why this works:

• showing > telling
• functional demos unlock clarity faster than prds or decks
• derisks ideas before investment of eng resources
• eliminates weeks of back-and-forth

step 2: jump straight into building

• feed project brief to codegen tools (v0 / Replit / Lovable / Bolt)
• build working demo / proof of concept (~30 mins)
• focus on exploring what's possible vs making it perfect
• swap to Cursor or Windsurf for larger codebases

step 1: research -> requirements

• capture voice notes with Superwhisper or talk through problems with ChatGPT
• record meeting transcripts with Granola
• feed notes + transcripts into a Claude project
• ask ai to extract key points + requirements and draft a project brief
