How the brief is checked

  • The brief is built directly from your answers: each section states what you entered, in plain sentences, with "Not answered yet" where a field is empty.
  • Completeness counts 12 fields across 7 sections. Constraints is not counted toward the percentage, because a genuinely empty answer there is not a missing one, though it still appears under what a partner will ask.
  • A choice such as "Not decided yet" or "Not yet" counts as answered for the percentage, but it is still listed under what a partner will ask, because it flags a decision still to make.
  • 85% and above reads as ready to send. 55% to 84% is close, with a few gaps to fill. Below that, start with the sections that are still empty.
  • The structure follows our guide to writing a requirements brief a development partner can use, shortened into a first draft any partner could scope from.
