List separately any fact you needed but did not have. Apply the topic-specific inputs and boundaries in my brief. Topic-specific inputs and boundaries for my brief: Gather the milestone, team size, budget if known, accessibility or dietary needs people have told you about, and your time window. Add the event length, venue options or still to confirm, activities people may opt into, and helpers' availability. Keep spending approval and role assignments unresolved unless already confirmed. Mark anything you cannot verify as still to confirm. Decide who will see the final result before you start. My brief: [paste your checked brief here]. Use only my supplied facts.
