DOCA.8:7 - Conformance Checklist

  1. MUST identify the earlier claim, present change, subject/configuration/use/horizon, and the basis on which the change is known.
  2. MUST distinguish world-side, source-claim, receiving-use, reliance-window, and representation changes where they imply different returns.
  3. MUST establish actual dependence before propagating an effect; inspection and coverage limits must remain visible.
  4. MUST use A.10.1 for its actual several-use source-change discovery question, not as a mandatory pass for every changed fact.
  5. MUST obtain the independently governed subject result through the relevant practice before asserting restored qualification.
  6. MUST requalify altered scope, quantities, transfer, and finite comparisons; a narrower candidate does not inherit every whole-use result.
  7. MUST preserve actual versus conditional stage configurations, incurred burdens, and unaffected independent contributions.
  8. MUST state the smallest supported unchanged, narrowed, blocked, revised, or retired use and its exact gap or next receiver.
  9. MUST preserve earlier returned advice and distinguish renewed recommendation, authorized choice, protection response, and implementation.
  10. MUST retain actual professional and observation duties without inventing a continuing service.
  11. SHOULD close a bounded update when its result and coverage limits are usable, while leaving independent unresolved questions explicit.
