DOCA.4:7 - Conformance Checklist

A conforming direction/support account:

1. MUST name the subject/configuration, receiving contribution and use, horizon, acceptance expectation, protections, and actual or relied-on starting condition.
2. MUST describe the useful move and first result rather than only a label; a pattern-based direction must preserve its complete cited contribution and applicable conditions.
3. MUST preserve established Method/MethodDescription relations when relied on and must not infer them from a title or publication alone.
4. MUST state what makes retained directions materially different and whether their contribution premises are the same or different.
5. MUST identify the finite change, candidate configuration, material supports, prerequisites, constraints, interactions, and transition basis.
6. MUST preserve result, resource, affected-System/distributional, and explicitly protected coordinate families for finite comparison, with each coordinate’s declared scale and polarity under a common comparison basis.
7. MUST state transition burden, reversibility, and supported or conditional option effects; a later compared step must use its own starting configuration.
8. MUST keep unknown support and ruled-out support different and return the missing owner-qualified result before asserting realizability or joint reachability.
9. MUST NOT claim Pareto improvement when any coordinate in the complete set worsens or its necessary qualification is absent.
10. MUST distinguish a direction or path from a recommendation, choice, programme, Guide, performed Work, or observed effect.
11. SHOULD retain a serious baseline, smaller repair, or no-new-development direction and stop when the next missing result belongs elsewhere.
