ES-108 Readiness Gate

Purpose

This readiness gate verifies that ES-108 is complete and ES-109 can begin responsibly.

Testing and verification should not begin until review and integration evidence explains what was integrated, why, how it was reviewed, and what risks remain.

Completion standard

You are ready to continue when each gate is satisfied.

Gate 1 Review scope

Review Question

Is the review scope clear?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/code_review_overview.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 2 Pull request review

Review Question

Is pull request or code review evidence recorded?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/pull_request_review_record.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 3 Traceability review

Review Question

Does the change trace to work items, requirements, design, and implementation evidence?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/traceability_review.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 4 AI implementation review

Review Question

If AI materially assisted implementation, was the AI-assisted work reviewed?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/ai_implementation_review.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Not applicable ☐ Needs review

Gate 5 Guardrail review

Review Question

Were implementation guardrails checked?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/guardrail_review.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 6 Integration plan

Review Question

Is the merge and validation plan defined?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/integration_plan.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 7 Integration verification

Review Question

Are integration checks and results recorded?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/integration_verification_record.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 8 Review findings

Review Question

Are findings recorded, resolved, deferred, or explicitly accepted?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/review_findings.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 9 Integration decision

Review Question

Is the integration decision explicit?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/integration_decision_record.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Gate 10 Transition readiness

Review Question

Does the readiness summary explain why ES-109 can begin?

Required Evidence

docs/integration/integration_readiness_summary.md

Status: ☐ Yes ☐ Needs review

Exit criteria

ES-108 is complete when review and integration evidence is sufficient for testing and verification to begin responsibly.

Common Pitfall

Do not proceed to ES-109 if testers must guess what changed or what risks remain.
