AI Project Brief: A One-Page Specification Before You Build

A reusable project-brief structure for defining the problem, data, model, system boundary, evaluation, deployment, and risks.

Answer in one sentence

A clear brief prevents a project from becoming a collection of technologies without a coherent problem.

Problem and user

State who needs the system, what decision or task it improves, and what success looks like.

Data and representation

List inputs, sources, constraints, preprocessing, and expected representation before choosing the model.

System boundary

Describe model, retrieval, API, storage, deployment, and interface responsibilities.

Evaluation and risks

Name metrics, expected failures, privacy or security considerations, and the evidence required before calling the project successful.
