• 0 points: I mainly want an inexpensive or impressive-looking suit; the use case is unclear.
  • 1 point: I know the occasion and approximate budget, but have not settled the style, climate or comfort requirements.
  • 2 points: I have a wearer-approved brief covering business setting, expected wear frequency, climate, preferred silhouette, movement requirements, delivered-budget ceiling and first-wear date.

Next evidence to obtain: A one-page brief. For example: conservative client meetings, restrained styling, comfortable seated wear and compatibility with existing shirts and shoes. Use your actual requirements—not this example by default.
