acceptance-standard-definition

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams replace vague or subjective acceptance language with clear, falsifiable “done” criteria backed by evidence, so completion can be proven and verified rather than argued.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Evidence-first acceptance criteria: Forces each criterion to specify Given/When/Then plus an evidence type that can be reproduced and reviewed.
• Covers positive, negative, and recovery paths: Ensures denials, error handling, regression, and operational recovery are included proportionally to risk.
• Non-functional standards with measurable thresholds: Prevents “fast/secure/robust” claims from slipping through without numeric thresholds, named controls, or standards references.
• Traceability and scope requirements: Requires every criterion to trace to a scenario/requirement id and to define the applicable scope (data, load, environment, devices, tenants).
• Routing and handoff alignment: Provides selection rules and explicitly hands off to specialized gates for test strategy, security/privacy, SLOs, performance thresholds, and release gating.

Quick Start

Ask the acceptance-standard-definition capability to convert your current acceptance criteria (or lack of them) into a falsifiable set of Given/When/Then standards with explicit evidence artifacts and release-blocking decisions.
