Auteur tools · Free and ungated

Turn product judgment into working evidence.

Choose one consequential workflow. Define it, trace it, evaluate it, prove its readiness, and record the decision to release—or stop.

The operating toolkit

One artifact for each product decision.

Each tool works in your browser without an account. Save explicitly on your device, copy or download Markdown, then move the result into the source of truth your team already governs.

01 · Frame

Direction Brief

Define the user, decision, evidence, AI role, first-release boundary, evaluation plan, and accountable next action.

Output: one canonical product direction → 02 · Direct

Feature Traceability Matrix

Trace one scenario through every product and system layer, its contracts, owners, risks, tests, and next gate.

Output: one inspectable vertical feature row → 03 · Verify AI behavior

AI Evaluation Contract

Make the dataset, baseline, rubric, thresholds, unacceptable failures, versions, and go/no-go rule explicit.

Output: a repeatable evaluation agreement → 04 · Prove readiness

Evidence and Readiness Ledger

Advance a feature only when named evidence supports its next state. Keep blockers and residual risk visible.

Output: an evidence-backed readiness state → 05 · Decide

Release Decision Record

Record scope, approvals, remaining risk, rollout limits, monitoring, rollback, activation authority, and the decision.

Output: go, conditional go, hold, or stop → Completed example

Grounded SaaS Feature Packet

See how one Vivid Resume recommendation workflow connects decisions, layers, evaluation, evidence, and release state.

Use it yourself—or bring the packet into a decision session.

The tools are useful without Gabriel. If the core decision is still unclear, the same artifacts become the working surface for a Direction Sprint.

Self-directed

Start with one decision.

Complete the Direction Brief, choose the closest playbook, and add System Integrity only when consequence requires it.
