FAQPage Schema

How do I execute specs exactly as written to prevent implementation drift?▼

Spec execution prevents drift by following specifications literally, applying zero creative deviation, and surfacing gaps for discussion before proceeding with any development or validation steps.

How do I handle missing coverage when a spec does not define a specific scenario?▼

Missing coverage triggers gap handling, which escalates the undefined scenario to specification development to fill the gaps before execution proceeds, ensuring complete traceability.

What is deterministic spec execution and when do I need it for validation?▼

Deterministic spec execution enforces exact adherence to defined steps, outcomes, and checkpoints, needed when validation tasks require consistent, verifiable results without improvisation or interpretation.

Can I use spec execution for research tasks or is it only for development?▼

Spec execution supports research, development, and validation tasks equally, applying deterministic execution across steps with built-in review and verification to maintain traceability in any domain.

What's the best way to maintain traceability during specification-driven verification?▼

Maintain traceability during specification-driven verification by enforcing explicit logging and built-in review checkpoints at every step, ensuring outcomes match the defined spec exactly.

Why does spec execution stop and escalate instead of improvising a solution?▼

Spec execution stops and escalates because improvising introduces drift; it enforces gap handling to ensure specifications are completed correctly before continuing execution.
