How it works

Give the work a method. Then examine it.

Start with a question or existing material, work through a business analysis playbook, and read the review findings. A person decides what the result means and what is ready to move forward.

Methods belong in the work

A method is useful only when it changes what you do.

Business analysis methods and requirements standards offer useful criteria. Applying them consistently to a real, messy brief takes work.

Kryterea puts guided steps and review criteria in the workspace. Findings make a weakness visible while you can still improve the result.

The loop

The work gets stronger each time it is checked.

Follow an illustrative requirement from first draft to human decision. Available stages vary by pilot release and workspace.

The starting point

A request becomes a requirement.

A first pass gives the team something specific to examine.

Illustrative criteria library

What a useful review might examine.

These sample criteria show the intended approach across document types. Business analysis is the first deep capability; this browser is illustrative, not a catalogue of live modules.

The gate explains a gap.

"Not ready" is useless on its own. "Not ready because three acceptance criteria use subjective language and one dependency has no fallback" tells you what to fix and in what order.

Every finding names the problem, the clause it comes from, why it matters, and what would resolve it. The gate explains; it does not just judge.

Inside every check

Enough to challenge. Enough to approve.

Accountability

Who approves

The person accountable for accepting the work, and the exact version they approved.

Human approval required

Right for the job, not perfect for its own sake.

The question is not whether the document is perfect. It is whether it is good enough for the person, team, or coding agent that will build from it.

That is what the Kryterea gate checks: fitness for purpose, measured against the standard your profession already uses.

Argue with the standard.

Put a real document through the gate. Read the findings. If the check missed something, that is the conversation worth having.
