A builder who says “don’t build yet” gets the spec, not a questionnaire
An outside builder’s first message was an eight-module brief for a pet-boarding business that ended “Don’t build anything yet until we have a functional spec we both agree on. Tell me what you would build, what you’d need from me …”. The question at the end read as a new request, so Studio opened its build questionnaire, whose only way out was to build. With that fixed, the answer still never arrived: a check meant to catch claims of finished work read the spec’s descriptions as claims, replaced the answer with “I have not made any change”, and queued the brief to be built. Nothing failed, so no alert and no ticket could see it. The platform found both while driving its own Studio as an outside builder would. A question to Veda now keeps the hold, and a held brief gets its spec with nothing built and nothing queued. Verified live on production the same morning.
