Turn readiness into a chain of accepted evidence.
Criteria define what must be true. Evidence proves it. Gates authorize activation. Decisions are made on proof — not red‑yellow‑green conjecture.
| Evidence | Criterion | Status |
|---|---|---|
| PSSR sign‑off record | Energization gate | Accepted |
| Egress load calc rev.4 | Life‑safety hard gate | Rejected |
| Operator competency log | Training readiness | Expired |
| Integrated test report | Acceptance gate | Missing |
| Survey readiness pack | Regulatory gate | Conditional |
A status report asserts readiness. CitiriOS proves it.
Spreadsheets, SharePoint, email, and consultant decks tell you a task is “green.” They can’t tell you the evidence was reviewed, is current, and satisfies the criterion a gate depends on. That gap is where openings slip.
Red‑yellow‑green status
- “Green” is someone’s opinion, not accepted proof.
- False greens and evidence that quietly expired.
- Gate authority is blurred — owner, regulator, and contract all look the same.
- No defensible record when a reviewer or auditor asks “show me.”
Governed evidence chain
- Every criterion is explicit and owned.
- Evidence is reviewed and current before it counts.
- Each gate’s authority is modeled and traceable.
- Every decision leaves an auditable trail.
Criteria → Evidence → Gates → Decision.
One chain that carries a launch from “what must be true” to an authorized, defensible activation — with the owner accountable at every link.
Every requirement that must be true — made explicit and owned.
Meet the needs of executives, stakeholders, and customers as governed criteria, not requirements buried in a spec. Each criterion has an owner and is tied to the people, assets, systems, and information required to satisfy it.
- C‑01Capture requirements as owned criteriaTurn functional and operational requirements into explicit criteria with a named owner and a clear “done means.”
- C‑02Tie criteria to what satisfies themLink each criterion to the people, assets, systems, and information that make it true — so nothing is orphaned.
- C‑03Require accepted evidence to closeA criterion isn’t met because someone says so — it’s met when reviewed, current evidence is accepted against it.
- C‑04Block the gate until satisfiedEssential and go/no‑go criteria hold the related gate, attestation, or transition until they’re satisfied or formally accepted.
Criteria are step 01 of the chain
Because everything downstream — evidence, gates, and the go/no‑go decision — resolves back to a criterion, getting criteria explicit and owned is the highest‑leverage move a readiness program makes.
Evidence counts only once it’s reviewed and current.
Move from “we should be ready” to a record of what is required, what evidence has been accepted, and what remains — consolidated out of spreadsheets and inboxes into one governed system of action. An integrated systems testing (IST) pass, for example, is accepted here as evidence for the RFS / beneficial‑use gate — witnessed and current — never counted just because the test ran.
Reviewed before it counts
Evidence moves requested → reviewed → accepted / rejected. Expired evidence stops counting automatically.
Evidence packs on demand
Generate an audit‑ready pack for a gate, regulator, lender, insurer, or acceptance event — traceable to accepted, current evidence.
One defensible record
An auditable history that becomes a legal and reputational shield when someone asks you to prove readiness.
Three kinds of gate. One activation decision.
An activation decision depends on distinct authorities. Owners can move their own gates — they cannot move the regulator’s. CitiriOS keeps the ladder separate, evidence‑backed, and traceable.
Readiness‑for‑service gates
A T‑minus gate ladder owned by the program — trials, training, integrated systems testing, and preparation accepted against criteria.
Statutory approval
Safety certification and regulator approval — cannot be overridden by the owner. CitiriOS organizes evidence to it; it does not grant it.
Acceptance & commencement
Owner or customer acceptance to begin operation, recorded with any residual conditions.
Replace “we should be ready” with an auditable go/no‑go.
Every gate decision is made on accepted evidence and recorded — with residual conditions, the authority who decided, and the criteria still open.
An auditable Ready Score
A service‑readiness index by domain that shows the binding constraint — not a status colour. Ready Score is a CitiriOS capability.
Decisions on the record
Go, go‑with‑conditions, or no‑go — captured with the deciding authority and any residual conditions carried forward.
A shield when it matters
An evidence‑backed decision history that stands up to reviewers, auditors, lenders, and — if it ever comes to it — counsel.
Opti surfaces the risk your team would catch next week — today.
Opti reads the same governed chain and flags false greens, aging blockers, and the decisions that need an owner — grounded in source evidence, with reasoning you can inspect.
