# Specification Quality Checklist: Production-Ready Dashboard with Design System
**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2025-10-14
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
## Content Quality
- [X] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
- **Status**: PASS - Specification focuses on user outcomes, not implementation
- **Evidence**: Mentions shadcn/ui and Tailwind in context of user request but success criteria are technology-agnostic
- [X] Focused on user value and business needs
- **Status**: PASS - All user stories describe business value and user outcomes
- **Evidence**: "Property managers access a modern, professional dashboard", "view accurate API usage metrics"
- [X] Written for non-technical stakeholders
- **Status**: PASS - Language is accessible, avoids technical jargon in requirements
- **Evidence**: Requirements use clear business language like "Dashboard MUST display all pages without visual errors"
- [X] All mandatory sections completed
- **Status**: PASS - User Scenarios, Requirements, Success Criteria all present and complete
- **Evidence**: All template mandatory sections filled with substantive content
## Requirement Completeness
- [X] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
- **Status**: PASS - Zero clarification markers in the spec
- **Evidence**: Full text search reveals no [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers
- [X] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- **Status**: PASS - Each requirement has clear pass/fail criteria
- **Evidence**: FR-001 "MUST display all pages without visual errors", FR-002 "MUST display current month's API request count"
- [X] Success criteria are measurable
- **Status**: PASS - All success criteria include specific metrics
- **Evidence**: SC-001 "100% of pages render correctly", SC-002 "within 2 seconds", SC-006 "95% task completion rate"
- [X] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- **Status**: PASS - Success criteria describe user-facing outcomes, not technical implementations
- **Evidence**: SC-001 focuses on "visual errors", not "React component errors" or "CSS bugs"
- [X] All acceptance scenarios are defined
- **Status**: PASS - Each user story has 4 Given-When-Then scenarios
- **Evidence**: User Story 1 has 4 scenarios, User Story 2 has 5 scenarios
- [X] Edge cases are identified
- **Status**: PASS - 6 edge cases listed covering zero states, errors, and extreme values
- **Evidence**: "What happens when a user with no data views the usage page", "How does dashboard handle extremely long organization names"
- [X] Scope is clearly bounded
- **Status**: PASS - Out of Scope section explicitly excludes 9 features
- **Evidence**: "Dark mode theme support", "Advanced data visualization", "Multi-language internationalization" all listed as out of scope
- [X] Dependencies and assumptions identified
- **Status**: PASS - 10 assumptions documented, dependencies section includes external, internal, and blocking deps
- **Evidence**: Assumptions cover tech stack choices, Constraints section lists time/compatibility limits
## Feature Readiness
- [X] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
- **Status**: PASS - Functional requirements map to acceptance scenarios in user stories
- **Evidence**: FR-002 (usage page metrics) → User Story 2, Scenario 1-2
- [X] User scenarios cover primary flows
- **Status**: PASS - 4 user stories cover dashboard polish (P1), usage page fix (P1), component library (P2), navigation (P2)
- **Evidence**: P1 stories are production blockers, P2 stories enhance developer experience
- [X] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- **Status**: PASS - 8 success criteria map directly to functional requirements and user stories
- **Evidence**: SC-001 (pages render) → FR-001 (display pages), SC-002 (load time) → FR-004 (loading states)
- [X] No implementation details leak into specification
- **Status**: PASS - Notes section explains tech choices (shadcn/ui rationale) but spec body remains implementation-agnostic
- **Evidence**: Requirements use "Dashboard MUST" not "React component MUST", "Users can navigate" not "Next.js router MUST"
## Overall Assessment
**Status**: ✅ **READY FOR PLANNING**
All checklist items pass validation. The specification is:
- **Complete**: All mandatory sections filled with substantive content
- **Clear**: Requirements are testable, unambiguous, and written for non-technical stakeholders
- **Bounded**: Scope, dependencies, and assumptions clearly documented
- **Measurable**: Success criteria include specific metrics (time, percentage, completion rate)
- **User-focused**: All requirements describe user value, not technical implementation
## Notes
### Strengths
1. **Excellent prioritization**: P1 (production blockers) vs P2 (enhancements) clearly distinguished
2. **Comprehensive edge cases**: Covers zero states, errors, extreme values, accessibility
3. **Realistic assumptions**: Documents tech stack choices with rationale (shadcn/ui benefits)
4. **Risk mitigation**: Identifies technical/UX/deployment risks with specific mitigation strategies
5. **Clear constraints**: Time pressure (2-3 days), compatibility requirements, performance targets
### No Issues Found
All validation items passed on first check. No spec updates required before proceeding to `/speckit.plan` or `/speckit.clarify`.
### Next Steps
1. Proceed to `/speckit.plan` to create implementation plan
2. Or use `/speckit.clarify` if additional questions arise during planning
3. Specification is production-ready and can guide development immediately
