Core record fields
- Stable record or artifact ID
- Product and schema version
- Created and updated time
- Owner or responsible role
- Lifecycle or review state
- Source and provenance
- Units, period, geography, classification, or audience where applicable
- Validation findings and uncertainty
- Privacy and publication boundary
- Export or handoff integrity metadata
Lifecycle
Use a human-controlled lifecycle such as draft → review → approved/published, with revise, superseded, archived, withdrawn, failed, and recovered states where appropriate. Automated analysis may recommend; it must not silently approve, publish, or create private cases.
Validation
- Required-field and type checks
- Identifier and relationship checks
- Unit, period, geography, method, and classification compatibility
- Product and schema compatibility
- Source, evidence, and provenance completeness
- Permission, privacy, and publication-boundary checks
- Deterministic checksum or fingerprint validation for portable artifacts
Integrations
- Product Support and Feedback Platform
- Microsoft Teams
- Configured calendar
- Email delivery
- Platform Core
Send the minimum required fields through a typed contract. Preserve source product, destination, schema, artifact ID, review state, provenance, consent or privacy boundary, and receipt. Private Contact and Engagement records never belong in public support or research artifacts.
Release review
- Confirm interface, service, manifest, package, and schema versions.
- Validate the all-feature sample.
- Run product tests and integrity checks.
- Test one export and each supported handoff category.
- Document breaking changes and migration path.
- Update Last Verified Version before publishing this article.
Expected output
- A complete feature contract
- A validated synthetic export
- A compatibility decision
- A documented integration receipt
- A release-integrity report
Verification
- Product slug, version, schema, and IDs agree.
- Every documented feature maps to an actual interface, command, route, or record.
- The sample files produce the stated artifacts.
- Integrations preserve provenance and privacy.
- Migration, rollback, support, and release documentation are current.
Responsible use
Apply least privilege, secure uploads, consent, retention limits, incident response, and strict separation from public support content.
