Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers. No surprises. No hidden fine print.
What does "AC green" mean?
Acceptance Criteria green = all tests in AC.md pass. These are executable tests (Playwright, PyTest, etc.) with specific pass/fail conditions. You can run them yourself to verify. When CI shows green and performance thresholds are met, we invoice.
What if I need to change scope after we start?
We route every scope change through Change Control (CHG-130):
- Swap: Replace with equal/lower complexity → €0, same milestone
- Add: New features beyond original scope → new milestone, priced separately
You choose. You approve pricing before we proceed. No surprise costs.
What if I don't like the Evidence Sprint result?
No obligation to continue. You keep the demo, code, and documentation. If you paid a deposit, you've already received working software for it.
How do I know the tests are real and not rigged?
The Verification section in AC.md includes the exact command and seed data. Run the tests yourself. CI logs are public (if you want them). We can do a live walkthrough before you pay.
Can I see progress before it's done?
Yes. Evidence Sprint shows working demo + quantified deltas in 2–5 days. You're not waiting in the dark until final delivery.
