Stress-testing a design involves driving a structured, question-by-question decision-tree interrogation that surfaces hidden dependencies and tradeoffs until a shared understanding is reached. Each decision node produces a recommended answer to resolve ambiguity and move the plan forward.

A decision tree approach for requirements clarification asks follow-up questions one at a time, walking through each branch of a design review. It resolves ambiguity by identifying how earlier decisions constrain later ones, ensuring every outcome aligns with the plan.

You resolve ambiguous plan tradeoffs using a structured interview process that forces clear choices at each step. It recommends an answer per question node while optionally inspecting the codebase to ground recommendations in reality and resolve dependencies.

Yes, you can use codebase grounding to validate assumptions during an architecture discussion. When a question can be answered by inspecting the repository, the process checks the codebase to ground its recommended answers in reality rather than relying on assumptions.

Yes, design review interrogation works for early-stage planning by clarifying ambiguous plans and forcing clear tradeoffs. It drives a relentless decision-tree process until you and your team converge on a clear, implementable decision set.

The limitation of using a decision tree for tradeoff analysis is that it requires sequential, one-at-a-time interrogation, which may not suit rapid-fire brainstorming. It is built for resolving dependencies and aligning decisions, not generating initial concepts.
