Product Requirements.

Status — Draft. The v1 feature freeze packet is prepared on 2026-05-20 and ready for approval. The PRD as a whole stays in draft until that signature lands and the named approvers are filled in.

The Product Requirements Document for Ochre & Soul. It captures user problems, success criteria, scope, user stories, acceptance criteria, and prioritisation that translate the Stack Specification into product-facing delivery decisions, and holds the v1 selection and the formal feature freeze.

Chapters at a glance

• §01 — Product Brief. Execution-facing translation of the stack specification: business objective, segments, value proposition, risks, dependencies, success metrics, and the UI/Hybrid kickoff fields.
• §02 — Feature Specification. Candidate feature catalogue with FEAT-* IDs, release lanes (MVP / Post-v1 / Roadmap), dependencies, technical constraints, and high-level acceptance criteria — plus the supporting-infrastructure dependencies the user-facing features depend on.
• §03 — User Journey Flows. Primary, alternate, and failure journeys across the product surfaces, with edge cases, roadmap candidates, feature traceability, and reserved UI IDs.
• §04 — V1 Feature Set Selection. The v1 scope selection: in-scope set (53 user-facing + 14 supporting infrastructure), required gates, out-of-scope items, trade-off analysis, and the freeze baseline.
• §05 — Feature Freeze. The formal v1 scope lock, the approver list and threshold, the frozen scope reference, and the Six-Dimension Change Exception process for post-freeze changes.

How to use this doc

§01 sets context. §02 and §03 are the canonical feature catalogue and user-journey records. §04 selects the v1 scope from §02 using the §03 journeys and the architecture decisions. §05 locks the §04 selection. After freeze, every scope change runs through the Six-Dimension Change Exception process in §5.5 of the freeze packet.
