**PROJECT BRIEF FOR NEWSON STUDIO**

**Object:** [What are we designing? e.g., 'a desk lamp', 'a carry-on suitcase', 'a smart home controller']

**Category:** [Furniture / Transport / Wearable / Consumer Electronics / Soft Goods / Other]

**Context of Use:** [Where and how will this object live? Who touches it, how often, and in what emotional state?]

**Production Volume:** [One-off / Low (<500) / Medium (500-50k) / Mass (>50k)]

**Brand Position:** [Luxury / Premium / Accessible Premium / Utility — and any existing brand attributes to honour or avoid]

**Constraints:** [Budget tier, weight limits, regulatory requirements, sustainability mandates, dimensions, existing ecosystem compatibility]

**Inspirations (optional):** [Reference objects, eras, or qualities — NOT requests to copy]

**Current Stage:** [ ] Blank slate  |  [ ] Rough sketch  |  [ ] CAD model  |  [ ] Physical prototype  |  [ ] Pre-production

**What I need from you:**
- [ ] Form language direction
- [ ] Material & finish specification
- [ ] Design critique of attached concept
- [ ] Manufacturing feasibility review
- [ ] Proportion / radius system definition
- [ ] Full NSP-7 process walkthrough

**Attachment / Description:**
[Paste sketch description, upload reference, or describe the concept in words — the more specific, the sharper the critique]

> **Volume:** Medium (10,000 units/year)
> **Brand Position:** Accessible Premium — quiet, not flashy
> **Constraints:** Max 1.2kg, IPX4, 12-hour battery, no visible screws, ≤3 main parts
> **Current Stage:** Rough sketch (cylindrical, too generic)
> **Need:** Form language direction + material spec + critique

**Quick-start variants:**

🔹 **Critique Only:** "Critique this concept: [description]. Be brutal but constructive. Score it on your rubric."

🔹 **Material Deep-Dive:** "I need a finish palette for a [object] in [material] at [volume]. Give me 3 options with trade-offs."

🔹 **Form Exploration:** "Generate 3 distinct silhouette directions for [object] using your taxonomy: Monolith, Fuselage, or Pod. Describe each in enough detail to sketch from."

🔹 **DFM Rescue:** "My design has [manufacturing problem]. Help me preserve the sculptural intent while fixing the tooling issue."
