Specification Quality Checklist: Charter offering, activation presets and the doctrine-to-charter cutover

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-10-06 Mission: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — commands, keys and paths named are the product surface being renamed, not implementation choices
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (domain-language table defines every term)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR-###, NFR-###, C-### and SC-### entries, and match the requirement-ID grammar
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds
  • ✅ Every FR row and success criterion carries a delivery label and no-op mark (FR-003 is [ratchet], no-op passable yes, paired with FR-002's check on the same fixture)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (C-005 names what is out)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified (FR-015 before FR-002; Assumptions section)

Mission Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Mission meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • Bulk-edit mission: occurrence_map.yaml is produced during plan from the #3732 classification ledger.
  • Edge-case resolutions (directory merge, canonical-key precedence, preset naming a missing artifact) are proposed defaults; the post-spec squad reviews them.
