Investigate quality nonconformance

Record, triage, and track quality failures (bugs/flakes/regressions) to earliest-gate pattern

Quality audits that route each failure to its earliest-possible prevention gate and prevent repeat failures

• · failure log
• · gate location
• · root-cause hypothesis

• · nonconformance ticket
• · gate assignment
• · prevention rule

Failure classified; gate identified

• · Root cause misdiagnosed
• · Same failure repeats in same gate
• · Prevention rule too broad

• · Gate classification discipline
• · Root-cause analysis per failure
• · Prevention rule tracking
