To validate architectural readiness, you must score five critical dimensions—Scope, Architecture, Evidence, Reuse, and Root Cause—to generate a weighted aggregate score that determines if your plan is ready for code generation.

A confidence gate is a pre-implementation discipline that requires an explicit five-dimension score and decision band before invoking code generation tools, preventing the high cost of rework from poorly understood requirements.

You stop unvalidated implementation by enforcing a strict PROCEED, REVIEW, or STOP decision band based on weighted aggregate scores and safety overrides, ensuring your plan is backed by primary sources and verified utilities.

You need a readiness check when architectural impact and rework costs are significant, specifically before invoking a code executor to ensure your plan has verified existing utilities and primary source evidence.

Aggregate scoring for implementation gating relies on accurately evaluating five specific dimensions and applying safety overrides; if primary sources are lacking or existing utilities are unverified, the gate will enforce a REVIEW or STOP outcome.

Yes, the confidence gate integrates with software engineering workflows by mapping weighted aggregate scores across five dimensions to PROCEED, REVIEW, or STOP outcomes before any code generation begins.
