What problem does it solve?

- Automatically incorporate archetype-specific questions (atomic-visit, focus-group, multi-stage) and explicit stage gates to guide progress.
- Gate-ready output in ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md with a Stress Test appendix and a Gate Brief, enabling downstream skills and humans to proceed confidently.
