Advisory
Use advisory after the stage verdict is visible.
Book a session to review evidence gaps, stage order, and the next ProductBooks move.
Bring stage outputs, source evidence, and the decision you are trying to make.
Diagnostic module
Advisory doctrine
This page explains how advisory fits into the ProductBooks system without changing routing, form behaviour, or diagnostic logic.
Purpose
Clarify the next diagnostic move
Advisory is designed to review stage order, evidence gaps, and the operational implication of current outputs after the system has already surfaced them.
Inputs
Bring stage outputs and source evidence
The most useful advisory inputs are recent evaluator results, source material, and a concrete decision that still feels exposed or blocked.
Boundary
Advisory does not replace the system
The session does not rewrite the verdict, modify scoring, or skip stage order. It helps the team choose what evidence to generate next.
Diagnostic module
What the session is for
Advisory exists to clarify the next diagnostic move, not to replace the diagnostic system.
Use the session to
- Review stage verdicts and evidence gaps.
- Choose which evidence to generate next.
- Check whether the team is moving stages too early.

Prepare the inputs
The session is stronger when the evidence is already visible.
Bring
- Recent evaluator outputs.
- Source evidence or user research material.
- The exact decision the team needs to make next.

System references
Advisory is downstream of the core diagnostic path and works best when the team can trace the current issue back to a stage or evidence rule.

Command path
If no stage has been run yet, start there before booking.
The best first step is usually Problem–Solution Fit. Advisory works best once the system has already surfaced the gaps.

Book the session once the stage output is ready to review.
Use advisory to sharpen the next move, not to skip the stage order.
