PRD Generation
Structured PRDs drafted from Slack threads, tickets, and interview notes - every section anchored to source, priority pills attached, and a 4-step sign-off ladder routed automatically. PM walks into review with a defensible draft, not a blank doc.
What the managed workflow does
Pulls every research artifact
Customer interview transcripts, Linear tickets, in-product feedback, Slack threads, and prototype QC notes - every artifact tagged to the relevant section before drafting starts.
Drafts in your voice
6-section PRD assembled from your house template (Problem · Users · Solution · Metrics · Non-goals · Open questions) with paragraphs drafted in your team's editorial tone - not a formulaic PRD-bot output.
Sources every paragraph
Each section carries a margin-note source-pill - `from interview-12 · prio:high`, `from ticket SUP-441` - so reviewers can verify the claim is anchored to evidence, not inferred.
Routes the sign-off ladder
PM Lead → Eng Lead → Design Lead → Exec Sponsor - each gate triggers automatically with SLA tracking, and the doc state reflects who's reviewed and who's queued.

Inputs synthesized
What lands per draft
Inputs synthesized
Customer interviews. Transcripts pulled from your research store with JTBD tagging - surfaced into Problem and Users sections automatically.
Tickets + feedback. Linear tickets and in-product feedback tagged 'request' or 'bug' anchor the Problem statement and feed Open Questions.
Slack threads. Channels tagged for product discussion are pulled with thread coherence preserved - 7-message threads land as a single citable artifact.
Prototype QC. Usability test findings + heuristic notes tied to the prototype attach to the Solution section as design rationale.
What lands per draft
6-section PRD. Problem · Users + JTBD · Solution + scope · Success metrics · Non-goals + cuts · Open questions - drafted in your voice, ready for review.
Source-pills per paragraph. Margin annotations tying each claim to its research artifact - reviewer can click through to verify.
Priority pills. High · medium · low markers per section - based on driver evidence intensity, not PM gut.
Sign-off ladder. PM → Eng → Design → Exec with SLA tracking and automatic escalation when an approval stalls past its window.
What you get, every week
PRDs that get reviewed faster
Drafted from research, sourced per paragraph, structured to your template - review time drops because the reviewer can verify, not interrogate.
Defensible specs
Every claim anchored to evidence. When eng pushes back on scope, the rationale is one click away from the section - not buried in a Slack thread.
An audit trail per spec
Every approval, every source citation, every priority change logged with rationale - so when leadership asks why a feature shipped, the answer is the PRD itself.
