Inception Phase

The phase in which the project’s goals, problem domain, and scope are defined, and the value and feasibility to be validated are clarified. In the AI era, its central role shifts from fixing detailed specifications to defining the outline of the context shared between humans and AI.

In SimpleModeling, the inception phase is positioned as the stage where the domain language is articulated and the problem space is defined. Its purpose is to explicitly delineate the outer boundary of the shared contextual assumptions between humans and AI through requirement and conceptual models.
