Run ESM with Client, Walk Mockups

Objective

Invoke the existing Envision the System (ESM) workflow with the client and establish the approved product/experience baseline for architecture and delivery.

Required inputs

• docs/project/VISION_SCOPE_HANDOVER.md.
• docs/project/CHARTER.md v0, especially Goals and Team Roster.
• Named client decision-maker and scheduled review point.

Procedure

1. Enter the ADE's planning mode when available; otherwise write a short execution plan before changing artifacts.
2. Invoke ESM activities in their defined dependency order. Pass the normalized handover, Charter goals, personas, constraints, and unresolved assumptions as context.
3. Where ESM explicitly permits fan-out, parallelize independent read-only analysis or distinct-output work, then run its convergence checks.
4. Walk every mockup and material journey decision with the client. Record decisions, rejected alternatives, and open questions.
5. Resolve or explicitly defer blocking questions before handing off to DTA.

Completion evidence

All required ESM artifacts exist at their canonical project locations, identifiers agree across journey/IA/dialogue/feature/mockup artifacts, the client approval record names the approved baseline, and no unresolved question prevents architecture. Merely generating mockups does not complete this activity.
