  "problem": "Pet owners want to know what their dogs and cats are 'saying'. Existing apps are gimmicks that produce random translations.",
  "targetUser": "Pet owners with dogs or cats, particularly first-time owners struggling to decode their pet's behavior.",
  "desiredOutcome": "Owners get a believable, useful interpretation of their pet's vocalization and body language — and use that interpretation to bond with their pet.",
  "initialHypothesis": "Recent advances in audio ML and computer vision make it possible to infer pet emotional state from vocalization + body language with sufficient accuracy that users perceive the output as 'translation' even if scientifically it's classification.",
  "constraints": [
    "On-device inference for privacy (no cloud upload of household audio/video)",
    "Honest about the difference between 'emotion classification' and 'translation' in onboarding"
