01

When to use it

Use to define evidence-based operational acceptance rather than a late-stage document handoff.

02

What to challenge

  • Separate accountable authority from delivery execution.
  • Make every important handoff directional and reviewable.
  • Treat this reference pattern as a starting point, not a prescription.
03

Adapt it responsibly

  1. Rename functions to match the organization vocabulary.
  2. Remove elements that are genuinely out of scope.
  3. Validate decision rights and handoffs with accountable stakeholders.
04
