HCD.18:7 - Conformance Checklist
This is assurance guidance for a constructed specification; the working method is in sections 4 and 5.
- HCD18-CC1. The specification SHALL identify the material, grain, audience, tasks, prerequisites, assistance, subject basis, consuming decision, and qualification conditions.
- HCD18-CC2. The constructor SHALL check compatibility with an existing specification and derive the task denominator from the promised work rather than the present headings alone.
- HCD18-CC3. The specification SHALL provide adequate, deficient, and outside-use contrasts and preserve the distinction between fit, material value, and evidence.
- HCD18-CC4. Each selected characteristic SHALL have an action-changing purpose, applicability, scale binding, anchors, evidence requirements, and an explicit result or missingness disposition.
- HCD18-CC5. An ordinal numeric rendering SHALL NOT be treated as equal intervals or silently averaged. Any floor, exceptional value, comparison, or non-compensable condition SHALL be justified for the consuming use.
- HCD18-CC6. The result requirements SHALL preserve the evidence and adjacent-value grounds needed to recover the judgement, including first response and actual assistance when they change the inference.
- HCD18-CC7. Calibration SHALL test discriminating contrasts and preserve criterion or evidence disagreements. Constructed cases SHALL be distinguished from observed reader work.
- HCD18-CC8. The specification SHALL state supported conclusions, stops, reopens, neighbouring-claim exits, and the E.23 starting result when repair is needed.
