| 4 | **Version:** 4.0 (COMPLETE) | ||
| 5 | **Status:** Authoritative Source | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | {{info}} | ||
| 8 | **Purpose:** This is the single source of truth for: | ||
| 9 | * Requirement-to-phase mapping | ||
| 10 | * Implementation levels (Basic → Enhanced → Complete) | ||
| 11 | * Importance and Urgency prioritization | ||
| 12 | * User Needs fulfillment by phase | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | All other documents reference this matrix rather than duplicating information. | ||
| 15 | {{/info}} | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | == Phase Definitions == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | |= Phase |= Goal |= Key Focus | ||
| 20 | | **POC1** | Prove AI can analyze claims automatically | Core workflow + quality gates + context-aware analysis (experimental) | ||
| 21 | | **POC2** | Improve reliability and robustness | Quality improvements, deduplication | ||
| 22 | | **Beta 0** | User testing with limited audience | Production readiness, user features, security | ||
| 23 | | **V1.0** | Public production launch | IFCN compliance, search visibility | ||
| 24 | | **V1.1** | First major feature expansion | Advanced capabilities | ||
| 25 | | **V1.5** | Media verification expansion | Image/video/audio verification, archive integration | ||
| 26 | | **V2.0** | Advanced capabilities | Comprehensive toolset | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | **Phase Philosophy:** Each phase builds on proven capabilities from previous phases. We validate AI quality before adding production features. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | == Requirement Categories == | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | **This matrix covers ALL requirements from the baseline:** | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | * \\ | ||
| 35 | ** \\ | ||
| 36 | **1. Functional Requirements (24 total) | ||
| 37 | * **FR1-FR13**: Core workflow and POC requirements | ||
| 38 | * **FR44-FR54**: Advanced features and future enhancements | ||
| 39 | * **FR14-FR43**: Numbers reserved (not used) | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | **2. Non-Functional Requirements (9 total)** | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | * **NFR1-NFR5**: Basic quality attributes (Performance, Scalability, Transparency, Security & Privacy, Maintainability) | ||
| 44 | * **NFR11-NFR14**: Formal quality, security, metrics, and LLM abstraction requirements | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | **3. User Needs (20 total)** | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | * **UN-1 to UN-28**: User requirements (with some gaps in numbering) | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | {{warning}} | ||
| 51 | **Future Requirement Numbering:** To avoid conflicts with existing requirements, new requirements will use: | ||
| 52 | * **FR55-FR84** for future functional requirements | ||
| 53 | * **NFR14-NFR18** for future non-functional requirements | ||
| 54 | * **UN-29 to UN-36** for future user needs | ||
| 55 | |||
