Transforms the Platform Requirements steps from a technology shopping
list into a complete build specification that a coding agent can
execute autonomously.
New steps:
- 28a: Data Model — complete database schema (every table, column, type,
default, constraint, relationship, index, release phase tags)
- 28b: State Machines — every stateful entity gets states, transitions,
triggers, per-phase action differences, feature gate pattern
- 28c: Business Logic, Events & API — calculations as pseudocode,
event system (scheduled/webhook/user), notification rules, complete
API surface with request/response shapes, auth spec, AI integration
Updated steps:
- 28: Tech Stack now includes architecture pattern and API style
- 32: Finalization now includes the Litmus Test — "Can a coding agent
build the entire platform from this document alone?"
Inspired by RightsTrak session where Saga produced a tech selection
document and Mårten had to push four times to get a build spec.
The 200-line tech list became a 700-line actionable specification.
