Lists Point · Threshold setting
Checked against the source, not assumed.
The brief sets the boundaries; everything downstream inherits them. Each pass is reversible, so a filter can be loosened without starting again. Delivery includes a plain statement of what the file will not do.
Validation
Checking structure and reachability before a file is used, not after.
Brief interrogation
Reading a requirement back as filters, and asking about the parts that cannot be expressed that way.
Consent state
Carrying the permission status through to delivery instead of dropping it at export.
Point us at the gap and we will scope it properly before quoting anything.
