SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers decide if the current literature, claims, and artifacts justify moving to the next stage in a research workflow, reducing gate ambiguity and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Review and synthesize literature, claims, and artifacts to assess readiness for progression.
  • Apply orchestrator checks to enforce stage gates and governance.
  • Return a clear decision (pass, pass with caveats, or fail) plus the minimum missing evidence required to pass.
  • Use Case: In a multi-stage research cycle, evaluate whether an evidence base supports advancing from analysis to proposal.

Quick Start

Ask it to evaluate the current project state and it will return a readiness decision with the gaps to pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate if my literature review is ready to advance to the next research stage?▼

To evaluate if your research is ready to advance, review your current literature, claims, and artifacts against stage gate criteria. This assessment returns a readiness decision and lists the minimum missing evidence required to pass the stage gate.

What is evidence gating in a research workflow?▼

Evidence gating is a research stage gate check that evaluates literature, claims, and artifacts to determine readiness for progression. It returns a clear pass, pass with caveats, or fail decision and identifies the minimum missing evidence required to pass.

How do I identify missing evidence needed to pass a research stage gate?▼

To identify missing evidence needed to pass a stage gate, evaluate your current artifacts and unresolved objections against governance criteria. This evaluation returns a structured list specifying the minimum missing evidence required to pass and advance to the next stage.

Can I apply stage gate governance checks to unresolved research objections?▼

Yes, you can apply orchestrator checks to enforce stage gates and governance across unresolved objections. The evaluation assesses these objections alongside claims and artifacts to return a clear decision and list the minimum missing evidence needed to pass.

Does this skill work for multi-stage research cycles transitioning from analysis to proposal?▼

Yes, it works for multi-stage research cycles by evaluating whether the current evidence base supports advancing from analysis to proposal. It reviews your project state and returns a readiness decision with any required gaps to pass the stage gate.
