Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates interactive questioning to elicit project goals, intent, and context.
  • Tracks lifecycle state and checkpoints to support resume and archival flows.
  • Produces structured question plans with DAs, questions, readiness criteria, and evidence requirements for downstream work.

Quick Start

Describe your project goal and intent to initialize a new Expedite lifecycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure project planning questions and evidence requirements before execution?▼

To structure project planning questions, you declare a lifecycle goal and intent to generate a question plan with decision areas, readiness criteria, and evidence requirements for downstream execution.

What is a question plan and how does it guide the project lifecycle?▼

A question plan is a structured contract mapping decision areas to specific questions, readiness criteria, and evidence requirements, guiding downstream research, design, planning, and execution phases.

Can I pause lifecycle planning and resume it later without losing context?▼

Yes, you can pause lifecycle planning and resume later. The system tracks lifecycle state and checkpoints to support resume and archival flows for in-progress work.

What's the best way to define decision areas and readiness criteria for research?▼

The best way to define decision areas and readiness criteria is through an interactive questioning flow that elicits project goals and intent, producing a contract-driven plan from scope to execute.

Do I need to define a lifecycle goal before generating an evidence requirements plan?▼

Yes, you need to define a lifecycle goal and declare intent before generating an evidence requirements plan. This initializes an Expedite lifecycle and establishes the baseline for downstream work.
