FrameSpec
Structured problem definition artifact
Definition
Mechanism
A structured Spec of the Problem space, Constraints, and success criteria derived from a raw request via interpretation. It is an Artifact that acts as the contract defining the boundaries for execution.
Invariants
- Contains explicit, testable Constraints.
- States success criteria that are testable — an observation that would show the work succeeded.
Risks
Failure modes
Frozen contract, moved request
the request changed, the spec was not re-derived, and its Constraints stay authoritative.
