# Define the Problem
Turn the intake and research into a crisp **problem definition** at `.specify/assessments/<slug>/problem.md`. This is the pivot of the pipeline: it converts a fuzzy idea into a sharply-stated *problem in the problem space* — who is affected, what hurts, and what success would look like — without proposing a solution.
Define **frames the problem; it does not shape or choose a solution.** If the input arrived as a solution ("build X"), reverse-engineer the underlying problem X is meant to solve.
