- Key outcomes we want to enable
- How this connects to broader strategy
3. Assumptions
What are we assuming to be true? Include:

- Business assumptions
- How we'll validate these assumptions
4. Success Criteria
How will we know if we've succeeded? Include:
- Quantitative metrics (with targets)
- Qualitative signals

5. Constraints
What limitations must we work within? Include:
- Technical constraints
- Timeline constraints
- Resource constraints
- Business or legal requirements
6. Out of Scope (MVP)
