To create an AI design contract for a project phase, you need to orchestrate framework selection, documentation review, domain research, and evaluation planning into a structured AI-SPEC.md artifact. This ensures your AI system development starts with clear, validated decisions.

An AI evaluation strategy defines how the resulting AI work is measured and validated before development begins. It requires orchestrating staged research and validation steps during the design contract phase to establish clear testing criteria.

AI framework selection and documentation research are coordinated through a structured design contract. This process anchors your phase by guiding research into supporting docs and domain context before finalizing any framework decisions.

A formal design contract is needed when a project phase requires coordinated AI framework selection, domain research, and evaluation planning. It preserves workflow gates and produces an AI-SPEC.md artifact to ensure development starts with clear decisions.

Integrating domain research and validation steps into AI workflow gates requires orchestrating staged research during the design contract phase. This preserves existing workflow gates while producing a formal AI-SPEC.md artifact for the project.

A staged research approach for AI framework selection is not suitable for simple phases that do not require formal documentation research, domain research, or a structured evaluation strategy to proceed with development.
