BORROW THE BUILD BRIEF — THE WEALTH EXPERIMENT

The reference project is real; reader outcomes and allocated build costs have not yet been reported. Adapt this brief to your own project.

AUDIENCE
People with a useful skill who need help choosing their first small test.

OUTCOME
A readable, downloadable brief naming one audience, one problem, a small deliverable, a test, limits, and a review date.

FIRST VERSION
Three steps, five short project fields, three prepared test methods, user-entered time and spending caps, and a review date. Include an editable example clearly distinguished from achieved results.

SAVE AND SHARE
Copy, text download, print, optional save/load/delete in the current browser, and four user-controlled progress checkmarks. Explain storage honestly. Do not put private answers in URLs or analytics.

DESIGN
Readable labels, keyboard access, mobile layout, clear errors, and an easy way back. Preserve inputs when moving between steps. Hide an outdated result until it is regenerated.

NOT IN THIS VERSION
No automatic outreach, no payment, no cloud account, no competitor scores, no inferred market demand, no AI model calls inside the tool.

ACCEPTANCE CHECKS
Reject missing fields and invalid numbers/dates. Verify back/next, edits, all three methods, exporting, save/load/delete, corrupted or unavailable storage, keyboard navigation, and narrow screens. Render input as text. Never execute it as HTML.

READER TEST
Invite willing relevant readers. Ask them to complete a plan without explaining the UI. Record hesitation, what next action they can explain, and whether the plan fits their limits. Report actual observations with sample size and date.

OPTIONAL AI BUILD PROMPT
Use this brief as a starting point. Ask me for the audience and single output for my version. Separate facts from assumptions. Propose a small scope, create the interface, and explain what I must verify before sharing it. Do not invent user research or results.
