Purpose

Tracks backward/forward links between artifact instances so that the Business Case's cross-artifact traceability success criterion is measurable. A row is added or updated whenever an artifact instance is created or reviewed.

Coverage Notes

• - in Upstream means foundational (SA-001 has no prerequisite). In Downstream it means nothing is built on the instance yet. In Last Reviewed it means no RC-* exists (review records are not themselves reviewed).
• Types with no instance yet: KPI, BMC, BPMN, SSD, DM, OC, SD, DCD, ERD, GOV, DICT. The four P1 use case candidates are written as brief use cases (UC-001 to UC-004); the P2 and P3 candidates have no use case document yet.
• PP-001 and TM-001 have no QC checklist; RC-002 validated PP-001 against its Business Case constraints and the milestone Go / No-Go criteria. TM-001 has no review record.
• All review records are Accepted after S01 stood in for S05 on 2026-10-10. The author and S01 are the same person, so an independent review by S05 is still open (see RC-001).
