====== GPR-005 — Precise and Functionally Complete Submission ======

[[public:00-sip-ra:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:start|Go to Annex C: Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

The Submission SHALL be precise and functionally complete.

===== Requirement Level =====

Mandatory

===== Rationale =====

A precise Submission defines its normative concepts, relationships, constraints, behaviors, and conformance conditions without material ambiguity.

A functionally complete Submission addresses the capabilities and responsibilities within the scope of the RFP with sufficient detail to support technical evaluation, independent implementation, and conformance assessment.

===== Evaluation Criteria =====

A conforming Submission demonstrates that:

  - Normative concepts and architectural constructs are identified and defined
  - Relationships among normative constructs are specified
  - Applicable constraints and conditions are stated
  - Required architectural responsibilities are allocated
  - Behavior relevant to implementation and conformance can be determined
  - Mandatory requirements are addressed
  - Required specification sections and normative artifacts are included
  - Undefined terms, unresolved placeholders, and contradictory statements do not prevent implementation
  - Normative and nonnormative material can be distinguished
  - Independent implementers can determine the capabilities and responsibilities required by the specification
  - Conformance assessors can determine whether the applicable requirements are satisfied

===== Notes for Editors =====

Functional completeness applies to the scope established by the RFP. It does not require a Submission to define capabilities explicitly identified as out of scope.

GPR-005 applies to the complete Submission. SIP-042 applies specifically to the completeness of the proposed Reference Architecture specification. SIP-048 applies specifically to the formal precision of its Platform Independent Model.
