Describe the stuck process, not a list of features

A useful first brief explains what happens today, where it breaks down, and what a customer or staff member should be able to do instead.

Start with one real example

Walk through the last order, enquiry, approval, service request, booking, claim, or report that caused trouble. Where did information arrive? Who copied it? What did they have to check? Where did the customer wait? Which step depended on somebody remembering what to do?

Include the operating context

Define a result people can recognise

“Make it efficient” is difficult to test. A clearer result might be: customers can see job status without calling; an approved order reaches accounting without re-keying; staff can find the current document; a failed payment creates a visible follow-up; or a manager can see which requests are waiting and why.

Decide who can say yes

Name the person who approves scope, content, access, privacy and security decisions, and the final release. If an Australian adviser must confirm tax, legal, accessibility, or regulated-industry requirements, identify that dependency early rather than discovering it during launch.

Do not send passwords, API keys, private records, regulated data, production exports, or confidential credentials in the first message.
