Chicago profile · Clear briefs and checkable outcomes
Well Made Ideas starts with the agreement a project needs before anyone judges a result: a user goal, explicit constraints, and outcomes someone can observe.
Chicago is where the Acceptance Criteria Builder and its guides are maintained. The builder keeps a goal, its boundaries, and its examples in one place a reviewer can check.
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.
