Goal: Extract complete feature details through structured Q&A.

1. Receive Initial Description: User provides feature description (free-form)

2. Ask Clarifying Questions:

   1. **Primary User/Persona**: Who will use this feature?
      Options: CEO, Business Owner, General Manager, CFO, Sales Manager, New Owner, End User, Other
   
   2. **Business Value**: What is the main benefit or objective?
      (e.g., "Increase decision-making speed", "Reduce operational costs")

      (List 2-5 core requirements)

3. Build Feature JSON:

     "persona": "ceo",
     "business_value": "Enable data-driven decision making with real-time insights",
     "requirements": [
       "Real-time data updates",
       "Multiple chart types (line, bar, pie)",
       "Export to PDF",
       "Mobile responsive design"
     ],
     "priority": "high",
     "constraints": [
       "Must support 50+ concurrent users",
       "Page load time < 2 seconds"
     ],
     "dependencies": [
       "User authentication system",
