A checklist-style rubric for reviewer-ready outputs: scope, assumptions, evidence, and deterministic gates.
A reviewer can state what the output covers, what it excludes, and what inputs were assumed — without reading the system’s mind.
The workflow has fixed checkpoints (gates) that decide what counts as acceptable: required fields, constraints, policies, approvals, and sign-off.
Every non-obvious assumption is surfaced: definitions, thresholds, dependencies, and defaults. If an assumption is wrong, the artifact shows where it entered.
Claims are tied to sources, references, or inputs. If evidence is missing, the artifact makes that absence obvious instead of guessing.
The result is structured for versioning and review (spec, plan, checklist, diff, table) — not just a fluent paragraph.
Known risks are named with mitigations: what can go wrong, how it will be detected, and what the reviewer should verify before adoption.
