SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers decide if the current literature, claims, and artifacts justify moving to the next stage in a research workflow, reducing gate ambiguity and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Review and synthesize literature, claims, and artifacts to assess readiness for progression.
  • Apply orchestrator checks to enforce stage gates and governance.
  • Return a clear decision (pass, pass with caveats, or fail) plus the minimum missing evidence required to pass.
  • Use Case: In a multi-stage research cycle, evaluate whether an evidence base supports advancing from analysis to proposal.

Quick Start

Ask it to evaluate the current project state and it will return a readiness decision with the gaps to pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate if my literature review is ready to advance to the next research stage?

To evaluate if your research is ready to advance, review your current literature, claims, and artifacts against stage gate criteria. This assessment returns a readiness decision and lists the minimum missing evidence required to pass the stage gate.

What is evidence gating in a research workflow?

Evidence gating is a research stage gate check that evaluates literature, claims, and artifacts to determine readiness for progression. It returns a clear pass, pass with caveats, or fail decision and identifies the minimum missing evidence required to pass.

How do I identify missing evidence needed to pass a research stage gate?

To identify missing evidence needed to pass a stage gate, evaluate your current artifacts and unresolved objections against governance criteria. This evaluation returns a structured list specifying the minimum missing evidence required to pass and advance to the next stage.

Can I apply stage gate governance checks to unresolved research objections?

Yes, you can apply orchestrator checks to enforce stage gates and governance across unresolved objections. The evaluation assesses these objections alongside claims and artifacts to return a clear decision and list the minimum missing evidence needed to pass.

Does this skill work for multi-stage research cycles transitioning from analysis to proposal?

Yes, it works for multi-stage research cycles by evaluating whether the current evidence base supports advancing from analysis to proposal. It reviews your project state and returns a readiness decision with any required gaps to pass the stage gate.
