The current product has dozens of known minor issues that cause significant user pain and have remained unresolved for months due to poor methodological execution. We receive constant user feedback — our North Star and our anchor to reality — and to improve user outcomes and satisfaction, we need an efficient process that channels collective thinking and structured argumentation into fast, reliable task execution. Enhancement Notes will serve as the decision-making funnel for system improvements, and the expectation is to handle them with the same speed as bugs.
Process
Hypertuesday: Surfacing User Pains
Each Hypertuesday, we review User Feedback as a team. User Feedback becomes part of our knowledge repository and exposes conflicts within it. A core task of the Seed System is to, as knowledge emerges, identify and resolve these contradictions and shape better solutions.
Labeling the User Pain
Every User Pain must be categorized as one of the following:
Bug: broken behavior.
Project: large initiative requiring discovery or multi-step planning.
Enhancement: small/medium improvement to an existing feature.
Distant-Future User Story: valuable but not actionable yet.
Writing the Enhancement Note.
If labeled as an Enhancement, a Team Member writes an Enhancement Note explaining:
The pain or problem.
The context.
Any relevant user comments or examples.

Argumentation & Review
The Enhancement Note is reviewed by relevant peers. Through argumentation structures, conflicts are resolved and clarity emerges.
Argumentation on an Enhancement Note
The Note is then updated with the agreed-upon solution.
Creating a Linear Task
Once a solution is agreed-upon, a Linear Task is created and assigned to a responsible person. It is prioritized alongside:
Active Bugs.
Ongoing Projects.
Other Enhancements.
This forms the Linear list of Issues the team executes against.

What is the difference between a Project and an Enhancement
A Project is a larger, higher-uncertainty initiative that requires discovery, design, or cross-team planning.
An Enhancement is a small, well-scoped improvement to an existing feature, where both the problem and solution are clear and can be executed quickly.
