What this tool does

Make the work reviewable before calling it complete

Use this gate for one identified build, commit, or artifact. A release decision is valid only for the candidate and evidence named here; it is not a permanent claim that the project is ready.

Use it when

  • A milestone, release candidate, demo, or store build is being evaluated.
  • Several test results must be converted into one accountable decision.
  • The team needs an explicit record of missing evidence, waivers, and rollback readiness.
