gate-check

To check phase transition readiness, you evaluate required artifacts and design quality against specific gate criteria. This gate-check process yields a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict with actionable blockers to ensure alignment before progression.

A phase-gate evaluation validates that required artifacts exist and meet quality criteria before a project advances. It enforces cross-domain checks between lifecycle phases like Concept to Systems Design, generating a standardized readiness verdict with required next steps.

You verify production readiness by running a gate check targeting the production phase to evaluate existing artifacts. The process applies phase-specific checks and returns a PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict detailing any blockers that must be resolved.

Yes, you can manually select a specific development gate for evaluation. When no explicit target phase is provided, the system uses interactive auto-detection to confirm the correct transition before applying the artifact and design quality checks.

Standard transition gates include Concept to Systems Design, Systems Design to Technical Setup, Technical Setup to Pre-Production, Pre-Production to Production, Production to Polish, and Polish to Release. Each gate enforces specific artifact presence and quality criteria.

When required artifacts are missing during a phase transition check, the evaluation yields a CONCERNS or FAIL verdict. It generates a list of specific blockers and missing artifacts that must be resolved before advancing to the next development phase.
