| 3 | docs/ site builds (pnpm / npm per docs/package.json) | CI or local build log |
Configuration & secrets
Section titled “Configuration & secrets”| # | Criterion | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Root .env.example and docs/.env.example list names only | File review |
| 5 | Environment & integration matrix reviewed for your tenant | Signed row for each integration in use |
| 6 | No secrets in git history for inherited default branch | Secret scan report |
Documentation depth
Section titled “Documentation depth”| # | Criterion | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | New developers can follow Start guide for day-one orientation | Walkthrough with timestamps |

Optional but recommended
Section titled “Optional but recommended”| # | Criterion | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | Test evidence & CI linked from your pipeline | URL to workflow |
| 17 | ERD / diagram package attached to formal archive | Same as commercial handover |
