experience does not become a rigid form.
Technology in service of the system.
The stack supports the current implementation; it is not the product story by itself.
