Validation Scoring

Scoring Framework

• Complete (): Requirement is fully met with high quality
• Partial (): Requirement is partially met but needs improvement
• Missing (): Requirement is not met and requires immediate attention

Quality Thresholds

• Excellent: 90-100% of requirements marked as Complete
• Good: 80-89% of requirements marked as Complete
• Acceptable: 70-79% of requirements marked as Complete
• Needs Improvement: Below 70% of requirements marked as Complete

Action Planning

For any requirements marked as Partial or Missing:

1. Identify Root Cause: Determine why the requirement is not fully met
2. Develop Action Plan: Create specific steps to address the gap
3. Assign Responsibility: Designate who will implement the improvements
4. Set Timeline: Establish realistic deadlines for completion
5. Monitor Progress: Track implementation and validate improvements

This comprehensive checklist ensures that memory management integration is thorough, effective, and continuously improving across all BMAD personas.
