Artifact Under Review

• Instance reviewed: BC-001
• Checklist used: QC-BC-001
• Scope: delta re-review of criteria 2, 3, 4 and 7 (the change adds objective O7, an In Scope bullet, an assumption, a constraint and success criterion 7); criteria 1, 5, 6 and 8 are re-read and unchanged. Earlier record: RC-081
• Language and domain: n/a for this delta (the action item of RC-067 about the Language and Domain rows is still open)
• Language reviewer: none
• Mode: supervised, not independent (the author, Jens Tirsvad Nielsen, asked in chat on 2026-10-19 for the acceptance and stands in for S01; the AI prepared the evidence)

Checklist Results

#	Criterion	Status	Evidence/Notes
1	ROI/Cost-Benefit analysis is quantitative, or where qualitative, is explicitly justified	Pass	Unchanged; the Cost-Benefit Assessment labels its qualitative form.
2	Risks are identified with documented impact and mitigation	Pass	The delivery risk (the check wrongly flags a correct comment, or misses a Danish or Malay one) is a plan risk in PP-001 with a mitigation: a measured corpus before the build, an exception marker and an allowed-words file.
3	Success criteria are measurable, stating explicit targets rather than vague aspirations	Pass	Criterion 7: "0 after MIL-013" non-English comments reaching the default branch of a repository that calls the check, measured by the check's run on the default branch and a throwaway pull request that cannot be merged.
4	Scope explicitly separates In Scope vs Out of Scope	Pass	"A shared workflow that checks that comments in source code are in English and tells the author (MIL-013)" is a new In Scope bullet. Out of Scope is unchanged and does not contradict it: "application code of consuming repositories" stays out because the check only reads comments and reports them, and changes nothing in the consuming repository; "operating the Gitea instance or runners" stays out because branch protection is set by S01 or S03, as the new assumption says.
5	Stakeholders are cross-referenced to Stakeholder Analysis IDs rather than re-described inline	Pass	Unchanged; the new assumption names S01 and S03.
6	Methodology and quality-standard foundation are stated explicitly (e.g. ISO/IEC 25010, Larman)	Pass	Unchanged.
7	Assumptions and constraints are explicit and clearly distinguished from one another	Pass	The assumption (S03 provides a token that may comment on pull requests; S01 or S03 mark the check required) and the constraint (no source text leaves the instance, the token never appears in a log) are in their own sections.
8	Document supports executive decision-making with a clear, unambiguous recommendation	Pass	Unchanged: Proceed.

Overall Verdict

Go - all eight criteria pass for the revision that adds objective O7, its scope item, assumption, constraint and success criterion 7. The author confirmed the acceptance in chat on 2026-10-19 as stand-in for S01; there is no independent reader and the decision stays open to challenge.

Action Items

Action	Owner	Due
The Metadata table of BC-001 has no Language and Domain rows (QC-LANG-001 criterion 1); this predates this change and is carried over from RC-067. Add the rows or record in an ADR why they are not needed	S01	Before the next material change to BC-001
