    What this page is

    This is generated FPF reference text from the specification preface or supporting sections. It helps interpret FPF; it is not FPF Reference product documentation.

    Methodology

    Use it to understand how the specification wants to be read, then return to a route, pattern, or work packet for active work. Cite generated IDs only when the wording changes the task decision.

    Content

    • Situation and question. A named object version should improve, but evaluation purpose, quality family, scales, proposal effect, or repeated-loop need may still be unsettled. Ask which prerequisite for improvement is missing now.
    • Template A. E.22 Solution -> QualityEvaluationQuestionFrame. Select first when evaluation purpose, floor or improvement aim, protected trade-offs, expected evidence basis, or expected result form is not yet agreed.
    • Template B. C.25 Solution -> Q-Bundle. Select when a composite engineering quality family needs a bearer, components, measures, scope, mechanisms, status, and evidence relation.
    • Template C. A.19.ECS Solution -> EvaluationCharacteristicSpaceSpec. Select when the object-specific coordinates, scales, comparators, and evidence rules needed for evaluation do not yet exist.
    • Template D. E.23 Solution -> QualityImprovementLoopRecord. Select only when the object version and evaluation basis exist and repeated proposal, change, coordinate-qualified re-evaluation, and loop decision are current.
    • Boundaries. Stop at the smallest missing frame, Q-Bundle, evaluation specification, or completed local loop record. Return when object version, evaluation purpose, Q components, scale, comparison set, evidence basis, expected result change, or protected trade-offs change. "Repeat until better" is not a loop method until better is evaluable on declared coordinates.
    • Public coarsening. "Improvement frame" restores to the exact result under its prerequisite condition.
