The question is agreed before the answer is written.
Agreed question, deadline and horizon, with an approved design before work starts.
How it works
A commissioner and analyst agree the question, deadline and horizon, then approve the analytical design. The commission stays linked to the requirement behind it and to the product that answers it, and closes on explicit commissioner sign-off.
Boundaries
Commissioner, analyst and independent assurer decisions remain separate. Material changes to the question or scope require reassessment rather than a quiet redefinition.
