Use Completion Criteria and Prototype Purpose to Move Work Forward

Move stalled work forward with explicit completion criteria and a defined review purpose. Replace universal sixty-percent advice with specific requirements and known gaps.

A prototype can explore a focused question, while public information retains necessary accuracy and quality.

Make the Completion Standard Explicit

Record recurring revisions and distinguish requirements from preferences. Assign review ownership and current references.

Compare required delivery with missing items before using the entire work allowance.

Choose the Question a Prototype Should Explore

GOV.UK’s alpha phase tests ideas with prototypes. (GOV.UK: Alpha) State incomplete operations and the question being explored.

Keep Review Prototypes Distinct from Public Delivery

Explain the prototype purpose and separately identify what is actually available.

Choose Necessary Revisions from Feedback

Record questions and missing decision information. Choose revisions meeting delivery requirements and plan later maintenance.

Keep public service descriptions aligned with current scope and accurate prices.
