Problem Articulation

Define the problem so clearly that the right solution becomes obvious.

How to use

• /problem-articulation Apply problem articulation constraints to this conversation.
• /problem-articulation <context> Sharpen the problem definition for the described situation.

Constraints

Problem Statement Structure

• MUST name the specific person experiencing the problem (role, context, situation)
• MUST describe what they're trying to accomplish and what prevents them
• MUST state the impact: what happens when this problem isn't solved?
• SHOULD express the problem in the user's language, not internal jargon
• NEVER include a solution in the problem statement. "We need a dashboard" is a solution, not a problem.
