OR-001 — Operation by Identified User Categories

Original Requirement

The system SHALL support operation by: Developers DevSecOps Engineers Platform Engineers System Administrators Security Engineers Compliance Officers[C1]

Assessment of Original Requirement

The Original Requirement preserves the approved intent that the identified categories participate in Crucible operation, but it does not express independently testable normative statements.

The following Specification Discipline and Authoring findings apply:

The system does not use the defined system name CrucibleSupport is a weak verb that does not identify an observable Crucible behaviorOperation does not identify the Crucible operations associated with the listed categoriesOperation by does not identify the relationship between each listed category and each Crucible operationThe Original Requirement does not identify which Crucible operations are allocated to each listed categoryThe Original Requirement does not identify whether every listed category participates in the same Crucible operationsThe Original Requirement does not identify the interfaces through which each listed category interacts with CrucibleThe Original Requirement does not identify the inputs provided by each listed categoryThe Original Requirement does not identify the outputs received or reviewed by each listed categoryThe Original Requirement does not identify an acceptance condition for operation by each listed categoryThe Original Requirement combines six independently testable categories within one normative statementCrucible can satisfy the requirement for one listed category while failing to satisfy it for anotherThe Original Requirement does not provide separate requirement identifiers for verification and Traceability of each listed categoryThe word operation is grammatically valid as a mass noun describing the general act of operating Crucible. For requirements purposes, however, the word does not identify an observable Crucible behavior.

Changing operation to operations would indicate that multiple actions exist, but pluralization alone would not identify those actions or associate them with the listed categories.

The Original Requirement identifies:

DevelopersDevSecOps EngineersPlatform EngineersSystem AdministratorsSecurity EngineersCompliance OfficersThe decomposition treats these categories as proposed Crucible roles so that Crucible operations can be allocated and verified separately for each role.

The Original Requirement does not define these roles or identify the controlling source that allocates Crucible operations to them.

The Original Requirement therefore requires:

Replacement of the system with the defined system name CrucibleReplacement of support with an observable Crucible behaviorClassification or definition of each listed categoryIdentification of the Crucible operations allocated to each proposed roleSeparation of the six independently testable rolesSeparate requirement identifiers for verification and TraceabilityConfirmation that the derived requirements collectively preserve the complete intent of OR-001The decomposition preserves OR-001 as the stable parent requirement identifier. Each proposed replacement requirement receives a lettered identifier and a separate leaf requirement page.

Proposed Statements

The Original Requirement requires separate treatment of the following independently testable proposed roles:

Each child requirement:

Identifies Crucible as the responsible actorIdentifies one proposed Crucible roleRequires Crucible to perform each Crucible operation allocated to that roleSupports independent verification of the operations allocated to that rolePreserves Traceability to OR-001Records unresolved role definitions and operation-allocation sources as issuesDoes not define a role-assignment mechanismDoes not define a role-based authorization modelDoes not allocate permissionsDoes not establish that every Crucible operation is allocated to every role

Requirement Status

Issues

The following unresolved issues affect the decomposition of OR-001:

Notes for Editors

This page should retain the stable parent requirement identifier OR-001.

This page is a non-leaf requirement page and retains a trailing :start in its namespace.

The child requirements are leaf requirement pages and omit a trailing :start from their namespaces.

This page preserves:

The Original RequirementThe assessment of the Original RequirementThe reason for decompositionTraceability to the proposed replacement requirementsThe unresolved cross-cutting issues affecting the decompositionThe supersession decisionThe child requirements introduce proposed role names only to provide a precise allocation target for Crucible operations. The proposed role names do not establish:

A role-assignment mechanismA role-based authorization modelAn access-control modelPermission allocationMultiple-role assignmentRole-assignment removalRecording of an authorizing roleThe Original Requirement should not be marked as superseded until the requirement owner:

Approves the classification of the listed categories as Crucible rolesApproves the six child requirementsConfirms that the child requirements collectively preserve the complete approved intent of OR-001Confirms that no additional child requirements are requiredAfter supersession, this page should remain as the parent Traceability record and should continue to preserve the Original Requirement and its assessment.

Material changes to the decomposition should update the child requirements, Requirement Status, Issues, and Traceability records.
