Write what finished means

WhenWhen a piece keeps growing.

Write one observable condition that would make this piece usable for its purpose. Keep polishing outside that condition on a separate later list.

Why it works

Give this piece an edge you can reach.

Start tiny

Name one thing the finished piece must do.

What you’ll notice

You have a concrete place to finish.

When it slips

If the condition is vague, name who will use the piece and what they need from it.
