Summary (updated 2026-06-07):
COMPLETE(all chain links): 0 (evidence is produced once implementation starts)PARTIAL(missing only build-time evidence): 19MISSING(no design): 0 — Agent Assignment API now designed (tracker-agent-assignment-api.md)
| Design Element | Document | Issue |
|---|---|---|
tracker_audit schema (10th schema) |
TAD §14 | No explicit PRD feature requires audit schema; audit trail referenced in BR-009 but no capability defined |
| GraphQL API surface | C4 Topology, functional-scope.md Design | No PRD requirement defines GraphQL as first-class surface |
| Redis in Docker Compose | TAD §26 | No caching requirement explicitly defined in PRD for Redis; only "strategic caching" for Core rulesets in TAD §17 |
| Requirement | Source | Missing Design |
|---|---|---|
| BMAD Agent Assignment API endpoints | EPIC-005 | No REST API spec for agent assignment |
| Threat Modeling (STRIDE) | PRD EPIC-001 (Could Have) | No STRIDE analysis document |
| OKR Alignment Mapping | PRD EPIC-000 (Could Have) | No design for OKR entity |
| SPACE Metrics specific indicators | PRD EPIC-004 | No SPACE sub-metric definition |
| C4 diagram generation (auto) | PRD EPIC-001 (Should Have) | No design for automated C4 generation |
| Bulk Import (CSV/YAML/JSON) | PRD EPIC-000 (Should Have) | No import specification |
| External tool export (Jira/Trello) | PRD EPIC-000 (Should Have) | No ACL spec for exports |
| API | Location | Issue |
|---|---|---|
GET /api/v1/initiatives/{id}/drift-history |
TAD §23 | Drift history is implied by UC-003 but no explicit use case |
POST /api/v1/releases/{id}/deploy |
TAD §23 | Deployment triggering not explicitly in UC-005 (planning vs executing) |
All schemas have domain owners per bounded context. No orphaned tables detected. (INC-T-001 naming inconsistency must be resolved first to confirm.)
| Capability | SDLC Phase | Quality Gate | Evidence Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| All capabilities | All | Gate 2 (Design) | OpenAPI spec files (not yet created) |
| All capabilities | All | Gate 4 (QA) | Test execution records (implementation not started) |
| Architecture Drift | Gate 3 | Gate 3 | Drift detection engine (not implemented) |
| Phase | Required Artifacts | Exist | Missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery (Gate 1) | Discovery Canvas, ROI doc, KPIs | ✓ Canvas template | Risk Register, OKR mapping |
| Design (Gate 2) | ADRs, OpenAPI specs, Technical Blueprint | ✓ ADR template; ✗ OpenAPI files | OpenAPI specs, Blueprint generator |
| Construction (Gate 3) | CI pipeline, PR tracking, DoD checklist | ✓ CI/CD spec defines pipeline + quality gates | PR-tracking implementation (at build time) |
| QA (Gate 4) | Test Summary, Coverage, .harness results | ✓ Test Strategy defines criteria, coverage floors, .harness integration | Test execution evidence (at build time) |
| Release (Gate 5) | Release Notes template, Rollback Plan, Observability | ✗ | All missing |
| Dimension | Score | Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vision → Capability | 9/9 | 9 | All capabilities traced to vision |
| Capability → PRD Feature | 9/9 | 9 | All have functional source |
| PRD → Business Rule | 7/9 | 9 | BMAD assignment, SPACE metrics lack BRs |
| Business Rule → Use Case | 8/9 | 9 | Re-Do Flow implicit in UC-005 |
| Use Case → DDD Design | 9/9 | 9 | Agent Assignment now designed (Governance DDD + API doc) |
| DDD Design → TAD | 9/9 | 9 | All 9 bounded contexts now have a tactical DDD model (5 Phase Gates + 4 support: Governance, Artifacts, Metrics, Integration) + strategic Bounded Context Map |
| TAD → API Endpoints | 9/9 | 9 | Agent Assignment API designed (REST/CLI/MCP) — tracker-agent-assignment-api.md |
| API → Persistence | 9/9 | 9 | All endpoints have schema ownership |
| API → Test Criteria | 7/9 | 9 | Test strategy defines per-layer + contract tests + BR→test map (tracker-test-strategy.md §12); fine-grained acceptance criteria pending |
| Test Criteria → Evidence | 0/9 | 9 | Implementation not started (evidence produced at build time) |
Overall Traceability Score: 76/90 (84%) (updated 2026-06-07: Test Strategy + Agent Assignment API design; was 67/90 at audit start)
The remaining 14 points are: Test Criteria → Evidence (0/9, unlocks when implementation starts and CI produces real test runs) and partial BR→test mapping (7/9, completes once fine-grained acceptance criteria are elaborated). No design-level gaps remain in the chain.
