Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

Independent parallel reviewers (technical feasibility, scope alignment, dependency audit, format quality) catch issues before the spec is finalized. The output is a standalone markdown document you can hand to your team, feed to any AI coding tool, or use as a project brief. For teams using ido4 MCP, the strate
