Tirsvad a1ff73580f Accept BC, SA, PP and MIL-001 after review
Review BC-001, SA-001, PP-001 and MIL-001 and record the results as
RC-001 to RC-004. All four verdicts are Go, so their Version History
rows become Accepted and the previous rows Deprecated. MIL-002 to
MIL-004 stay Proposed.

BC-001 failed criterion 1 (cost-benefit not justified as qualitative).
Add the justification and a target-completion constraint (2026-10-14)
that PP-001 and MIL-001 are checked against.

Add the Traceability Matrix (TM-001) and register RC and TM in the
artifact registry. PP has no QC checklist, so RC-003 checks the plan
against BC-001 and the milestones instead. Author and reviewer are
both S01, a deviation noted in each record.

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.

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.
