EVT/DVT/PVT Gate Review

Q: How do I know the EVT/DVT/PVT Gate Review output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every criterion is scored pass/fail/no-data — no blanks, no assumed passes; Yield is reported with denominator, build population, and per-station breakdown; Every waiver has a class, a named owner, an expiry, and containment; The recommendation names its conditions explicitly — "conditional go" without conditions is a go.

Run an NPI phase-gate review for EVT, DVT, or PVT — exit criteria per phase, open-issue triage, yield readout, waiver discipline, and a go/no-go call. Use when asked to run a gate review, decide EVT exit or DVT entry, review build results, assess whether to proceed to the next build, or triage open issues before a phase gate. Produces a gate review document with criteria scoring, waiver register, yield analysis, and a defensible go/conditional-go/no-go recommendation.

What to give it

▸Which gate — EVT, DVT, or PVT exit (or entry to the next phase)

▸Build results — units built, units passing, failures by test station or symptom

▸Open issue list — bugs/defects with severity and status

▸Exit criteria — if the program has them; otherwise use the reference set below and say so

▸Schedule pressure — the real next-build date, so the recommendation is honest about trade-offs

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every criterion is scored pass/fail/no-data — no blanks, no assumed passes

✓Yield is reported with denominator, build population, and per-station breakdown

✓Every waiver has a class, a named owner, an expiry, and containment

✓The recommendation names its conditions explicitly — "conditional go" without conditions is a go

✓Failure Pareto covers the top failure modes, not just an aggregate number

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not report yield without the denominator and test-station breakdown — "92% yield" on 12 hand-carried units is not data

Do not let a waiver pass a gate without an owner and expiry date — expiry-less waivers become the product

Do not waive Class A (safety/regulatory) issues under any schedule pressure

Do not average yield across builds with different configurations

Do not let "conditional go" be a euphemism for go — unconditioned conditionals are the oldest gate trick
