Game development gate checks validate phase readiness by verifying required artifacts and producing a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict with blockers. This ensures quality checks are satisfied before advancing stages like Pre-Production to Production.

A phase gate check is a project governance process that validates readiness to advance between game development phases by verifying required artifacts. It outputs a formal PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict to guard stage progression.

Run a gate check targeting the Production stage to validate required artifacts for a phase transition. It applies quality checks and outputs status updates to project files confirming whether progression is safe.

Yes, optional director checks are supported during stage progression. Gate check coordination accepts director-panel inputs alongside artifact and quality checks to validate phase transitions like Systems Design to Technical Setup.

Gate checks require defined phase transitions and present artifacts to function. If project files lack stage data for auto-detection, you must manually specify the target phase to produce a valid PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL verdict.
