Purposedifferent
When a story carries business rules and exceptions, it brings clarity before implementation. It makes examples, open questions, and boundaries visible enough that the logic becomes jointly sound.When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all.
