Clients and service providers have different interpretations of vague design terms like 'modern' or 'premium' during kickoff meetings, leading to misaligned expectations and rework later in the project.

Current communication methods (meetings, notes) fail to capture and align subjective interpretations of abstract design concepts, causing assumptions that lead to project delays and client dissatisfaction.
