Development record
When abcd offers the product thinker options, there is no option for 'this question is unclear'. On 2026-10-15, at the planning interview for itd-2609151838312703, the product thinker could not follow a question about an overlapping draft and had to type 'explain, unclear' into the host's free-text field. The asking rules let an option set end only in 'Decide later' or 'None of these', so a person who does not understand the question has no option to say so. The product thinker's words: when offering options to the PT, always offer 'Unclear, explain with an example' to ensure the user can select that.
