[Verse 1]
Before the RFP flies out the door
Pause and question what we're asking for
Surface every hidden belief we hold
Dig beneath the stories we've been told
Check your premises, examine each claim
Are we solving problems or playing blame games?
[Chorus]
Audit assumptions, dig down deep
What we think we know might make us weep
Stated needs and actual truth
Often hide in different booths
Discovery phase, discovery maze
Finding only yesterday's ways
[Verse 2]
They say they need a faster horse today
But maybe wheels could pave a better way
Requirements written in the same old tongue
Miss the melody that should be sung
Listen past the words to hear the pain
What's the problem driving them insane?
[Chorus]
Audit assumptions, dig down deep
What we think we know might make us weep
Stated needs and actual truth
Often hide in different booths
Discovery phase, discovery maze
Finding only yesterday's ways
[Bridge]
Pre-transformation checklist time
Every stakeholder must climb
Past their comfort zone of thought
To the insights that can't be bought
Alignment starts before the build
Question everything until
[Verse 3]
Discovery sessions often just confirm
What everyone believed before the turn
Breaking through requires different questions
Challenge all their base assumptions
Build the checklist, test each part
Thinking aligned before we start
[Final Chorus]
Audit assumptions, dig down deep
What we think we know might make us weep
Stated needs and actual truth
Often hide in different booths
Align the thinking first, then code
That's the transformation road
[Outro]
Before the systems, align the minds
That's where transformation finds
Its truest path
