Stage mission

Review, verify, integrate, and preserve evidence for implementation changes before they become part of the shared baseline.

Primary engineering question

Is the implemented work safe, traceable, verified, reviewed, and ready to integrate into the shared engineering baseline?

Required evidence

  • review scope evidence;
  • pull request review evidence;
  • traceability review evidence;
  • AI implementation review evidence where applicable;
  • guardrail review evidence;
  • integration planning evidence;
  • integration verification evidence;
  • review finding evidence;
  • integration decision evidence;
  • transition evidence.

Completion criteria

ES-108 is complete when review scope is clear, PR review evidence exists, traceability is reviewed, AI-assisted implementation is reviewed where applicable, guardrails are checked, integration plan exists, integration verification is recorded, review findings are resolved or accepted, integration decision is explicit, and ES-109 readiness is documented.

Success criteria

ES-108 succeeds when ES-109 can begin testing and verification without guessing what changed, why it changed, how it was reviewed, what was integrated, or what risks remain.

Risks if skipped

Skipping ES-108 may result in unreviewed code, AI-generated defects, weak traceability, guardrail violations, integration instability, hidden risks, and unfocused testing.

Continue to ES-109

Move into Testing and Verification after ES-108 is complete.
