Generates a complete PRD document that engineering can act on, with acceptance criteria and scope boundaries
Captures the 'why' behind decisions so future team members understand strategic context
Provides a standard template covering problem, users, solution, metrics, dependencies, and out-of-scope items

Organizes scattered feature requests and ideas into a cohesive strategic plan
Helps you prioritize initiatives based on customer impact, business goals, and effort
Defines clear success metrics and hypotheses for each initiative
Sequences work across quarters with logical dependencies
Creates a stakeholder-ready roadmap presentation with strategic narrative
