Crystalline release artifact passing through a golden inspection threshold

1. Can the team identify the exact release under review?

The decision should resolve to a build, image, artifact, or deployed commit—not a branch name or “latest.”

The target can still change or is described informallyA candidate is named but not tied to live identityCandidate, artifact, and deployed identity can be proven

2. Are critical user routes and workflows tested against objective acceptance checks?

Passing unit tests alone does not prove that the release works for its important users.

Important workflows rely on informal spot checksChecks exist but leave known route or role gapsNamed workflows have current pass/fail evidence

3. Does deployment evidence include terminal provider state?

A successful push or build start is not proof that the provider completed and served the intended release.

A push or pipeline start is treated as deployment proofProvider completion is checked manuallyTerminal state and live release identity are recorded

4. Is rollback owned, executable, and tested?

Rollback needs a named decision owner, an exact mechanism, and a safe validation check.

Rollback is assumed, unclear, or unownedA method exists but is not recently rehearsedOwner, trigger, execution, and validation are tested

5. Will monitoring catch functional failure—not only uptime?

A green health endpoint can coexist with broken checkout, authentication, data, or AI behavior.

Only process, uptime, or generic error monitoring existsSome critical outcomes are observed manuallyCritical outcomes have actionable signals and owners

6. Are schema, data, and configuration changes reversible?

The team should know which changes cannot safely roll back with the application.

Irreversible or unknown data/configuration effects existRecovery steps exist but have unresolved gapsCompatibility, backup, restore, and rollback are evidenced

7. Are secrets, environment, and dependency assumptions validated?

Confirm the release in the real target environment without exposing secret values.

Environment or dependency drift is mostly implicitKnown dependencies are checked with some gapsPresence, version, access, and failure behavior are validated

8. Is one accountable release owner holding a decision-ready evidence packet?

The final go/no-go call needs an owner, timestamps, results, open risks, and exact blocked reasons.

Ownership or evidence is fragmentedAn owner exists but the packet is incompleteOne owner can show the evidence and unresolved risks
