client-validation-document

A client validation document compiles strategically consequential v1 research findings into client-ready ACCEPT, REJECT, EDIT, and DEFER decisions. It presents each finding with cited sources, clear implications, and a structured response template for formal marketing engagement validation.

The best way to structure a decision matrix response is using a paired JSON response template that maps client answers into downstream decision-matrix triggers. This evidence-backed format pairs each finding with cited sources and clear implications for systematic processing.

Yes, you must complete Parts 2, 3, and 4 before generating the Part 5 client validation document. The workflow gating refuses to run unless the engagement state reflects the required completion of these earlier phases to ensure research integrity.

To generate the Part 5 client validation document after v1 research, verify Parts 2 through 4 are complete, then run the client validation document command. The system extracts evidence-backed findings, writes the document and response template to the engagement's part-05 folder, and marks Part 5 as awaiting input.

The client validation workflow requires evidence sourcing to ensure unbiased research is formally validated before proceeding. Each finding cites its sources and outlines clear implications if accepted, enabling clients to make authoritative, evidence-backed ACCEPT, REJECT, EDIT, or DEFER decisions.

You should not use a structured response template when earlier engagement phases are incomplete or when the marketing research lacks evidence-backed findings. The workflow gating prevents execution unless Parts 2 through 4 are finished and the engagement state validates required completion.
