Documentation

README

Excerpt

Solution Brief

A solution brief is a concise, one-page document that communicates the proposed solution to a problem. It serves as the bridge between problem understanding and detailed specification, providing enough context for stakeholders to align on the approach without getting lost in implementation details. The one-page constraint forces clarity and prioritization.

When to Use

Pitching a solution approach to stakeholders for buy-in
Aligning cross-functional teams on what you're building and why
Documenting solution intent before detailed PRD writing
Comparing multiple solution options at a high level
Communicating product direction to leadership

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
