From interest to a site brief.

A site brief people can examine

Put purpose, space and delivery on the same page.

A strong first brief describes a useful combination and shows how it could operate here.

Start with the people, their activity and the resource they share. Add a current room inventory, a weekly calendar and a transparent cost scenario. Identify the questions that belong to the property parties and those belonging to each service.

The brief can grow through demonstrations and real responses. It does not need to describe the whole Aura ecosystem before one useful overlap becomes understandable.
