refine-quality-profile

To refine non-functional requirements, evaluate specify-level quality profile assumptions against system inventory ceilings, project-profile pins, and regulatory floors, producing tightened ISO 25010 NFR targets with a full delta log.

The security ratchet rule enforces that security characteristics in an ISO 25010 quality profile can never be loosened during refinement, halting with a structural failure if an adjustment attempts to weaken security targets.

Trace NFR target adjustments by generating a delta log that captures every refinement, requiring non-empty driver.kind and driver.reference fields to record the specific architectural constraint and rationale for each change.

No, quality profile refinement produces an ISO 25010-based target profile describing what must be achieved, intentionally leaving the naming of delivery mechanisms to the physical architecture stage.

Yes, you can tighten NFR targets by reconciling intent-authored quality profiles against epic constraints and regulatory floors, ensuring compliance while emitting a decision manifest to record user response state for orchestration.

Quality profile refinement halts because the security ratchet rule strictly prohibits loosening security characteristics, triggering a structural failure to prevent any architectural constraint from degrading required security floors.
