FDE-02 · Outcome framing and technical scoping

Turn an ambiguous mission into a falsifiable outcome contract and sequence the smallest safe wedge that can reach production-shaped evidence.

Elaboration
Defines the user, decision, baseline, target condition, guardrails, and evidence window. Chooses agentic or deterministic methods from workflow characteristics rather than fashion. Negotiates scope, speed, quality, and risk tradeoffs explicitly with decision owners. Maintains an assumptions and kill-criteria register as evidence changes.
