Spec Generation

Turn customer research into structured, evidence-backed product specifications — complete with prioritised themes, dev-ready tasks, and acceptance criteria.

From raw research to a complete spec

Theme discovery

Outlain reads through your research and identifies recurring patterns — pain points, feature requests, workflow gaps, and churn risks — ranked by frequency and severity.

Evidence-backed specs

Every spec is grounded in your actual research data. Claims are linked to specific customer quotes and data points — no guesswork, no gut feelings.

Sized dev tasks

Specs come with a task breakdown — each task scoped to a few hours of work with clear acceptance criteria. Ready for your team or a coding agent.

Built-in quality review

Every generated spec goes through an automated quality check. Issues are caught and fixed before you see the output — so you get a polished result, not a rough draft.

What's in a generated spec

Problem statement — What's the user pain, backed by research evidence

Proposed solution — Full user journey, UI states, and edge cases

Supporting evidence — Customer quotes and data points linked to each claim

Technical changes — Data model, API, and UI component changes

Task breakdown — Scoped tasks with acceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria — Clear pass/fail conditions for every task

Non-functional requirements — Performance, security, accessibility, and scalability considerations

Technical criteria — Implementation-specific guidance so agents and developers know exactly how to build it

Out-of-scope items — What's explicitly not included, to keep scope tight
