[[fxdemo:05-part:18-acceptance-criteria:start | Return to Acceptance Criteria ]]

Documentation satisfies Phase 0 acceptance when it explains the baseline clearly enough for developers, testers, reviewers, and demonstration participants to reproduce and review the implementation.

Documentation acceptance requires:

  - The handbook reflects the current Phase 0 baseline rules.
  - The README identifies setup, generation, build, run, stop, validation, and Evidence procedures.
  - The Node Catalogue identifies required Phase 0 [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Nodes]].
  - The Topic Catalogue identifies required Phase 0 topics.
  - Script documentation matches actual script behavior.
  - Configuration documentation identifies baseline [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]] and local override rules.
  - Tool checklist instances identify approved products, versions, roles, verification methods, and Evidence references.
  - Implementation decision records exist where the team has made significant tool, Repository, runtime, DDS, container, or build decisions.
  - Documentation uses consistent terminology, American English spelling, active voice, and the style rules defined in Section 7.11.
  - Documentation avoids unexplained abbreviations, personal notes, temporary comments, and machine-specific assumptions.
  - Documentation changes accompany implementation changes where required.
