BILL-2026-03-15-AM-LAW-001-PHASE-END

Summary

Amend LAW-001 to require a formal phase-end assessment report and sprint closeout phase progress status.

Proposed Amendment

Add to LAW-001: Planning Rules

New Section: Sprint Phase Progress Status

Each sprint closeout must include a status update toward the current phase goals and critical path.

New Section: Phase-End Assessment Report

Before advancing to the next phase, a phase-end report is mandatory and must include:

• Testing status with a 90% coverage target (or explicit waiver with rationale).
• Architectural best practices assessment.
• Code quality assurance beyond test pass status.
• Trueness to intent or HIL approval for intent changes.
• Application gap analysis.
• Development community friendliness assessment.
• Critical edge cases assessment.
• Strict security adherence review.
• Cohesion of principles, design, and implementation.
• Backlog grooming and reprioritization for the next phase.
• HIL notification with a link to the report.

Rationale

Phase transitions are high-risk. A standardized report creates accountable, auditable readiness decisions.

Impact

Adds structured documentation at phase boundaries; minimal overhead but increased governance quality.

Vote Recommendation

Approve to strengthen phase gate enforcement.
