SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Unvetted project plans and designs often contain hidden gaps, conflicting dependencies, and unstated assumptions that only surface late in the development process, leading to costly rework, missed deadlines, and misaligned stakeholder expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless Design Interrogation: Systematically questions every aspect of a plan or design to surface unaddressed edge cases, missing requirements, and conflicting decisions.
  • Decision Tree Traversal: Walks through each branch of the design decision tree to resolve dependencies between choices one at a time, ensuring no conflicting decisions are left unaddressed.
  • Recommended Guidance: Provides a recommended answer for each question to speed up decision-making and align stakeholders on best practices.
  • Use Case: A product manager proposing a new customer onboarding flow can use this skill to have every step, fallback, and edge case questioned to catch gaps before engineering work begins, reducing the risk of late-stage changes.

Quick Start

Use the grill-me skill to question every aspect of my proposed customer onboarding flow plan until we reach full alignment on all design decisions and catch any hidden gaps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a project plan to find hidden gaps before implementation?

To stress-test a project plan, systematically question every decision tree branch to surface unaddressed edge cases, conflicting dependencies, and unvetted assumptions. This structured interrogation provides recommended answers for each gap to align stakeholders and prevent late-stage rework.

What is decision tree traversal for design review and stakeholder alignment?

Decision tree traversal for design review is the process of walking through each branch of a design to resolve dependencies between choices sequentially. It ensures no conflicting decisions remain unaddressed, helping stakeholders reach shared consensus before development begins.

How do I validate unvetted assumptions in a product planning workflow?

You validate unvetted assumptions in product planning by applying relentless design interrogation to question every step, fallback, and edge case. This surfaces missing requirements and resolves ambiguities by providing recommended guidance for each decision.

Can I use gap analysis to catch missing requirements in a customer onboarding flow?

Yes, you can use gap analysis to catch missing requirements in a customer onboarding flow by sequentially questioning every proposed step and fallback. This process identifies hidden gaps and conflicting dependencies to reach full alignment before engineering work starts.

What is the best way to align teams on system design decisions before engineering starts?

The best way to align teams on system design decisions is through structured, sequential questioning of every plan branch paired with recommended answers. This resolves ambiguities and conflicting dependencies, ensuring shared consensus across all contributing parties prior to implementation.

When should I not use sequential questioning for plan validation?

You should not use sequential questioning for plan validation if your project scope is already implemented, as the technique targets unvetted proposals to prevent costly late-stage rework. It is specifically built for pre-implementation product planning, system design, and project scoping workflows.
