Baselines & evidence

What applied on acceptance day?

A frozen state holds requirements, verifications, links and results together - immutable, comparable, ready to hand over.

Live data can't answer questions about the past

“What did the customer sign off back then?” cannot be answered from a moving state.

The state has moved on

Work continued after acceptance. Today's list doesn't show what was signed.

Evidence lies scattered

Requirements list here, test protocols there, the methodology in force in an email.

Nobody knows what was frozen in

Only during the assessment does it surface that twelve requirements had no verification at freeze time.

Comparing two states? Manual work

What was added, changed, removed - someone reconstructs that from documents today.

Freeze

One state, everything in it, immutable

The snapshot copies everything by value: requirements, verification items, links and the latest results. It stays readable even if objects are renamed or deleted later.

    Compare

    Two states side by side

    Added, changed, removed - per requirement, with the changed fields. The comparison answers the question a customer asks at the second release.

      Evidence

      One archive instead of six exports

      The evidence package bundles a state as a five-sheet spreadsheet, plus the methodology in force and a cover sheet explaining what is inside and why it was frozen.

        Questions about baselines and evidence

        A report is a snapshot of live data and answers how things stand right now. A baseline records how things were back then. An assessment usually needs both - which is why the reports page says so in one sentence.

        No, and that is the point. There is no update path. Deleting is possible but tied to a dedicated permission and an audit entry.

        No. Work continues as normal; the state stays as it was. Optionally you can require a change request for edits to delivered requirements.

        Yes. A quality gate can carry a state as its reference and optionally only pass once coverage is sufficient or all mandatory rules are met.

        Evidence that survives an assessment

        Freeze a state during the trial and look at the package.
