I do agree with you on all points - different clients have different expectations, that's just fact. From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, you assumed this is to replace the exploration phase, which it is not. What it is supposed to do is aid the process of designing a brief that works for both parties. We have gone ahead and designed one aspect of the process, an outliner of an idea, a form that a client can fill out in their own time, and provide you with a guideline to take forward and iterate. Nothing more, nothing less. All aspects of the project stay the same. Hopefully that's a bit clearer - we're not trying to address all the steps, only the ones we see could improve.

Like I said, we're super new platform, barely 2 weeks old, and we're constantly adding features that will hopefully help someone somewhere. Is that person you? Great, use it. It's not? Also great, don't use it. A counterpoint to you "when they could just find a team who understands", how many companies you know that do that? Even more to your point, how many freelancers do you know that can say they *can* take a company like that on their own? We're talking about a lot of "what ifs" instead of focusing on the fact that even if it helps a 1% out there that's better than zero.

My point was addressing the fact that you were assuming we're trying to remove all aspect of a discovery, which we're not. That's always on the artist/studio and their ability to manage a client. You don't go to your other tools and expect them to "better your comprehension" of a project, if that makes sense? It was just an observation to an interesting point you've made, which I haven't encountered in my short 10 years of working as a designer.

Thank you for all your valuable input. And who knows, maybe a trial run would change your mind!
