Evidence Maturity Matrix
Stop debating "Is this ready?" Use this scoring model to measure clarity objectively.
| Level | Definition | Exit Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Level 0 (Idea) | A concept or ticket with no evidence. Pure opinion. | None (Blocked) |
| Level 1 (Draft) | Problem and Outcome defined. Risk Owner named. | Lens Draft |
| Level 2 (Ready) | All blocking questions answered. Dependencies confirmed. | Signed Scope Card |
| Level 3 (Locked) | Detailed design complete. Execution active. Scope Freeze. | Active Sprint Board |
Rule: You cannot move to Execution (Level 3) until you hit Level 2.
