SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audits an assumption record for specificity, basis quality, risk assessment, and validation plan adequacy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Specificity evaluation: checks whether the assumption is precise, falsifiable, and testable with concrete scope.
  • Basis quality and risk assessment: analyzes evidence, confidence, and downstream impact to surface risks.
  • Validation planning: ensures a concrete plan with owner and timeline is described for verification.

Quick Start

Provide the path to the assumption document to begin the review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit assumptions for validity and risk in documentation?

Assumption audits evaluate specificity, basis quality, risk assessment, and validation plan adequacy. The review checks whether an assumption is precise, falsifiable, testable, and backed by a concrete verification plan with an owner and timeline.

What is included in an assumption validation checklist for risk management?

An assumption validation checklist includes evaluating specificity, basis quality, downstream impact, and validation plan adequacy. It ensures each assumption is falsifiable, testable, has a documented owner, and features a concrete timeline for verification.

How do I review an assumption record to update its validation status?

Reviewing an assumption record audits its specificity, basis, and validation plan to produce categorized findings. The review process updates the document's frontmatter status to Validated, Invalidated, or Deferred based on the audit results.

Can I audit any assumption document or does it require a specific file format?

You can audit assumption documents provided in context, as a file path, or in the standard .sdlc/knowledge/assumptions/NNNN-<slug>.md format. The audit evaluates the content directly and updates the frontmatter status accordingly.

What makes an assumption high risk during a validation audit?

An assumption is flagged as high risk during validation when it lacks specificity, has weak supporting evidence, or misses a concrete validation plan. The audit analyzes confidence levels and downstream impact to surface these associated risks.
