# Specification Quality Checklist: Spec 369 - Baseline Profile Decision View

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and readiness before implementation
**Created**: 2026-06-09
**Feature**: `specs/369-baseline-profile-decision-view/spec.md`

## Candidate Selection Gate

- [x] CHK001 Selected candidate exists in repo source material (`specs/368-platform-ui-signal-to-noise-browser-audit`).
- [x] CHK002 Selected candidate is not already covered by an active or completed spec.
- [x] CHK003 Completed specs are treated as historical context only.
- [x] CHK004 Scope is the smallest viable slice: existing Baseline Profile detail page only.
- [x] CHK005 Close alternatives are deferred instead of hidden in scope.
- [x] CHK006 Candidate aligns with platform productization and governance operator value.

## Content Quality

- [x] CHK007 Spec has clear problem statement and user value.
- [x] CHK008 Spec includes primary users/operators and user stories.
- [x] CHK009 Functional and non-functional requirements are testable.
- [x] CHK010 Out-of-scope boundaries are explicit.
- [x] CHK011 Assumptions and risks are documented.
- [x] CHK012 No `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]` markers remain.

## Constitution Alignment

- [x] CHK013 Workspace ownership and RBAC expectations are stated.
- [x] CHK014 Existing high-impact actions retain confirmation, authorization, audit, and OperationRun behavior.
- [x] CHK015 No new persisted truth, enum/status family, or broad abstraction is introduced.
- [x] CHK016 Provider/platform boundary impact is bounded and documented.
- [x] CHK017 UI/Productization Coverage is completed because a reachable UI surface changes.
- [x] CHK018 Test-governance lane classification is present.

## Spec Readiness Gate

- [x] CHK019 `spec.md`, `plan.md`, and `tasks.md` exist.
- [x] CHK020 Plan identifies likely affected repo surfaces and does not contradict current architecture.
- [x] CHK021 Tasks are ordered, small, verifiable, and include tests/validation.
- [x] CHK022 Open questions do not block safe implementation.
- [x] CHK023 Scope is bounded enough for a later implementation loop.
- [x] CHK024 Recommended next step is implementation, not additional preparation.

## Review Outcome

- **Candidate Selection Gate**: PASS.
- **Spec Readiness Gate**: PASS after preparation analysis.
- **Manual note**: Implementation must stop and update the spec first if it needs new persistence, a new readiness taxonomy, a global UI framework, or baseline engine changes.
