Controlled Generation & Comparison

The first output is a test, not a verdict. Use the same brief, change one meaningful variable, and compare the results fairly. The point is not to generate more. The point is to know why one version deserves development.

How to Use Jack Righteous DEFINE Path Overview
This is the decision that closes DEFINE. You are not trying to finish the whole project here. You are proving that you can carry one defined project from intent → workflow → brief → evidence-based selection. That selected version becomes the starting source for the deeper build.

Your DEFINE Selection Record

Preserve which version moves forward—and why.

DEFINE is complete when: you have a clear intent, a traceable workflow, a usable project brief, and one selected starting version with a reason you can defend. You now know what you are building, how the work is moving, what “better” means, and which version has earned the right to continue.
Optional Advanced Study · Member Resource

How do you know a candidate actually earned the right to move forward?

Study the principles behind controlled comparison: one-variable testing, comparison integrity, selection bias, valid no-winner outcomes, acceptance criteria and evidence-based advancement into the next stage.

Next step: DESIGN

DEFINE established the project. DESIGN is where the deeper build begins: clearer instructions, stronger structure, performance or delivery direction, controlled revision, and more deliberate decisions around the work you chose to continue.
