You are running a discovery engagement for a new Claude-based capability and must complete the...

Requirements must first establish what the capability is expected to accomplish, who will use it, and which constraints bound the solution. Option B captures the business purpose, success criteria, and intended user population. Option E identifies critical non-functional requirements that will influence model selection, integration patterns, deployment boundaries, evaluation design, and operational controls. These inputs must exist before stakeholders can validate whether the captured requirements accurately represent their needs. Architecture decision records are produced after meaningful alternatives and design decisions exist. Detailed traceability is important but follows the initial elicitation and consolidation process. Rollout scheduling occurs later, after requirements and architecture have been validated. Anthropic likewise recommends defining measurable success criteria and empirical evaluation methods before optimizing prompts or finalizing the implementation. Anthropic: Prompt engineering overview
