Describe victory, not activity

ProblemResearch my competitors every week describes an activity and never tells the Bot what finished means.

TechniqueWrite a seven-field contract before the Bot exists: outcome, inputs, output, frequency, definition of done, constraints and approval gates.

Why it worksIf the finish line cannot be measured, the agent cannot reliably reach it.

When to useBefore creating any Bot that owns a recurring deliverable.
