Game Delivery Evidence and Greenlight Pack

Use When

• A milestone, release, acceptance or capability claim needs traceable evidence.

Do Not Use When

• Evidence does not exist; prose cannot replace proof.
• This skill does not certify stores, security, access or law.

Required Inputs

Artefact	Source or provider	Required?	Behaviour when missing
Brief, traces, builds, manifests, risks and approvals	Product, engineering, QA and governance	Yes	Stop the gate and record missing evidence.
Player, learning, culture/rights, wellbeing, ads/privacy, commercial, security, access, platform and independent evidence	Specialist owners	Conditional	Mark claim not assessed or fail its gate.

Workflow

1. Inventory evidence by identity, source, version, owner, date and integrity.
2. Trace promise through requirements, architecture, implementation, tests, build and operations.
3. Check rights/culture, device, player/learning, online, security, access, data/economy/ads, commercial, release and support gates.
4. Separate documented, prototype-observed, build-executed, device-measured, player-observed, accountable-expert-approved and independently replicated evidence.
5. Pair commercial evidence with fairness, privacy, child safety, culture, wellbeing, trust, refunds/complaints and stopping; revenue or retention cannot override a failed guardrail.
6. Record greenlight, pivot, narrow, hold or stop with blockers, assumptions, waivers, approver, expiry and rollback.
7. Stop on fabricated, mismatched, source-shaped or copyright-unsafe evidence; recover by removing the claim and rerunning ingestion checks.

Outputs

Artefact	Consumer	Acceptance condition
Game evidence and greenlight pack	Sponsor, client, release board and auditor	Decisions link to inspectable evidence, gaps and approval.

Evidence Produced

Evidence	Reviewer	Acceptance condition
Evidence manifest and gate ledger	Independent reviewer	Identity, provenance, result, limitation and disposition are explicit.

Capability and permission boundaries

Read and search are allowed; review is read-only. Editing evidence, waiving blockers or approving release requires authority.

Degraded mode

Return the narrowest qualified report, mark unavailable checks not assessed, and never infer a pass.

Decision Rules

Choice or condition	Action	Failure or risk avoided
Build identity mismatches	Fail release gate.	Untested approval.
Prose exists without execution	Withhold proof credit.	Inflated maturity.
Waiver lacks expiry	Reject waiver.	Permanent exception.

Quality Standards

• Preserve negative results; world-class claims require reproducibility, independent review, failed paths and repeatability.

Anti-Patterns

• File count as maturity. Fix: grade execution.
• Screenshot without identity. Fix: link checksum.
• Self-approval. Fix: independent reviewers.
• Waiver without expiry. Fix: time-bound it.
• Inflated case study. Fix: cite evidence and limits.
• Documentation passed as player/device proof. Fix: grade every claim by the strongest matching evidence actually retained.
