  • Workload scope and KPI targets are explicit.

  • Environment metadata is locked and reproducible.

  • Mechanism classification is evidence-backed.

  • Owner and rollback conditions are documented.

  • Validation matrix covers correctness, perf, and power.

  • Owners signed: firmware owner, platform software lead, security architect, board bring-up owner, validation owner.
