method candidate goes to: this-edition V villager
The brief is the unit of work, and writing it as an article forces the research
A written request an agent can start from: what is asked, what exists, what remains, what done looks like; an article beats a list because it makes you check the record first.
Decided by. Nobody yet: a candidate for Dinis to read, comment on and decide (keep, rewrite, merge, cut, article first, later, not doing it).
Where it comes from
- Write it as an article Why an article; How an article becomes work (article)
- The briefs so far the brief (newsroom)
- Brief the agent too the people I talk to work with agents (newsroom)
What it answers in the 2018 book
- Design answered outline, Concepts
Where it goes
