# Specification Quality Checklist: Grand Unified KGC Thesis

**Feature Branch**: `012-grand-unified-kgc-thesis`
**Spec File**: `specs/012-grand-unified-kgc-thesis/spec.md`
**Validated**: 2025-12-16

## Quality Criteria Validation

### 1. Completeness Checks

- [x] **User scenarios cover all major use cases** - 6 user stories covering thesis generation, theorem proofs, temporal semantics, information theory, case study validation, and hooks documentation
- [x] **Each scenario has clear acceptance criteria** - Each story has 3 acceptance scenarios with Given/When/Then format
- [x] **Edge cases are identified** - 6 edge cases documented (circular refs, incomplete specs, embedding limits, temporal resolution, empty SPARQL results, conflicting definitions)
- [x] **Functional requirements are exhaustive** - 15 FRs covering LaTeX generation, math notation, cross-references, equations, theorems, bibliography, algorithms, figures, tables, incremental regen, ordering, escaping, appendices, chapters, preamble
- [x] **Success criteria are measurable** - 10 SCs with specific metrics (100 pages, 20+ equations, 10+ theorems, 30+ references, <10s generation, byte-identical output)
- [x] **Dependencies are documented** - 6 dependencies listed (ggen v5, @unrdf/hooks, @unrdf/kgc-4d, Oxigraph, Tera, LaTeX)

### 2. Clarity Checks

- [x] **Requirements use unambiguous language** - MUST/SHALL terminology used consistently
- [x] **Technical terms are defined or referenced** - Key entities section defines all 12 entities with their properties and relationships
- [x] **Acceptance scenarios are testable** - Each scenario can be verified by running ggen sync and compiling LaTeX
- [x] **Priority levels are consistent** - P1 for core thesis, P2 for theoretical extensions, P3 for case studies and validation

### 3. Consistency Checks

- [x] **User stories align with functional requirements** - US1 (thesis doc) → FR-001,003,011,014; US2 (proofs) → FR-002,004,005; US3 (4D temporal) → FR-007; US4 (info theory) → FR-004; US5 (case study) → FR-009; US6 (hooks) → FR-007
- [x] **Success criteria map to requirements** - SC-001 (compile) → FR-001,003; SC-002 (100 pages) → FR-011,014; SC-003 (equations) → FR-004; etc.
- [x] **No conflicting requirements** - Requirements are complementary, building on existing thesis-gen patterns

### 4. Feasibility Checks

- [x] **Technical requirements are achievable** - Builds on proven thesis-gen infrastructure with 1646-line ontology as template
- [x] **Dependencies are available** - All packages at specified versions (ggen v5, @unrdf/* v5.0.1)
- [x] **Success criteria thresholds are realistic** - Metrics based on existing thesis-gen output (100+ pages achievable)

### 5. Traceability Checks

- [x] **Each requirement can be traced to user need** - FR-001 to FR-015 derived from US-001 to US-006
- [x] **Each success criterion has a verification method** - SC-001 via pdflatex, SC-002 via page count, SC-003 via equation numbering, etc.
- [x] **Assumptions are explicit** - 6 assumptions documented (LaTeX class, figure sources, package versions, template extension, reader background, case study ontology)

## Validation Summary

| Category | Status | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|
| Completeness | ✅ Pass | All major aspects covered |
| Clarity | ✅ Pass | Unambiguous terminology |
| Consistency | ✅ Pass | Aligned requirements and criteria |
| Feasibility | ✅ Pass | Builds on proven infrastructure |
| Traceability | ✅ Pass | Full requirement traceability |

## Readiness Assessment

**SPECIFICATION STATUS**: ✅ **READY FOR PLANNING**

The specification is complete and validated. Ready for:
- `/speckit.clarify` - Optional refinement (low priority - spec is comprehensive)
- `/speckit.plan` - **Recommended next step** - Generate implementation plan

## Key Entities Summary

| Entity | Properties | Relationships |
|--------|------------|---------------|
| Thesis | title, author, institution, date, abstract | → chapters, references, appendices |
| Chapter | orderIndex, title, labelId, abstract | → sections |
| Section | orderIndex, title, content | → subsections, theorems, equations, figures, tables, algorithms |
| Theorem | theoremType, statement, proof, labelId | references prior lemmas/definitions |
| Equation | latex, description, labelId | numbered in sequence |
| Algorithm | title, input, output, steps | → ordered steps |
| Figure | caption, imagePath, width, position | labeled for cross-ref |
| Table | caption, headers, rows | → TableRow → cells |
| Reference | citeKey, bibType, author, title, year | BibTeX fields |
| Appendix | letter, title, content | → code listings |

## Implementation Risks

| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Complex LaTeX cross-references | Use consistent labelId pattern, test compilation |
| Hyperdimensional math notation | Define standard notation in preamble |
| Large ontology (2000+ triples) | Verify <10s SLO with incremental testing |
| Bibliography formatting | Use BibTeX with standard styles |
