Return to Part 1 Requirements

Cross-concern relationships SHALL be Traceable when they affect meaning, Interpretation, governance, authority, auditability, or Evidence.

Part 1, Section 13.6: Separation of Concerns Requirements.

Cross-concern relationships that affect meaning, interpretation, governance, authority, auditability, or evidence require explicit traceability. These relationships affect how information receives meaning, how that meaning is applied, which authority governs decisions, and which evidence supports claims.

This requirement supports impact analysis, accountability, review, auditability, and defensibility.

This requirement applies to cross-concern relationships that affect governed, interpretive, or evidentiary concerns.

It applies specifically to relationships affecting:

• Meaning
• Interpretation
• Governance
• Authority
• Auditability
• Evidence

Verification SHALL confirm that cross-concern relationships are traceable when they affect meaning, interpretation, governance, authority, auditability, or evidence.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

• Affected cross-concern relationships identify the concerns involved
• Traceability links connect the relationship to meaning or interpretation
• Traceability links connect the relationship to governance or authority
• Traceability links connect the relationship to auditability or evidence
