Artifact Maturity
Artifact Maturity
Status: Working draft
Purpose: Track maturity of Framework Engineering artifacts.
Maturity Levels:
- Experimental
- Emerging
- Established
- Mature
| Artifact | Maturity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Constitution | Mature | Successfully exercised |
| Research Charter | Established | Guiding development |
| Validation Protocol | Mature | Used across validation suite |
| Prediction Lock | Mature | Multiple successful uses |
| Configuration Integrity | Mature | Essential for reproducibility |
| Evidence Isolation | Established | Successfully exercised during LRC-001 |
| Framework Configuration Records | Mature | Core infrastructure |
| Evidence Packages | Established | Validated during LRC-001 |
| Research Question Sets | Established | Demonstrated value |
| Longitudinal Reference Cases | Established | First successful implementation |
| Evidence Ledger | Emerging | Valuable, additional quantitative work planned |
| Deferred Insights | Mature | Prevented premature framework evolution |
| Engineering Change Requests | Emerging | Workflow established |
| Engineering Change Packages | Emerging | Workflow established |
| Diagnostic Stability | Experimental | One completed longitudinal study |
| Framework Templates | Experimental | Recently created |
Artifact maturity describes confidence in the artifact itself, not permanence.
Mature artifacts remain subject to evidence.
