scope-check

Detect scope drift by auditing current work against the original intent and boundaries. The process compares the active task state to the original brief anchors, using red, yellow, and green flags to signal misalignment and guide corrective action.

Anchor-based drift detection is a validation mechanism that compares the current project state to the original brief. It catches deviations early by checking if active tasks remain faithful to predefined boundaries and anchors.

Run a scope audit by comparing current design work to the original anchor brief. The step-by-step drift detection process evaluates alignment, flags deviations using a traffic-light system, and provides corrective-action guidance.

Yes, you can use it for project governance because it records decisions to aid reviews and handoffs. It generates audit-ready reports that validate anchor boundaries and document any corrective actions taken during task execution.

The best way to keep tasks aligned is to implement gate-based alignment checks. This method flags drift with clear signals during feature development and provides immediate corrective actions to prevent boundary violations.

Project scope drifts when active work loses fidelity to the original intent and boundaries. Without anti-drift guards comparing current state to anchors, deviations accumulate silently and require corrective action to realign.
