# Release Readiness
Treat release readiness as a **candidate-specific production decision**, not a repository quality score and not a generic checklist. Optimize against false-positive `GO`: missing scope, omitted gates, stale evidence, environment mismatch, and unapproved risk must reduce confidence or block the verdict rather than disappear from scoring.
## Non-negotiable invariants
1. Tie every verdict to an exact release candidate and target environment.
2. Separate **weighted readiness** from **binding gates**. Never average away a blocker.
3. Prove **scope completeness** before accepting a complete gate set.
4. Derive required gates from profile + risk flags; do not let omitted checks create a false green result.
5. Require candidate-bound, temporally admissible evidence for binding passes.
6. Treat `N/A` as exclusion with rationale, never as credit.
7. Separate `PASS_WITH_CONTROLS` from explicit `ACCEPTED_RISK`.
8. Keep governance gates (`legal`, `privacy`, etc.) outside majority/scoring logic.
9. Re-run the verdict after any material red-team finding or evidence downgrade.
10. Treat a readiness verdict as assessment evidence, **not authorization to deploy or perform side effects**.
## Workflow
Follow this sequence:
1. **Identify the release candidate.** Capture release/build ID, artifact identity, target environment, `as_of`, and change set.
2. **Select profile and mode.** Use `references/risk-routing.md`.
3. **Complete the risk scope.** Resolve every required r
