All links must be publicly accessible (annotate `[login required]` if not), citations must include exact section/page/timestamp, and unverifiable information must be annotated `[limited source]`. Full checklist in `references/quality-checklists.md`. ## Quality Checklist -Before completing the solution draft, check the following items: - -### General Quality - -- [ ] All core conclusions have L1/L2 tier factual support -- [ ] No use of vague words like "possibly", "probably" without annotating uncertainty -- [ ] Comparison dimensions are complete with no key differences missed -- [ ] At least one real use case validates conclusions -- [ ] References are complete with accessible links -- [ ] **Every citation can be directly verified by the user (source verifiability)** -- [ ] Structure hierarchy is clear; executives can quickly locate information - -### Mode A Specific - -- [ ] **Phase 1 completed**: AC assessment was presented to and confirmed by user -- [ ] **AC assessment consistent**: Solution draft respects the (possibly adjusted) acceptance criteria and restrictions -- [ ] **Competitor analysis included**: Existing solutions were researched -- [ ] **All components have comparison tables**: Each component lists alternatives with tools, advantages, limitations, security, cost -- [ ] **Tools/libraries verified**: Suggested tools actually exist and work as described -- [ ] **Testing strategy covers AC**: Tests map to acceptance criteria -- [ ] **Tech stack documented** (if Phase 3 ran): `tech_stack.md` has evaluation tables, risk assessment, and learning requirements -- [ ] **Security analysis documented** (if Phase 4 ran): `security_analysis.md` has threat model and per-component controls - -### Mode B Specific - -- [ ] **Findings table complete**: All identified weak points documented with solutions -- [ ] **Weak point categories covered**: Functional, security, and performance assessed -- [ ] **New draft is self-contained**: Written as if from scratch, no "updated" markers -- [ ] **Performance column included**: Mode B comparison tables include performance characteristics -- [ ] **Previous draft issues addressed**: Every finding in the table is resolved in the new draft - -### ⏰ Timeliness Check (High-Sensitivity Domain BLOCKING) - -When the research topic has 🔴 Critical or 🟠 High sensitivity level, **the following checks must be completed**: - -- [ ] **Timeliness sensitivity assessment completed**: `00_question_decomposition.md` contains a timeliness assessment section -- [ ] **Source timeliness annotated**: Every source has publication date, timeliness status, version info -- [ ] **No outdated sources used as factual evidence**: - - 🔴 Critical: Core fact sources are all within 6 months - - 🟠 High: Core fact sources are all within 1 year -- [ ] **Version numbers explicitly annotated**: - - Technical product/API/SDK descriptions all annotate specific version numbers - - No vague time expressions like "latest version" or "currently" -- [ ] **Official sources prioritized**: Core conclusions have support from official documentation/blogs -- [ ] **Cross-validation completed**: Key technical information confirmed from at least 2 independent sources -- [ ] **Download page directly verified**: Platform support info comes from real-time extraction of official download pages, not search caches -- [ ] **Protocol/feature names searched**: Searched for product-supported protocol names (MCP, ACP, etc.) -- [ ] **GitHub Issues mined**: Reviewed product's GitHub Issues popular discussions -- [ ] **Community hotspots identified**: Identified and recorded feature points users care most about - -**Typical community voice oversight error cases**: - -> Wrong: Relying solely on official docs, MCP briefly mentioned as a regular feature in the report -> Correct: Discovered through GitHub Issues that MCP is the most hotly discussed feature in the community, expanded analysis of its value in the report - -> Wrong: "Both Alma and Cherry Studio support MCP" (no difference analysis) -> Correct: Discovered through community discussion that "Alma's MCP implementation is highly consistent with Claude Code — this is its core competitive advantage" - -**Typical platform support/protocol oversight error cases**: - -> Wrong: "Alma only supports macOS" (based on search engine cached "Coming soon" info) -> Correct: Directly visited alma.now/download page to verify currently supported platforms - -> Wrong: "Alma supports MCP" (only searched MCP, missed ACP) -> Correct: Searched both "Alma MCP" and "Alma ACP", discovered Alma also supports ACP protocol integration for CLI tools - -**Typical timeliness error cases**: - -> Wrong: "Claude supports function calling" (no version annotated, may refer to old version capabilities) -> Correct: "Claude 3.5 Sonnet (claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022) supports function calling via Tool Use API, with a maximum of 8192 tokens for tool definitions" - -> Wrong: "According to a 2023 blog post, GPT-4's context length is 8K" -> Correct: "As of January 2024, GPT-4 Turbo supports 128K context (Source: OpenAI official documentation, updated 2024-01-25)" - -### ⚠️ Target Audience Consistency Check (BLOCKING) - -This is the most easily overlooked and most critical check item: - -- [ ] **Research boundary clearly defined**: `00_question_decomposition.md` has clear population/geography/timeframe/level boundaries -- [ ] **Every source has target audience annotated**: `01_source_registry.md` has "Target Audience" and "Research Boundary Match" fields for each source -- [ ] **Mismatched sources properly handled**: - - Completely mismatched sources were not included - - Partially overlapping sources have annotated applicable scope - - Reference-only sources are explicitly annotated -- [ ] **No audience confusion in fact cards**: Every fact in `02_fact_cards.md` has a target audience consistent with the research boundary -- [ ] **No audience confusion in the report**: Policies/research/data cited in the solution draft have target audiences consistent with the research topic - -**Typical error case**: -> Research topic: "University students not paying attention in class" -> Wrong citation: "In October 2025, the Ministry of Education banned phones in classrooms" -> Problem: That policy targets K-12 students, not university students -> Consequence: Readers mistakenly believe the Ministry of Education banned university students from carrying phones — severely misleading +Before completing the solution draft, run through the checklists in `references/quality-checklists.md`.
