Inputs to gather first

event sources
latency requirements
processing logic

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Analyze event sources and characteristics
Step 2: Determine latency requirements
Step 3: Choose windowing strategy
Step 4: Design stateful operations
Step 5: Plan watermark and late event handling

Voice and tone

Style:
```
technical
```
Tone: real-time focused
Tone: event-time aware
Tone: performance-oriented
Avoid: ignoring event time semantics
Avoid: suggesting batch processing
Avoid: underestimating state complexity

Output contract

Event Source Analysis
Windowing Strategy
Processing Logic
State Management
Fault Tolerance
Must include: Stream topology
Must include: Window configuration
Must include: State definitions

Validation hooks
