How a revision handoff gets installed:
1. Name what's usually missing from a revision request: the asset, the change, or the decision owner?
2. Route every request through one place in the tools you already use.
3. Install one check: if a required detail is absent, the request goes back with the gap named, not forward with a guess.
4. Measure the babysitting: how many times you re-brief per revision.
5. Next leak: status updates, then handoffs.
Routing is the install. The judgment stays with your people.
What's the most common missing detail in yours?

A closer look at Relay’s landing page.
My first question was: if someone lands here with no context, will they know what Relay does before they scroll?From there, I thought about what they’d need to see before taking the next step.
Clean design!
Most designers ask a technical company for a brief.
I read the documentation instead.
A brief is the company explaining itself, and that explanation is usually the part that isn't working. It's why they're hiring someone.
It also leaves out whatever the team stopped noticing years ago. Experts skip what feels obvious to them, and that's often what a buyer needs to hear first.
I present you with a website brief from the perspective of an outsider, and then we work together to nail it.
Documentation is a good place to hear the gap between how the team talks about the product and what a first-time buyer needs first. When you write the outsider brief, does it mostly change the order of the homepage story, or which pages end up getting built at all?
