This is my problem with design documents. If your stakeholders already have enough trust that they ask you to go build it without writing a doc, then what value does writing a design doc have.

Many will answer that it helps them think. But why do we need a formal process to think? Thinking is a valuable skill that should be practiced all the time.

Writing for yourself is a good way to think.

Writing is also s good way to document to others that you have thought about the topic/problem/solution.
