How builders ship the right thing.
Real inputs, real specs, real hand-offs. Each example is a complete flow — pick a workflow or a role and see what comes out the other side.
Catch the experience gaps in a spec before build
The happy path is in the spec. The empty state, the error, the slow connection, the screen-reader user — usually aren't. Review the spec from the experience side and add the states a coding agent will otherwise invent badly.
Decide what the team builds next — without a roadmap meeting
The biweekly roadmap meeting re-derives the state of everything from memory. The Build Queue shows it on one board — what's blocked, what's on the critical path, what's verified — so the next-build call is made on what's actually true.
Turn a design rationale into outcomes engineers can verify
The reasoning behind the design is the part that gets lost in handoff — and it's the part that keeps an agent from 'improving' your decisions into mush. Convert the why behind the pixels into outcomes with verification criteria.
Sequence the build queue so agents work in the right order
A pile of ready specs isn't a plan. The Build Queue flags which specs block others and which sit on the critical path — so you build the foundations first and an agent picking up the next item never waits on something that isn't built yet.
Turn a usability test into a spec the team can build
Five sessions, a pile of clips, and a sinking feeling that it'll all live in a deck nobody opens. Capture the observations in Pathmode and walk out with a spec whose outcomes name the exact moments users struggled, and who judged that they count.
Find the friction pattern across 5 user interviews
Five interviews, five different stories, one pattern underneath. Capture the transcripts as signals, judge them one at a time, and the pattern shows up as the claim several independent sources back.
