IT
Concept case
An early-stage document seeking direction on a digital proposal before detailed planning.
Plain English
An early submission describing a digital project before the detailed plan exists, used to test the idea with decision makers.
If you’re new here

What they probably mean
“Sketch it now so nobody wastes a year on it.”
