# Stage 5: Finalize

**Goal:** Save the polished brief, offer the LLM distillate, and point the user forward.

## Step 1: Polish and Save

Update the product brief document at `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}.md`:
- Update frontmatter `status` to `"complete"`
- Update `updated` timestamp
- Ensure formatting is clean and consistent
- Confirm the document reads well as a standalone 1-2 page executive summary

## Step 2: Offer the Distillate

Throughout the discovery process, you likely captured detail that doesn't belong in a 1-2 page executive summary but is valuable for downstream work — requirements hints, platform preferences, rejected ideas, technical constraints, detailed user scenarios, competitive deep-dives, etc.

**Ask the user:**
"Your product brief is complete. During our conversation, I captured additional detail that goes beyond the executive summary — things like [mention 2-3 specific examples of overflow you captured]. Would you like me to create a detail pack for PRD creation? It distills all that extra context into a concise, structured format optimized for the next phase."

**If yes, create the distillate** at `{planning_artifacts}/product-brief-{project_name}-distillate.md`:
