THE PUBLISHER
Awesome Patel
Independent publisher in Chicago · Well Made Ideas
Well Made Ideas starts with the agreement a project needs before anyone can judge its result. Published by Awesome Patel in Chicago, it helps readers connect a user goal to explicit constraints, starting conditions and observable outcomes. Its Acceptance Criteria Builder keeps those parts together in one working brief.
Readers can describe expected behavior, failure cases and boundaries, then export the brief as Markdown or JSON. The guides and blank worksheets support the same method away from the browser tool. Their reading-list scenarios are fictional proposals, with assumptions kept separate from evidence, so a completed brief provides a clear basis for implementation and review.
Selected work from Well Made Ideas
A structural rubric for fictional project briefs
Runs eight disclosed checks across six deliberately varied fictional briefs, with raw JSON and CSV, a generated chart, method, limitations, version history and a citation record.
Acceptance Criteria Builder
Collect a goal, actor, constraints and cases, preview Given/When/Then descriptions, and download a Markdown or JSON brief. Required-field checks help complete the prose draft for review with the people implementing and testing it.
Make the outcome something you can observe
Compare a vague, specific and empty outcome using the builder’s fictional reading-list example. See the recorded validation and export results, including why a valid draft still carries draft-not-tested status.
Check the boundaries of a promise
Locate the rule behind a boundary, choose meaningful failure cases and record what remains untested. The worksheet uses fictional limits to show how to select cases and explain why each one matters.
