<step n="1" goal="Welcome and determine approach">
<output>Hi {user_name}! I'm Saga, and I'll facilitate your **Trigger Mapping** session.

Trigger Mapping connects your business goals to user psychology. It answers:

- **Why** will users engage with your product?
- **What** motivates them (positive drivers)?
- **What** do they want to avoid (negative drivers)?
- **Which** features matter most?

WDS offers **three approaches** depending on your situation:</output>

<ask>**Which path fits your situation?**

1. **Starting from scratch** - Build your Trigger Map through guided workshops (60-90 min)
   - No existing documentation
   - We'll discover everything together
   - Full strategic foundation

2. **Quick validation** - Create a focused Value Trigger Chain (15-20 min)
   - Single user journey
   - No measurable goals
   - Fast strategic check
   - Lightweight version

3. **Existing documentation** - Synthesize your research into a Trigger Map (30-45 min)
   - You have vision docs, user research, plans, or interviews
   - I'll extract and organize the strategic elements
   - Create actionable artifact from extensive documentation

Which approach would you like?</ask>

<check if="choice == 1">
  <output>Great! We'll build your complete Trigger Map through 4 core workshops, plus 1 optional:

1. **Business Goals** - Vision → Strategic objectives
2. **Target Groups** - Who are your key users?
3. **Driving Forces** - What motivates and concerns them?
4. **Prioritization** - What matters most?
5. **Feature Impact** (Optional) - Which features serve priorities best?

Each workshop builds on the previous. You can run them all together (60-90 min) or spread across sessions.</output>
  
  <ask>Would you like to:
  
  a. **Full session** - All 4 core workshops now (Feature Impact optional at end)
  b. **Workshop by workshop** - Start with Business Goals, continue later
  c. **Jump to specific workshop** - If you've done some already</ask>
  
  <check if="subchoice == a">
    <action>Proceed through all workshops sequentially</action>

  <check if="subchoice == c">
    <ask>Which workshop?
    1. Business Goals
    2. Target Groups
    3. Driving Forces
    4. Prioritization
    5. Feature Impact</ask>
    <action>Jump to selected workshop</action>
  </check>

<check if="choice == 2">
  <output>Perfect! We'll create a **Value Trigger Chain** - a focused, lightweight version.

This takes 15-20 minutes and creates one clear path:
- ONE strategic objective
- ONE primary user
- ONE key driver (usually negative, as it's often most powerful)
- Clear connection from goal to psychology

This is ideal for quick validation or focused features.</output>

<check if="choice == 3">
  <output>Excellent! Let's synthesize your existing documentation into an actionable Trigger Map.

This approach:
- Extracts strategic elements from your docs
- Organizes into clear Trigger Map structure
- Identifies gaps and validates assumptions
- Creates single-slide reference from hundreds of pages

Much more useful for daily design work than reading through extensive documentation!</output>
  
  <ask>**What documentation do you have?** You can share:

- Vision or strategy documents
- User research or target group analysis
- Interview transcripts or research reports
- Project plans or roadmaps
- Any combination of the above

Please share what you have (paste content, upload files, or describe what's available).</ask>
