Continuation readiness

Not ready to continue

Critical continuation fields are missing. Fill those before another actor relies on this record.

One bounded next action existsRequired · 12 pointsGive the next actor a concrete verb and one result to produce or verify.

Receiver verification is requiredSupporting · 8 pointsTell the receiver to re-read current evidence or reproduce one material result before acting.

A score is not proof

Field presence comes before factual verification

The checker uses deterministic, inspectable heuristics. It cannot prove that evidence is current, a claim is true, or an actor has the required access. The receiving identity must still inspect the sources and reproduce one material result.

Direct answer

How do you know whether an AI handoff is ready?

An AI handoff is ready for receiver verification when it records the objective, observable success condition, current and uncertain state, decisions with rationale, inspectable evidence, constraints, one bounded next action, and a named owner. Readiness does not mean the record is true; the receiver must verify current evidence before continuing.
