+## Purpose
+
+User stories capture user-valued increments of functionality in a lightweight, negotiable format that drives backlog prioritization, estimation, and iterative delivery planning.
+
+## Quality Criteria Checklist
+
+Level: **Mandatory** criteria are the baseline every instance must meet; **Optional** criteria are advanced and may be deferred.
+
+| # | Criterion | Level | ISO/IEC 25010 Characteristic(s) | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | Follows INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable) | Mandatory | Functional Suitability, Maintainability | |
+| 2 | Written in "As a / I want / So that" form | Mandatory | Usability | |
+| 3 | Clear, testable acceptance criteria are included | Mandatory | Functional Suitability, Reliability | |
+| 4 | Traceable to a use case or epic | Mandatory | Maintainability | |
+| 5 | Story is sized to fit within a single iteration | Optional | Maintainability | |
+| 6 | Story statement avoids technical implementation detail | Optional | Usability, Maintainability | |
+| 7 | Role named in the story matches an actor defined in the Use Case Diagram | Mandatory | Compatibility | |
+
+## Common Defects
+
+- Compound stories bundling multiple unrelated goals ("As a... I want X and Y and Z")
+- Missing, vague, or unverifiable acceptance criteria
+- Role that does not match any actor defined elsewhere
+- Stories phrased as implementation tasks rather than user-valued outcomes
+
+## Traceability Rule
+
+- Backward: Use Case Diagram checklist ([QC-UCD-001]), Use Case checklist ([QC-UC-001]) (Brief/Casual), Business Case checklist ([QC-BC-001])
+- Forward: Iteration/Sprint backlog, Fully Dressed Use Cases ([QC-UC-001]), acceptance tests — the backlog/tests are outside the QC checklist chain
