Purpose

Tracks backward/forward links between artifact instances so that the Business Case traceability target is measurable. A row is added or updated whenever an artifact instance is created or reviewed.

Traceability Table

PP-001	PP	BC-001, SA-001	MIL-001, MIL-002, MIL-003, MIL-004	RC-003
MIL-001	MIL	BC-001, PP-001	-	RC-004

Coverage Notes

• No use cases, user stories or design artifacts exist yet (UC-001 is planned for MIL-003).
• - in Upstream means foundational; in Downstream, nothing is built on it yet; in Last Reviewed, no RC-* exists yet.
