# Step 1 : Analysis

## Steps ⚡:

1. Gather Requirements
2. Always ask for clarification. Do not assume your assumption is correct
3. A solution designed to solve the problems of a young startup is different from that of an established company with millions of users. Make sure you understand the requirements
4. Ask Questions

## **Examples of asking questions 🔍:**

1\. What specific features are we going to build

2\. This a mobile app? Or a web app?

3\. What are the most important features for the product?

4\. How fast does the company anticipate to scale up?

5\. What are the anticipated scales in 3 months, 6 months, and a year?

6\. What is the company’s technology stack? What existing services you might leverage to simplify the design?

7\. How many users does the product have?

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://abdulrahman-1.gitbook.io/my-digital-garden/level-2-system-design/step-1-analysis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
