 Requirements form the "official" engineering specification of a design problem - that is, of the expectations of stakeholders to address an imbalance in some [[situation]].  They constitute a reference document to which everyone involved in subsequent design and engineering tasks will refer; they constitute a question that a satisfactory design //must// answer.
-Because of this, top-level requirements (i.e., those requirements applying to the intervention as a whole) must be defined //before// any specific design ideas or concepts are developed.
+Because of this, requirements tied to external needs must be defined //before// any specific design ideas or concepts are developed.
 However, beware of creating artificial requirements not rooted in information available at that point in the design process.
