sketched
Roughly drew out
Sketched is the past tense of sketch, meaning to draw quickly and roughly, capturing essential features without fine detail: She sketched the landscape in charcoal.
By extension, sketched applies to outlining ideas or plans in preliminary form: He sketched out his proposal before the meeting.
What's sketched is incomplete by design—a starting point rather than a finished product.
