Acceptance criteria sheet
Hand a developer or agency a story with its definition of done written down: testable expected behaviours, error cases and edge cases, each traced to a rule or design state, with the unclear terms and open questions listed for the product owner.
Ad to page check
When a campaign's landing page is ready for a prelaunch check, the acquisition owner gets a findings list that sets each ad beside the captured page: message, offer details, form and next step, on mobile and desktop. Page states nobody captured are marked unknown.
Assumption map
For a product owner whose plan rests on beliefs nobody has tested: each belief is written down, set against the evidence you hold, ranked by what it would do to the plan, and given a cheap test to choose from. You decide what to test; no evidence is invented.
Business continuity plan
For an owner or operations manager: the activities the business cannot stop for long, how long each can be down and how much data it can lose, what each depends on, the fallback for each, and named owners, deputies, contacts and a test date, ready for a competent reviewer and the owner's approval.
Business model assumptions review
Before you commit money to a new or revised business model, see it block by block with every claim marked evidenced or assumed, the riskiest assumptions ranked, and the cheapest test for each. You choose what to test; no projection or valuation is made.
Cloud spend variance bridge
When cloud or tooling costs move away from budget, the finance lead and the engineering manager get a bridge from budget to actual by service and cost owner, with usage beside each large move, the unallocated and shared costs, and the questions each side must answer.
Component inventory audit
When patterns come up for review, the design-system owner gets an inventory built from the library export and its documentation: every component with its naming, token and state gaps, and the pairs that may overlap. Nothing is merged on appearance; the owner decides.
Component specification
When an approved reusable component needs documenting, the design-system owner gets one specification of its variants, states, usage rules and accessibility notes, set beside the existing patterns, with every gap or clash written as a choice for the owner.
Current experience baseline
Before a redesign, the design lead gets a baseline built from the captures and page list they supply: each page read with its content and design observations, the patterns that recur, and the pages outside the evidence. The lead confirms the baseline and sets the scope.
Customer feedback themes
Each month your support lead sees what customers keep telling you: tickets, disputes, reviews and survey comments grouped into themes with counts and quotations, the three issues most worth fixing with a proposed fix and owner, and a note for customers once a fix ships. A person decides every fix.
Customer interview synthesis
Turn a stack of customer call notes into the answer to one question, in your customers’ own words. Every quotation is cited to the note it came from, every theme shows its confidence and the evidence against it, and nothing is claimed that the notes do not say.
Design handoff record
Before engineering starts, the design owner gets one record built from the approved design: every state, token, breakpoint and content rule either covered or flagged, with each unstated behaviour written as a question. The engineer confirms the questions are resolved.
Employee offboarding and handover checklist
When someone leaves, your HR lead and their manager share one checklist: every piece of their work handed to a named colleague before the last day, every system on your access register removed by its owner at a set time, and every item of equipment back. Nothing is removed or sent without a person.
Feedback follow-through updates
When a change ships or a decision lands on something customers asked for, your account owner gets the list of who asked, the confirmed status of each request, and an individual draft update for each person in the channel they prefer. No update promises a date or feature the team has not confirmed.
Journey accessibility findings
When a user journey is ready for accessibility review, the reviewer gets a finding list: each finding with its task impact and evidence, the manual checks still required and the limits of the review. The reviewer verifies every finding and agrees fixes with the design owner.
Lead form field review
When a client questions a long inquiry form or abandoned submissions, the conversion lead gets a field-by-field review: what each field is used for downstream, where people leave, and proposed labels, error messages and test questions. The lead and the client's data owner decide every change.
Learning system access review
At term end or after staff change roles, the system owner lays the learning system's user and access exports beside current staff, class assignments and the approved role matrix. Departed users, changed roles and dormant accounts come back as questions for the data owners. Nothing is changed.
Online class setup packet
The learning-platform administrator receives one complete request for an approved class: course name, section, room, responsible teacher, the people who can be invited and every roster exception, drawn from the approved details and the roster export.
Pilot acceptance-test preparation
Go into every AI pilot with the test already written: the cases that matter, what good looks like for each and the rule your owner will use to decide.
Product pricing options
A product owner weighing how to price or package a product gets one options brief: what each customer group uses, the willingness-to-pay evidence held with stated kept apart from observed, what each option would bill every account, the uncertainties and the tests. It recommends no price.
Product sample feedback revision list
After each round of samples, your product lead gets one revision list by sample version and feature: the changes people agree on, the feedback that conflicts, and drafted notes for the next supplier brief. The product owner decides.
Release notes draft
The product owner gets draft release notes for one shipped release, in words users recognize: what is new, changed, removed and fixed, the steps users must take, and the known limitations. Only what was supplied is described. The owner checks and publishes.
Roadmap tradeoff review
When a new priority arrives, the product owner sees what the roadmap would have to give up to hold it: the capacity gap by team, the work that could move, the commitments and dependencies that move with it, and the questions still open. The owner decides.
Smallest useful release scope
A product owner or founder with more features than capacity gets one page: what is in the first release and what is deferred, all tied to one user outcome, with the reason for each cut. The owner decides the scope; no effort is estimated beyond what is supplied.
