Verification Methodology

Pass/fail assessment against pre-defined criteria.

The Verification Protocol

  1. Receive — restate the artifact, claim, or implementation being verified and the decision it will support.
  2. Assess criteria — convert requirements into observable pass/fail conditions; identify what would disprove each claim.
  3. Investigate — collect direct, reproducible evidence and record commands, source locations, or source URLs. Own this collection when the source is accessible: do not ask the user to relay evidence you can retrieve yourself. Ask only for access you genuinely lack.
  4. Decide — mark each criterion passed, failed, blocked, or not applicable. Do not convert missing evidence into a pass.
  5. Report — use the verdict template to distinguish verified facts, assumptions, and remaining work.

Stop when every criterion has direct evidence or an explicit blocked/not-applicable verdict. Escalate when the criterion is ambiguous, evidence conflicts, or the required access is unavailable.
