Inputs and Outputs

Verification Inputs

Item	Expected Values	Structure	Purpose
Requirement or intended-behavior claim	A documented, uniquely identifiable technical claim	Requirement text and local traceability ID	Define what the verification activity evaluates.
Acceptance criterion	Documented threshold or explicit `Not In Docs` state	Criterion, units, comparison rule, and source	Prevent an undefined threshold from being treated as a result.
Verification method	Planned procedure appropriate to the claim	Ordered steps, calculation references, and disposition rule	Define how evidence will be produced.
Configuration and conditions	Instrument configuration and controlled environmental conditions	Versioned setup record	Make future evidence interpretable and repeatable.
Reference information	Known source values and suitable reference-instrument information	Reference identity, validity, uncertainty, and conditions	Support wavelength, response, and comparison methods.
Calibration information	Calibration and user-configuration versions active for the activity	Version or immutable identity	Connect evidence to the processing context.

Item	Expected Values	Structure	Purpose
Raw observations	Unmodified observations needed to reproduce the analysis	Timestamped evidence artifact	Preserve the basis for future review.
Derived metrics	Values produced only by documented calculations	Value, units, calculation ID, and uncertainty	Support comparison with the criterion.
Evidence location	Stable location or identifier for each artifact	Path or repository-managed reference	Make the evidence package retrievable.
Planned result disposition	`Pass`, `Fail`, or `Inconclusive`	Disposition plus criterion and rationale	Record the future comparison outcome without changing the requirement.
Review record	Reviewer identity, review date, and review disposition	Review metadata	Distinguish captured evidence from reviewed evidence.

Note

Evidence retention duration, naming convention, storage location, and reviewer authority are Not In Docs.
