Quality Validation
Six Quality Characteristics
- Accuracy: Factually correct, technically sound, current | Validation: expert review, automated testing
- Completeness: All necessary info present for doc type | Validation: checklist, gap analysis
- Clarity: Easy to understand, logical flow, appropriate level | Validation: Flesch 70-80
- Consistency: Uniform terminology, formatting, structure | Validation: style guide compliance
- Correctness: Proper grammar, spelling, punctuation | Validation: automated check, zero errors
- Usability: User achieves goal efficiently | Validation: task success, DIVIO type purpose served
Quality Gate Thresholds
| Metric | Threshold | |--------|-----------| | Readability (Flesch) | 70-80 | | Spelling errors | 0 | | Broken links | 0 | | Style compliance | 95%+ | | Type purity | 80%+ single type |
Type-Specific Validation Checklists
Tutorial Checklist
- [ ] Completable without external references | [ ] Steps numbered and sequential
- [ ] Each step has verifiable outcome | [ ] No assumed prior knowledge | [ ] Builds confidence
How-to Checklist
- [ ] Clear goal stated upfront | [ ] Assumes fundamentals known
- [ ] Single task focus | [ ] Ends with completion indicator | [ ] No basics teaching
Reference Checklist
- [ ] All parameters documented | [ ] Return values specified
- [ ] Error conditions listed | [ ] Examples per entry | [ ] No narrative
Explanation Checklist
- [ ] Addresses "why" not "what" | [ ] Provides context and reasoning
- [ ] Discusses alternatives | [ ] No task steps | [ ] Builds conceptual model
Verdict Criteria
- approved: Passes all type-specific validation, no collapse violations, meets quality gates
- needs-revision: Minor issues fixable in place (clarity, missing examples, small gaps)
- restructure-required: Collapse detected requiring split, or fundamental type mismatch
