Agree the acceptance criteria
Identify the important user journeys, output formats, review criteria and operational checks before delivery begins.
Use the right test evidence
Software, AI, creative work and learning need different forms of evaluation. State the scope, environment, examples and limitations of the review.
Make remaining risk visible
Document untested areas, unresolved defects, dependencies and recommended follow-up work. Do not replace this with a zero-risk promise.
Keep the handover practical
Check that the receiving team can access, understand and operate the deliverable within the agreed scope.
