What a brief contains
- Evidence state and claim labels
- Findings the evidence supports
- Claims withheld by the evidence rules
- Candidate interventions
- An implementation packet with drafts, examples, acceptance criteria, and regression tests
- The implementation owner and the permitted scope of change
- Business-outcome links with their source and strength
Why briefs are versioned
If evidence changes or the sprint is reopened, CiCi creates a new version. Earlier versions remain available so a team can show what it read and acted on at the time.APM-only briefs
An APM-only brief can include implementation-ready candidates, but its ship gate remains safe to test. The draft is useful; the claim remains limited.Human validation pending
CiCi withholds findings and proposals while human review is incomplete. It shows progress instead of previewing a moving result.Human-validated briefs
When the required evidence is accepted, the brief may include Signal Gap findings and a stronger transfer verdict—within the recorded study boundaries.When a business-outcome link is labeled MIA hypothesis, treat it as a proposed connection to investigate, not an outcome established by the evaluation.
