SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refine a completed deliverable by applying a structured second-pass gradient that targets observed defects rather than re-running from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Second-gradient refinement on the deliverable itself (y-axis), preserving what's good and improving gaps.
  • Builds the gradient from three sources: concrete defects, gate rejections, and evaluation deltas.
  • Use cases include documents, designs, reports, or code modules that are usable but imperfect.

Quick Start

Provide concrete defects and run a single refinement pass to polish the current output without starting over.

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish a deliverable without re-running the entire workflow from scratch?▼

To polish a deliverable efficiently, apply a structured second-pass refinement that targets observed defects. This preserves what's good while improving gaps, avoiding a full rework.

What is the best way to refine an imperfect document using collected rejections?▼

The best way to refine an imperfect document is to enumerate concrete defects, collect gate rejections, and process evaluation deltas to generate a revised output within a fixed budget.

Can I use targeted refinement on code modules and reports that are usable but imperfect?▼

Yes, targeted refinement applies to code modules, reports, designs, and documents that are usable but imperfect. It polishes the current output without requiring a complete restart.

When do I need a second-gradient refinement process for my design documentation?▼

You need a second-gradient refinement process when your design documentation has specific observed defects. It builds a gradient from those defects to ensure monotonic improvement.

Does iterative refinement work for fixing defects under a fixed budget constraint?▼

Yes, iterative refinement works under a fixed budget constraint by processing evaluation deltas to generate a revised output. It enforces monotonic improvement constraints for efficiency.

What are the limitations of applying targeted polish instead of a full rework?▼

Targeted polish requires enumerating concrete defects and collecting rejections beforehand. It is limited to usable but imperfect deliverables where monotonic improvement is sufficient.
