ES-105 Outputs¶
Purpose¶
This page defines the outputs produced by ES-105 and how they support later stages.
Required outputs¶
docs/design/design_overview.md
docs/design/interface_design.md
docs/design/data_design.md
docs/design/workflow_design.md
docs/design/access_control_design.md
docs/design/ai_interaction_design.md
docs/design/error_and_exception_design.md
docs/design/technical_decision_records.md
docs/design/design_review.md
docs/design/design_readiness_summary.md
Output purposes¶
| Output | Purpose | Downstream Use |
|---|---|---|
| Design overview | Establishes design goals and sources. | Implementation readiness |
| Interface design | Defines component contracts. | Implementation and testing |
| Data design | Defines structures and evidence fields. | Implementation, testing, governance |
| Workflow design | Defines system behavior and transitions. | Implementation and testing |
| Access-control design | Defines authorization behavior. | Implementation, security testing |
| AI interaction design | Defines AI handling and human review. | Implementation, AI verification |
| Error and exception design | Defines failure behavior. | Implementation, testing |
| Technical decision records | Preserves design rationale. | Maintenance and review |
| Design review | Records findings and corrections. | Readiness decision |
| Design readiness summary | States ES-106 readiness. | Implementation readiness transition |
Optional outputs¶
docs/design/ui_flow_notes.md
docs/design/api_contracts.md
docs/design/data_dictionary.md
docs/design/state_machine.md
docs/design/open_design_questions.md
Create optional outputs only when they clarify real design evidence.
Output quality checklist¶
Confirm every required artifact exists, design traces to architecture, interfaces are clear, data structures include evidence needs, workflows include failure behavior, access control is explicit, AI interaction is explicit or not applicable, technical decisions are recorded, design review is complete, and readiness for ES-106 is clearly stated.
Common pitfall
Do not mistake detailed implementation notes for design clarity. Design should explain technical choices, not dump coding instructions.
Engineering insight
The best design outputs make ES-106 less subjective.
