Contract-first QA Gate
The QA gate is a simple rule: high-risk or judgment-heavy work should not be declared done until there is evidence.
Pattern
- Write the acceptance contract.
- Verify during implementation.
- Run a final check before delivery.
- Store evidence where it can be reviewed later.
Why It Matters
Agents tend to complete too early. A contract-first gate makes the final answer depend on verifiable criteria instead of confidence alone.
