[Product Name] — Product Specification

This is the general, company-level product specification template — lighter than the detailed, workbook-specific template used by Digital Products for its own products. It should satisfy ../docs/standards/product-specification-standard.md. Ventures with more specialized needs (e.g. Digital Products) may use or extend a richer venture-specific template instead, as long as it remains at least as rigorous as this one.

1. Overview

[Summary of the product, linking back to product-brief.md.]

2. Users and use cases

[Who uses this, and the primary use cases it must support.]

3. Functional scope

[What the product does. Reference feature-inventory.md if a separate one exists, or list features directly here for a smaller product.]

4. Non-functional requirements

[Performance, reliability, security/privacy, accessibility, compatibility — whatever applies. Do not assert compatibility or performance claims that haven't been tested; mark untested claims explicitly.]

5. Constraints and dependencies

[Technical, legal, or business constraints; dependencies on other products/components.]

6. Data

[Reference a data-dictionary-template.md-based document if the product has non-trivial data entities.]

7. Calculations (if applicable)

[Reference a calculation-specification-template.md-based document for any non-trivial calculation logic.]

8. Acceptance criteria

[Reference acceptance-criteria.md or embed directly if small.]

9. Open questions / risks

  • [Item 1]

10. Review status

[Has this specification been through ../prompts/specification-review.md? Record outcome and date here once it has.]
