Template purpose¶

Use this template to define who is accountable for work, evidence, review, and decisions.

In evidence-centered engineering, ownership is not only task ownership. Someone must also own the evidence, review, decision quality, AI verification, risk response, and readiness claims.

Project¶

<Project name>

Review checklist¶

[ ] Major work packages have responsible owners.
[ ] Evidence ownership is explicit.
[ ] Review responsibilities are assigned.
[ ] AI verification responsibilities are assigned where relevant.
[ ] Risk and dependency ownership are defined.
[ ] Governance or approval responsibilities are visible.
[ ] Unowned responsibilities are identified.
