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 is the foundation of the stakeholder IDs); in Downstream it means nothing is built on it yet (MIL-004 is the last gateway; the source code is listed per milestone in the PY rows); in Last Reviewed it means no RC-* exists.
• PP-001 has no RC-* because the Project Plan has no QC checklist; the Product Owner accepted it directly on 2026-10-08.
• The PY rows list the Python code each milestone added or changed, reviewed against QC-PY-001. Their records, RC-014 to RC-017, ended in Go on 2026-10-08; a - in Language and Domain is right for source code, a technical type.
• RC-018 checks the seven success criteria of BC-001 against the delivered repository, as the evidence for the gate of MIL-004. It ended in Go-with-conditions on 2026-10-08: criterion 5 is not met until the code is on main and on GitHub, and its first three action items are the conditions. A later record that names it re-checks them. Its conditions were re-checked in RC-019, which ended in Go on 2026-10-08, so the row lists RC-019 as the latest record.
• Each artifact lists its latest review record: the delta re-review (RC-008 to RC-013) of the first review (RC-001 to RC-006), or RC-007 for DICT-001. All of them ended in Go on 2026-10-07.
• S01 is the author and also the reviewer of every artifact. The review process does not allow this; S01 accepted the deviation in chat on 2026-10-07 because the project has one person and no governance document (GOV) exists.
• No instance exists yet for the types KPI, RA, BMC, BPMN, UCD, US, UC, DM, SSD, OC, SD, DCD, ERD, ADR, GOV or TRR. One of them matters for the open reviews: GOV (the rule that the reviewer is not the author).
