Reproducibility rule for client-facing numbers
Script-and-commit rule
RECOMMENDED
- Status
- RECOMMENDED — awaiting Vinayak
- Options
- Require a named script and commit for every figure; or a review step before sales material goes out
- Trade-offs
- Credibility with sceptical buyers vs speed of sales material
- Recommendation
- Every client-facing number names the script and commit that reproduces it. No script, no number.
- Why
- At least one client-facing figure today has no committed script (section 2.3).
- Evidence
- section 2.3 client-facing model numbers; the same rule now applies to the running-cost estimate.
- Reversible
- Yes, but reversing it costs credibility.
- Blocks
- Sales material.
