Plan Validation
Overview
Turn a plan into a validation matrix and verify it with evidence.
Workflow
- Map each plan step to a validation method (test, dry run, sample, or metric).
- Identify required data, environments, and permissions.
- Run or propose minimal checks that prove feasibility early.
- Report confidence with supporting evidence and remaining risks.
Validation Matrix
- Step
- Validation method
- Success criteria
- Evidence or blockers
Output Rules
- Provide a realistic confidence percentage with rationale.
- Call out what is untested and what would change the confidence.
- Separate evidence from assumptions and label unknowns explicitly.
Acceptance Criteria
- Validation matrix is present and complete.
- Confidence includes rationale and remaining unknowns.
