Quality Arbitration
Designing and running the gates that catch defects early.
Quality cannot be added at the end. Quality Arbitration moves quality upstream — into the moments when defects are cheap to find and cheaper to fix — by turning tacit standards into mechanical checks.

Core tasks
Gate specification
Write the Tier 5 specifications that define what each gate checks and how.
Tutorials
Gate implementation
Build or configure the automated mechanism that runs the check.
Tutorials
Gate operation
Ensure every artifact passes through its relevant gates before progressing.
Failure analysis
When gates reject artifacts, provide actionable feedback to the producer.
Gate maintenance
Revise gates as specifications evolve; retire gates that no longer reflect current expectations.
From knowing to running
Knowing SPEED and running it are two different things. When you're ready to practice the methodology inside a program that runs it, the implementor path is where you begin.
