Product Brief PDF template — render it from Markdown

A product brief works when nothing on the page competes with the thinking. This template is set entirely in Inter with a confident indigo accent and Swiss-style breathing room on A4 — hairline rules, quiet tables, and a hierarchy that makes the problem statement impossible to skip.

Product Brief
Before & after

Plain Markdown in. A product brief worth sending out.

Write the brief the way PMs already do — problem, users, scope, success metrics, all in Markdown. Inkrun renders every brief in the team to the same clean standard, so review meetings discuss the product, not the formatting, and last quarter's briefs remain instantly recognizable in the archive.

# Product Brief — Usage-Based Billing

**Owner** L. Braun · **Status** In review · **Target** Q3 2026

## Problem

Mid-market customers churn at 2.3× the rate of enterprise,
and exit interviews cite one cause: paying for seats they
don't use. Our flat tiers punish exactly the accounts we
want to grow into enterprise.

## Users

- Ops leads at 50–500 person companies (buyer)
- Finance approvers who audit per-seat spend quarterly

## Proposal

Meter renders per workspace and bill monthly in arrears, with
a spend cap the customer sets. Tiers remain for enterprise.

## Success metrics

| Metric                   | Now   | Target |
| ------------------------ | ----- | ------ |
| Mid-market logo churn    | 4.6%  | ≤3.0%  |
| Expansion revenue share  | 18%   | 28%    |
| Billing support tickets  | 41/mo | ≤45/mo |

## Out of scope

Prepaid credits, reseller billing, currency support beyond
USD/EUR — all tracked for a later phase.

## Open questions

1. Cap behavior: hard stop or overage alert?
2. Does the free tier keep monthly reset or move to credits?

FAQ

Product Brief template — common questions.

Can briefs render automatically from our planning tool?

Yes — export or generate the Markdown from your tool and POST it to the API with the product-brief template; many teams do this in a webhook.

Is it meant for one page?

It's one-page-minded but not enforced — the spacing scales cleanly to two or three pages when the brief needs it.

Can we swap indigo for our product color?

Duplicate the template with your hex; the Swiss layout and Inter typography stay put.
