SL CONTROL DOCUMENT

Outcome Specification — Template

The instrument that defines what "good" means, how it is proven, and the controls that hold it — issued on Day 2 of every Sprint.

NOT VERIFIED

DRAFT

no criteria defined

HOW TO USE

Fill every field. A workflow is never "done" — it is measured against this. If a claim has no acceptance criterion and no evidence source, it is out of scope. The verdict below computes automatically from the criteria results and the pass/fail rule. Export the JSON to version the controlled document.

Pain Statement

STAGE · PAIN

What costly thing happens today? Quantify the leakage — time, money, or trust — and name where in the workflow it occurs.

Required Outcome

STAGE · SPECIFICATION

One testable sentence. Everything downstream exists only to satisfy it. Pattern: "≥ X% of [scope] achieve [result] within [tolerance], measured by [method], evidenced in [source]."

Acceptance Criteria

STAGE · SPECIFICATION

Each row is a pass/fail test with a number and a place its proof lives. Mark which are critical. Set the result during verification — the verdict updates live.

ID	Requirement	Threshold	Measurement	Evidence Source	Crit	Result	Severity

Pass / Fail Logic

STAGE · SPECIFICATION

Block PASS on any open variance of severity ≥

Control Linkage — FMEA

STAGE · CONTROL

Every criterion is held by a control that drives a known failure mode's risk into the acceptable band. RPN and residual compute automatically.

FM	Failure Mode	S	O	D	RPN	Control	S′	O′	D′	Resid	Links

RPN = Sverity × Occurrence × Detectability (1–10 each) · residual must fall below the agreed action threshold

Evidence Requirement

STAGE · EVIDENCE

A claim is only "verified" if its evidence field is populated and timestamped. List every field the workflow must log.

Verification Record

STAGE · VERIFIED OUTCOME

Completed after the build is tested against real scenarios. Compare observed to baseline and target; the verdict derives from the criteria results above.
