Separates intent from accumulated features.
The Case Room does not assume every current feature belongs in the first release.
From messy explanation to locked recovery direction.
The workflow is deliberately gated: understand the product, force the missing decisions, confirm the first trustworthy version, price the bounded recovery, then hand off the implementation package.
What Driftbreak does before it writes the package
It is not trying to make your idea sound better. It is trying to make the product true enough that a coding agent can stop drifting.
Catches hidden product shape.
A small MVP may actually contain multiple actors, permissions, ledgers, or marketplaces.
Locks authority.
Driftbreak exposes which records, decisions, and workflows need authority, then locks the builder-confirmed source of truth before implementation begins.
Preserve, replace, defer.
Useful pieces stay visible, broken authority gets replaced, and future lanes stop poisoning the current build.
How Driftbreak moves from intent to handoff
Describe the app, the drift, and what you were trying to build. No card required.
Driftbreak reconstructs intent, catches contradictions, and locks the builder-confirmed product direction.
Pay only after the recovery boundary and implementation handoff are clear.
A 30-90 minute backend run generates the architecture, blueprint, adaptive campaign, and AI implementation sessions.
Receive the five-file recovery and implementation package.
Hand the package to Codex, Cursor, Claude, or a developer with a stable operating boundary.
What the gates prevent
Paying before the case is understood.
The intake and locked case summary are free. Quote authority appears only after the buyer confirms the case read.
Running from vague intent.
Open questions, contradictions, and evidence limits stay visible instead of being smoothed over.
