Product: Guest/Host Intake Form - Question Types & Functionality Documentation

## 🧩 Overview
- Product team needs to document the complete universe of possible question types and functionalities for the Guest/Host intake form to ensure comprehensive feature planning and prevent scope gaps during design and development phases.
- We need to systematically catalog all potential question formats, validation rules, conditional logic, and user interaction patterns so that design and engineering teams have complete requirements for building a flexible, scalable intake system.
---

## 🎯 Objective
- Create a comprehensive reference document that defines all possible question types, input methods, validation requirements, and interactive functionalities needed for Guest/Host intake forms.
- This documentation will serve as the definitive requirements source for design handoff and technical implementation, ensuring no functionality is overlooked and enabling accurate scope estimation.
