Chapter 9 Implementation Plan & Verification
I. Chapter Goals & Scope (Mandatory)
- Produce an executable implementation plan and verification scheme, aligned with Ch.4 (State Machine), Ch.5 (Option Comparison), Ch.6 (Impact Assessment), Ch.7 (Rollback Loop), and Ch.8 (Sign-off).
- Coverage: milestones, resources & roles, environments & configs, data & scripts, gates & monitoring, regression suites, pass lines, exports & audit.
II. Implementation Layers & Objects (Mandatory)
- Layers: Caliber/Equations (S/P), Process/Metrology (M), Implementation Binding (I), Data & Pipeline, Operations & Release.
- Objects: modules/interfaces/data contracts/regions/batches; must match Ch.8 Scope.
III. Milestones & Resource Plan (Mandatory)
- Milestones: M0 Plan Freeze → M1 Env Ready → M2 Implementation Done → M3 Verification Pass → M4 Archive/Release.
- Resources: people (roles/RACI), compute/storage, release window, replay/observation durations.
- Dependencies: external systems/anchors, third-party data, release windows, change freeze periods.
IV. Environments, Config & Change Control (Mandatory)
- Environments: dev/stage/prod (or equivalent topology); full-path changes use feature flags and progressive rollout.
- Config: parameters, thresholds, feature toggles, routing policies; all checked in with audit hashes.
- Change control: CR IDs, commits, rollback points (tags/snapshots), approvals linked to the Ch.4 state machine.
V. Data, Scripts & Reproducibility (Mandatory)
- Data: dataset versions, splits, de-identification, licenses, availability windows.
- Scripts: script@commit, container image, dependency lockfile; provide the minimal repro command.
- Reproducibility: third-party rerun in an independent environment; cross-env consistency ≥ configured floor.
VI. Verification Design & Gates (Mandatory)
- Naming: gate_<metric><comparator><threshold>@<window> (e.g., gate_accuracy>=0.99@7d, gate_latency<=2h@7d).
- Layered verification: unit / integration / system / replay / online-shadow; for each layer specify metrics, window, confidence, script locator.
- Evidence: data source, statistical method, CI_95%, script & data hashes, report ID; no forward progress if any hard gate fails.
VII. Regression Suite & Coverage (Mandatory)
- Suite: benchmarks, comparator scripts, health checks, fault injection.
- Coverage: function/path/data-distribution/boundary; report coverage and blind spots.
- Output: regression report (pass rate, failed samples, deep links).
VIII. Path/Formula Consistency (Mandatory)
- If implementation involves arrival-time criteria, use the unified forms:
- Constant factored: T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell )
- General form: T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell )
- Whenever T_arr appears, in the same or adjacent paragraph declare path gamma(ell) and measure d ell; all dimensional checks must pass check_dim.
- No mixing: T_fil ≠ T_trans, n ≠ n_eff, c ≠ c_ref; no Chinese in formulas/symbols/definitions.
IX. Human Implementation Checklist (Copy-ready)
- Goal & Scope: objects/versions/regions/batches
- Milestones: M0…M4 (dates/owners/done-criteria)
- Env & Config: domains/images/flags/params/thresholds/rollback tag
- Data & Scripts: datasets@version; scripts@commit; container images
- Verification & Gates: per-layer metrics/window/threshold/script locator
- Regression & Coverage: suites/coverage/fault injection
- Monitoring & Alerts: metrics/thresholds/escalation (T0→T3)
- Risk & Rollback: triggers/rollback scripts/recovery criteria (link Ch.7)
- Export & Audit: yaml/json/pdf; evidence hashes; archive location
- Sign-off & Rollout: sign page link; rollout pace & freeze windows
