ES-110 Navigation¶
Purpose¶
This page explains how to move through ES-110 and where release readiness artifacts belong.
ES-110 connects verification evidence to operational readiness. The navigation path should make the release decision traceable from evidence to scope, risk, condition, decision, and operational handoff.

Repository areas used in this stage¶

What to copy¶
Copy templates from template-library/release/ into docs/release/, then complete them for your project.
Do not edit the original templates.
Expected project artifacts¶
docs/release/release_candidate_summary.md
docs/release/release_evidence_index.md
docs/release/defect_and_risk_assessment.md
docs/release/guardrail_release_review.md
docs/release/ai_release_review.md

Traceability expectation¶
Every release decision should connect to:
- release candidate baseline;
- requirements and constraints;
- testing evidence;
- defect status;
- guardrail verification;
- AI verification;
- risk assessment;
- release scope;
- decision authority;
- operational readiness needs.
Untraceable release decisions should be challenged.
Working order¶
Start by identifying the release candidate. Then index evidence. Then assess risk, defects, guardrails, and AI status. Only after that should the team define release scope, conditions, and decision rationale.
Do not make release readiness a single yes/no answer. The real question is what release, under what scope, with what evidence, and with what accepted risk.
Navigation through ES-110 is a release argument: baseline, evidence, risk, scope, decision, conditions, handoff.
