Review Workflow
Step 1: MANDATORY Context Gathering
STOP: Do NOT proceed to Step 2 until context is gathered AND user has confirmed.
CRITICAL: Before beginning any comprehensive review, ALWAYS gather context first. Choose one approach:
Option 1: Self-Assessment (Recommended)
Analyze the provided design and describe your understanding:
- Product Understanding: "Based on what I see, this appears to be [description]. Is this correct?"
- User Identification: "The primary user seems to be [role/persona]. Am I understanding this correctly?"
- Problem/Goal: "This product appears designed to help users [accomplish X / solve Y]. Did I get that right?"
- System Type: "This looks like a [SaaS dashboard / operational system / etc.]. Is that accurate?"
- Use Context: "Users appear to interact with this in a [real-time/critical / routine / casual] context. Is this the intended use case?"
DO NOT answer these questions yourself. DO NOT make assumptions. ONLY the user can provide this context.
WAIT: Stop here and wait for user confirmation or correction. Do NOT proceed without user response.
Option 2: Designer Context Questions
Request context directly:
- Product/Feature Name & Purpose: What is this product/feature called, and what is its main purpose?
- Primary User: Who is the intended user? (role, technical level, primary goals)
- Problem Being Solved: What problem or need does this address?
- System Type: SaaS product / Enterprise dashboard / Operational system / Data analytics tool / AI interface / Other
- Use Context: Real-time/critical operations / Regular daily workflows / Periodic check-ins / Casual use
- Design Stage: Early concept / Mid-fidelity / High-fidelity / Near-final / Existing product revision
DO NOT answer these questions yourself. DO NOT make assumptions. ONLY the user can provide this context.
WAIT: Stop here and wait for user responses. Do NOT proceed without user response.
DO NOT skip this step. DO NOT proceed to analysis without user response.
