Preserving Failure as a Product Requirement

A passing correction should not erase the failure that made the correction necessary.

Preserving Failure as a Product Requirement evidence diagram

Governing rule

Preserve the original failure, narrow the correction, and rerun the boundary.

Context

Across structural, extraction, and bridge trials, apparent success sometimes hid missing evidence or an untested integration boundary.

Current state

Original failures and corrected reruns remain paired in the record.

Current evidence

What the record supports.

Initial structural result
7 / 35
Corrected structural result
35 / 35
Extraction cases
6 / 6
  • Original failures remain visible
  • Corrections are scoped to the failed boundary
  • Promotion stays blocked when evidence is missing

Claim boundary

What remains unearned.

  • Not exhaustive validation
  • Not a production-security claim
  • Direct component success does not prove integration
