What problem does it solve?

Prevents fabricated timelines, vague duration estimates, and unverifiable exit criteria in plans and roadmaps by enforcing dependency ordering and concrete, checkable exit conditions at plan creation time. It reduces the risk of unrealistic commitments and hidden assumptions that cause project delays or failed cutovers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fabrication prevention: Blocks calendar-based phase labels and duration claims unless explicit capacity data is provided.
• Dependency enforcement: Requires every phase to state explicit Depends on: relationships so ordering and parallelism are clear.
• Verifiable exit criteria: Forces concrete "done means" statements for each phase that can be objectively checked.
• Use case: Validate a product roadmap or phased migration plan to ensure no invented timelines, clear preconditions, and measurable exits before execution.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to "Validate this phased plan for fabricated timelines, missing dependencies, and unverifiable exit criteria" and apply the Self-Check.
