Evidence hygiene
Minimum fields for an evidence record
The format may vary, but these questions should remain answerable.
| Field | Question answered |
|---|---|
| Identity | What record is this, who owns it, and when was it reviewed? |
| System boundary | Which workflow, agents, versions, data, tools, and environment are included? |
| Source | Where did the information or observation come from? |
| Method | How was the evidence collected, reproduced, or reviewed? |
| Result | What was observed or concluded? |
| Limitations | What does the record not establish? |
| Decision | Which action, release, risk, or investment does this evidence support? |
| Change trigger | What would require the record to be revisited? |
Start with a bounded decision
Build the evidence package around the buyer decision.
Start with the review group and decision date, then work backward to the minimum credible records.
