# PRD – Product Requirements Document

## 0. Header

| Owner | Stakeholders | Status | Target date | Doc version | Links to tickets |
|-------|--------------|--------|-------------|-------------|------------------|
|  |  | Draft | TBD | 0.1 |  |

## 1. TL;DR

- Goal metric: (define in Success metrics)
- Approach: See Objective.
- Scope: See Scope constraints.
- Decision needed: Review and approve before build.

## 2. Problem and context

Target users are trying to achieve a clear outcome but are blocked by: See Problem summary..

**Non-goals:** This PRD does NOT attempt to solve unrelated scope, legacy migrations beyond the stated scope, or non-prioritized nice-to-haves.

## 3. Goals and success metrics

| Metric | Baseline | Target | Timebox | Notes |
|--------|----------|--------|---------|-------|
| Primary success metric | TBD | TBD | TBD |  |

## 4. Users and use cases

**Personas:** Primary segment

**Top use cases:**

- Complete core flow to achieve primary outcome
- Handle edge cases and errors without losing progress
- Discover and adopt the feature (onboarding/activation)

## 5. Proposed approach

- Deliver the core flow that maps to the primary success metric.
- Ensure validation, errors, and persistence are in scope.
- Instrument key actions for measurement.
- Design for phased rollout and feature flags if needed.

## 6. Requirements

### 6.1 Functional requirements

| ID | Requirement | User value | Priority | Mapped goal(s) | Notes |
|----|-------------|------------|----------|---------------|-------|
| FR-1 | User can complete primary flow end-to-end | Achieves main outcome | Must |  |  |
| FR-2 | System validates inputs and shows clear errors | Trust and recoverability | Must |  |  |
| FR-3 | User can discover the feature and understand value | Activation | Must |  |  |
| FR-4 | Data is persisted and available across sessions | Continuity | Must |  |  |
| FR-5 | Key actions are measurable for success metrics | Attribution | Should |  |  |
| FR-6 | Accessible and usable on target platforms | Inclusion and reach | Should |  |  |
| FR-7 | Performance within acceptable bounds | Usability | Should |  |  |
| FR-8 | Clear rollback or feature-flag path | Safe rollout | Could |  |  |

### 6.2 Non-functional requirements

Performance: response within 2s for key actions. Reliability: 99.5% uptime for critical path. Privacy: comply with existing data policy.

## 7. User stories (outline)

- **US-1**: As a user I can complete the primary flow so that I achieve my goal. → FR-1
- **US-2**: As a user I see clear validation and errors so that I can correct and continue. → FR-2
- **US-3**: As a user I can find and start the feature so that I benefit from it. → FR-3
- **US-4**: As a user my progress is saved so that I can resume later. → FR-4
- **US-5**: As a user key actions are tracked so that we can measure success. → FR-5

## 8. UX and content

Clarity first; minimal steps to value.

**Key screens:** Primary flow screens, error states, empty states.

**Content notes:** CTAs and labels to align with value proposition.

## 9. Analytics and instrumentation

Track: start flow, complete step, complete flow, error. Map to success metrics above.

## 10. Rollout plan

Phased rollout; feature flag for gradual %; monitor success metrics and guardrails.

## 11. Risks, assumptions, open questions

**Risks:**

**Assumptions (top 3 riskiest):**

**Open questions:**
- What is the exact success criteria for go/no-go?
- Who approves scope changes?

## 12. Out of scope

- Out-of-scope integrations or platforms not listed in scope.
- Non-functional work not tied to stated success metrics.
- Future phases or backlog items not in this timebox.

## 13. Follow-up tasks

- Finalize design mockups and content copy
- Spike technical feasibility for risk items
- Schedule review with stakeholders
- Define experiment/rollout plan if A/B
