SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It prevents you from committing time and resources to projects that will not work by forcing a rigorous feasibility check before any planning or building begins. Many projects fail because scope is set on gut feeling rather than evidence about market size and actual conversion. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feasibility Gate: Evaluates whether a framed project is viable by testing reach (market size or audience) against actual conversion (payment willingness or reputation gain), requiring evidence rather than guesses. - Scope Determination: Decides whether to expand, maintain, or reduce project scope based on the feasibility findings, separating essential minimums from optional extras. - Challenge Questions: Applies premise challenges, proxy-goal suspicion, failure-mode analysis, and a one-year vision check to filter out projects that solve imaginary problems. - Use Case: After framing a new online course idea, run this gate to verify how many people actually want it, how many would pay, and what happens if you never build it—before writing a single lesson plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a feasibility check on my framed project using drive-scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a project idea before starting work?▼

Run a feasibility gate that tests two factors: how many people the project can reach and whether that reach converts into real outcomes like payment or reputation. This skill enforces evidence-based answers rather than gut-feel estimates before allowing scope decisions.

What is a feasibility gate in project planning?▼

A feasibility gate is a checkpoint that blocks a project from advancing to planning until viability is proven. This skill acts as a hard gate: if reach and conversion do not both hold up with supporting evidence, the project is marked on hold instead of moving forward.

Does this skill work for non-commercial creative projects?▼

Yes. It distinguishes between money-driven, reputation-driven, and pure-expression projects. Pure expression projects with no intended effect bypass the feasibility gate and pass based on the framing stage alone.

What happens if my project fails the feasibility check?▼

The project status is set to on-hold and the specific weakness is recorded in the feasibility section, such as insufficient reach, weak conversion, or no real consequence if not built. It is not forced through to the planning stage.

When should I use drive-scope versus drive-frame?▼

Use drive-frame first to define what the project is and who it serves. Use drive-scope second, only after the goal section exists in progress.md, to test whether that framed project is actually viable and to finalize its scope.
