Read / explore ↗Write a requirement that can be supplied and checked
A specification brief should identify the intended application, supplied product and evidence needed for review. Descriptive language is useful only when the reader can distinguish a preference, a measurable requirement and an unresolved selection.
Tie the requirement to its verification
For each material or interface requirement, identify the document, sample, drawing or other evidence expected. State the relevant condition and the responsible review step. A broad species label does not resolve grade, milling, moisture basis or the fastening interface.
Preserve the boundary of acceptance
A sample can record an appearance decision without approving every production variation or technical condition. A substitution should be compared against the actual requirements, with deviations and missing evidence retained. Do not convert a submitted document into an accepted requirement simply because it is present.
Example: changing the proposed profile
A proposed substitution retains the species but changes the profile. Revisit coverage, adjoining details and the fastening interface, and request the supporting drawing. The unchanged species name does not establish that the original assembly requirements are still met.
