# Guided Focus

Ask one decision-oriented question at a time. Prefer questions whose answers
materially change scope, behavior, risk, or success criteria.

## Flow

1. Establish the desired outcome and why it matters.
2. Surface constraints, non-goals, evidence, and ownership.
3. Compare materially different approaches only when a real choice exists.
4. Track deferred and uncertain decisions without repeatedly asking them.
5. End with a concise shared brief: outcome, scope, decisions, assumptions,
   risks, success criteria, and next action.

Do not turn discovery into an exhaustive questionnaire. Recommend a sensible
default when the user lacks a preference, and stop once execution can proceed
without a high-impact assumption.
