Bucket client feedback into scope, bug, or taste

Feedback arrives as a blob. Panic follows. Buckets first: scope vs bug vs taste.

This hack: fifteen minutes, sort the blob before you rewrite everything.

When to use it

• A client sent a batch of revision notes.
• Delivery needs a plan for what changes.
• You can tell the difference between defect and preference.

When not to

• Feedback is a single clear bug. Just fix it.
• Relationship is escalating to conflict. Manager joins.
• You're sorting to dismiss taste as illegitimate. Taste can still be in-scope.

Do this (timer on)

1. 1. Paste feedback items.
2. 2. Tag each: scope / bug / taste / question.
3. 3. Propose handling for each bucket.
4. 4. Reply with the sorted plan.

Prompt (copy)

Sort client feedback into buckets.

Buckets: scope change | bug/defect | taste/preference | clarifying question
For each item: bucket, why, proposed response (fix / change order / push back / ask)

Do not invent items.

FEEDBACK:
[paste]
SIGNED SCOPE SUMMARY:
[paste]
