SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interviewer and designer collaborate to expose uncertainties, assumptions, and dependencies in plans by walking every branch of the decision tree until alignment is reached.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided questioning that surfaces dependencies and decision points in design plans.
Branch-by-branch tracing to ensure commitments are explicit and testable.
Real-world scenario: use grill-me to stress-test a proposed architecture, PRD, or rollout plan.

Quick Start

Provide your plan and let the assistant grill every decision branch until a shared understanding is reached.

FAQPage Schema

How do I stress-test an architecture plan to find hidden dependencies?▼

Stress-test an architecture plan by relentlessly questioning and tracing every branch of the decision tree until all uncertainties and dependencies are exposed and resolved. This guided interrogation ensures commitments are explicit and testable across all design decisions.

What is the best way to align a team on a PRD before development?▼

Align a team on a PRD by walking every branch of the decision tree collaboratively. Branch-by-branch tracing surfaces assumptions and forces explicit commitments, ensuring shared understanding is reached before development resources are committed.

Can I use decision tree tracing for product strategy sessions?▼

Decision tree tracing works for product strategy sessions by identifying and resolving uncertainties through relentless questioning. It captures dependencies and records resolved outcomes, ensuring alignment is critical when evaluating strategic rollout plans.

How do I enumerate decision nodes in a design review?▼

Enumerate decision nodes in a design review by using structured prompts that guide the questioning process. This surfaces dependencies and decision points, tracing each branch until alignment is reached and all resolved outcomes are explicitly recorded.

What are the limitations of using relentless questioning for plan alignment?▼

Relentless questioning for plan alignment requires structured prompts to function effectively and focuses strictly on resolving uncertainties within the plan itself. It does not generate the initial design but interrogates existing decision branches to reach shared understanding.
