Define the outcome
Describe the user, the current path and the result that matters. Separate requirements from assumptions and make the main constraint visible.
A six-step delivery path that keeps the problem, architecture, experience and improvement loop connected.
Clarify the problem, users, constraints and desired outcome.
Map the data, integrations, boundaries and technical path.
Turn the system into a clear, useful experience.
Develop the product, workflow or intelligent tool.
Connect APIs, automation, data and existing operations.
Observe what works, learn and make the next version better.
Each stage produces a clearer artifact: a problem map, an architecture, a usable flow, a working build, connected operations and a plan for improvement.
Delivery is easier to review when each stage answers a concrete question and leaves behind an artifact the team can inspect.
Describe the user, the current path and the result that matters. Separate requirements from assumptions and make the main constraint visible.
Check the first useful flow with representative cases. For AI or automation, include exceptions, access boundaries, human review and failure recovery in the acceptance criteria.
Record how the system is deployed, monitored, maintained and changed. Confirm who owns credentials, third-party accounts, source code, support and future release decisions.
The six-stage sequence is a planning guide, not a fixed contract schedule; scope and timing are agreed for each project.
