## Hypothesis

- "We believe [doing this] will result in [this outcome] because [reason]"

## Related Work

- [Link related backlog or archived stories here with one short note about why they matter]

## Vertical Slice

- Smallest end-to-end change that can prove the expected outcome

## Acceptance Criteria

- [Add binary, testable acceptance criteria here]

## Validate Assumptions

- Quick check with stakeholders/users/data

## Define the Outcome

- [ ] **Hypothesis**
- [ ] **Vertical Slice**
- [ ] **Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] **Success Metrics**:
    - [Define how we'll measure success](./attachments/success-metrics.md?template=stock_partials_success_metrics)
- [ ] **Validate Assumptions**
- [ ] **Demo Plan**:
    - [How we'll show this works](./attachments/demo.md?template=stock_partials_demo)

## Prove the Outcome

- [ ] **Design**: 
    - [Technical approach](./attachments/design.md?template=stock_partials_design)
- [ ] **Plan**: 
    - [Thin execution path to the result](./attachments/plan.md?template=stock_partials_plan)
- [ ] **Implement**: 
    - Deliver the smallest slice that makes the outcome real
- [ ] **Deploy**: 
    - Ship the change and confirm the behavior is live

## Confirm the Outcome

- [ ] **Definition of Done**:
    - [Complete checklist](./attachments/dod.md?template=stock_partials_dod)
- [ ] **Measure Results**:
    - [Capture results](./attachments/success-metrics.md)

**Keep it small**: If this takes >3 days, slice smaller.
**Stay focused**: Build toward outcomes, not just outputs.
**Iterate fast**: Deploy → Measure → Learn → Adjust.
