Qualify the Request
👨💼 The product is live now, people are actively using it, and feature requests
are starting to arrive from real usage. This time, the proposal is to add
participant accounts and login so returning users can find their schedules
again without relying on saved links.
Before anyone starts implementing that, qualify whether this request is
actually worth shipping in the current product stage.
Start by reviewing the planning artifacts you created in
docs/planning.🐨 Create a dedicated
artifact for this
request:
"Add participant accounts and login so returning users can find their schedules again without relying on saved links."
Your brief should cover:
- The real user problem behind the request
- What evidence you have versus what is still assumption or momentum
- Why this might or might not be worth shipping now
- Smaller alternatives that could solve the same problem with less complexity
- What existing product quality or cleanup should happen first, if any
- A recommendation: ship, narrow, defer, or reject
- The minimal success definition if some version of the request proceeds later
Requirements:
- Keep the analysis grounded in the app's stated goals: finalized-plan rate, low friction, and trustworthy repeat usage.
- Consider how accounts would affect the create, respond, and host-management flows.
- Call out missing evidence and open questions explicitly.
- If you think some version should proceed, define the smallest version worth shipping.
💰 Treat this like a real post-launch product decision. The question is not just
"do users want this?" It is whether this is the right response to the problem
the current product is actually showing you.
