# CRISP — The Mileva Method

A BA/PM framework for AI implementors. Guides you through structured discovery, outcome alignment, process mapping, and implementation readiness — before a single line of code is written.

## The 5 phases

| Phase | Name | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| C | Clarify — Problem definition | `skills/phase1-clarify/` |
| R | Results — Outcome alignment | `skills/phase2-results/` |
| I | Investigate — Process mapping | `skills/phase3-investigate/` |
| S | Spec — Build ready | `skills/phase4-spec/` |
| P | Prove — Validate | `skills/phase5-prove/` |

## How to use

Run phases in order. Do not skip. Each phase has an exit checklist — do not proceed until it's complete. Use templates in `/templates` as deliverable starting points.

## Governing principle

> Outcome first. Always.

Never talk about technology before the problem is defined.
Never define the solution before the finish line is set.
Never hand a feature to Claude Code without an AI Spec.
