Use cases
One session. Six people at the table.
One feature, six rooms: each at the moment that matters to that person, with one thing to click.
Product owners
Product owners turn a rough idea into a ticket engineering can start.
Paste what you know. The first AI review shows what is missing, and every proposal waits for a person to approve it.
Select a vague criterion and ask for a testable one. Approve the wording your team can verify.
Pair a new device from the app
Summary
Users add a new device from the mobile app. The app finds the device, connects it to Wi-Fi and registers it to the user’s account.
Acceptance Criteria
- Pairing starts from the Devices tab.
- The app finds nearby devices within 30 seconds.
The feature must be verified on supported environments.
LE Leo asks Scopeleaf AI
Add to Acceptance Criteria that testing must happen on a physical device, not only a simulator.
Product managers
Product managers answer the questions before engineers have to ask them.
GrillMe reads the draft and interviews the team in rounds: offline states, ownership, regions, the measure of success.
One question at a time. One operator answers for the team while everyone follows live, and a big question breaks down into the ones under it.
Pair a new device from the app
Summary
Users add a new device from the mobile app. The app finds the device, connects it to Wi-Fi and registers it to the user’s account.
Acceptance Criteria
- Pairing starts from the Devices tab.
- The app finds nearby devices within 30 seconds.
- The feature must be tested on a supported physical device. Simulator-only validation is not sufficient.
Architects
Architects see the system around the feature while the scope is still cheap to change.
The questions surface what product prose hides: the API another team is rewriting, the region call that comes first, the flow that already exists.
Each one lands in the document as a dependency beside the outcome, where engineering reads it, not in a thread nobody opens twice.

Summary
Users add a new device from the mobile app. The app finds the device, connects it to Wi-Fi and registers it to the user’s account.
Dependencies
- Device Registration API
- Region service
- “Add accessory” flow
- Push notifications
Scrum masters
Scrum masters run a refinement that ends with decisions.
Every conclusion from the interview arrives as a precise change to the ticket: approve, edit or reject it in front of the team.
Decided and open stay separate. The team marks the ticket ready, exports it and closes the session.

Acceptance Criteria
- Pairing starts from the Devices tab.
- The app finds nearby devices within 30 seconds.
Stakeholders
Stakeholders click the feature before anyone builds it.
A prototype built from the document, shared behind a password link. Whoever asked for the feature opens it without an account.
One note on one screen changes one requirement, and the team sees the change in the same document.

Acceptance Criteria
- Pairing starts from the Devices tab.
When the device is unavailable, the user can retry.

Engineering
Engineering should not be the place where we first discover what the feature means.
Developers and their coding agents start from a feature that has answered its questions: context, criteria, edge cases, dependencies, a prototype, and the open questions named.
It goes where the work is tracked: Jira, Confluence, Google Docs, Google Drive, Markdown or HTML.
Pair a new device from the app
- Why are we doing this?A third of new devices are returned unused; most returns say setup failed.
- User problemSetup fails halfway, and there is no way back in.
- ContextThe Devices tab. EU and US at launch.
- Proposed behaviourIf the device drops, finish setup later.
- PrototypeFour screens, with Sam’s note applied.
- Acceptance CriteriaTested on a physical device, not only a simulator.
- Edge casesThree failed reconnects: offer support.
- DependenciesDevice Registration API v2, Platform team.
